UNIVERSAL HOLOMORPHIC FUNCTIONS IN SEVERAL VARIABLES (Q4338048)

Let \(\{a^{(\ell)}\}\) be a sequence of \(n\)-tuples of positive numbers such that \(|a^{(\ell)} |_m= \min \{|a_i^{(\ell)}\), \(i=1, \dots, n\} \to\infty\) when \(\ell\to \infty\). The following two theorems are proved in this paper: Theorem 2 (extension of Birkhoff's theorem). For the sequence \(\{a^{(\ell)}\}\) there is an entire function \(F(z)\) on \(\mathbb{C}^n\) such that for every entire function \(f(z)\) there exists a subsequence \(\{a^{(\ell_k)}\}\) of \(\{a_{(\ell)}\}\) for which \(\{F(z+ a^{(\ell_k)})\}\) converges to \(f(z)\) uniformly on compact sets in \(\mathbb{C}^n\). Let \(K\) be a compact set in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) such that for any entire function \(f\) \[ K= \overline K:= \biggl\{z\in \mathbb{C}^n: \bigl|f(z) \bigr|\leq\sup_{w\in K} \bigl|f(w) \bigr|\biggr\}, \] let \(A(K)\) be the set of all holomorphic functions in a neighbourhood of \(K\). Theorem 3 (extension of Luh's theorem). For the sequence \(\{a^{(\ell)}\}\) there is an entire function \(F(z)\) on \(\mathbb{C}^n\) with the following property that for every \(K\) and every \(f\in A(K)\) there exists a subsequence \(\{a^{(\ell_k)}\}\) of \(\{a^{(\ell)}\}\) such that \(\{F(z+ a^{(\ell_k)}\}\) converges to \(f(z)\) uniformly on \(K\).
