Bernstein's problem on weighted polynomial approximation

We formulate and discuss a necessary and sufficient condition for polynomials to be dense in a space of continuous functions on the real line, with respect to Bernstein's weighted uniform norm. Equivalently, for a positive finite measure $\mu$ on the real line we give a criterion for density of polynomials in $L^p(\mu)$

Pseudocontinuation and cyclicity for random power series

We prove that a random function in the Hardy space $H^2$ is a non-cyclic vector for the backward shift operator almost surely. The question of existence of a local pseudocontinuation for a random analytic function is also studied
