Are the projection functions on the space of functions $\sum_j a_j e^{i \lambda_j x}$ continuous wrt the sup-norm?

In my previous question I was interested in an explicit lower bound for $ \displaystyle \sup_{x \in \mathbb R} \big |\sum_j a_j e^{i \lambda_j x}\big|$ in terms of the coefficients $a_j$. It turns out ...

Trouble proving inequality regarding the modulus of a complex number sum in uniform distribution theorem

I'm currently working through the proof of the theorem stated in Uniform Distribution of Sequences by Harald Niederreiter and L. Kuipers. The theorem states that if $\Delta x_n = x_{n+1} - x_n \...

Applying Whittaker's and Watson's Lagrange theorem to $\sin$

I want to use the Lagrange inversion theorem from Whittaker and Watson, p. 133, to find the power series of $\sin^{-1}$ at the origin. It should be a valid procedure because $\sin^{-1}$ is analytic at ...

Find all entire functions such that $|f(z+z')|\leq |f(z)| + |f(z')|$, for all $z,z'\in\mathbb{C}$

Find all entire functions such that $|f(z+z')|\leq |f(z)| + |f(z')|$, for all $z,z'\in\mathbb{C}$ In particular, let $z=z'$ yields $|f(2z)|\leq2|f(z)|$. This gives that $\frac{f(2z)}{f(z)}=c, $ for ...
