This is a revision and update of the part of the preprint math.CO/0405210 concerning field coefficients, line complexes, and the Hessian arrangement. The material from that paper concerning coefficients in arbitrary commutative rings and…

Let $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ be a polynomial over a field $K$. This paper considers such questions as the enumeration of the number of nonzero coefficients of $f$ or of the number of coefficients equal to $\alpha\in K^*$. For instance, if $K=\ff_q$…

We derive analytical expressions for the solid angle subtended by a right finite circular cylinder at a point source with cosine angular distribution in the case where the source direction is parallel to the cylinder axis. As a subsidiary…

Given a closed, convex cone $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, a multivariate polynomial $f\in\mathbb{C}[\mathbf{z}]$ is called $K$-stable if the imaginary parts of its roots are not contained in the relative interior of $K$. If $K$ is the…

The contents of the paper is now covered in two separate papers arXiv:0904.2188 and arXiv:0904.2602. Please refer to those. Note that you can still access the original version arXiv:0711.4082v1.

Let $N$ be a positive integer and let $S_N$ be the set of polynomials with integer coefficients, degree less than $N$, and minimal positive integral over $[0,1]$. D. Bazzanella initiated the study of $S_N$ because of its relation to the…

This brief note concerns the invertibility of certain alternant matrices. In particular those that consisting of polynomials and products of polynomials and logarithms are shown to be invertible under appropriate conditions on the degrees…

I present a $q$-analog of the discrete Painlev\'e I equation, and a special realization of it in terms of $q$-orthogonal polynomials.

A problem based on the Extended Euclidean Algorithm applied to a class of polynomials with many factors is presented and believed to be hard. If so, it is a one-way function well suited for applications in digital signicatures.

In a companion paper [On semiclassical orthogonal polynomials via polynomial mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. (2017)] we proved that the semiclassical class of orthogonal polynomials is stable under polynomial transformations. In this work we…

This paper presents formulae for calculation the solid angle of intersecting spherical caps, conical surfaces and polyhedral cones.

Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.

We study an action of the skew divided difference operators on the Schubert polynomials and give an explicit formula for structural constants for the Schubert polynomials in terms of certain weighted paths in the Bruhat order on the…

The object of this paper is to generalize a theorem on the binomial coefficient [4] to the case in an arithmetic progression. We will also give a slightly stronger result than Langevin's [2].

We show that every real nonnegative polynomial $f$ can be approximated as closely as desired by a sequence of polynomials $\{f_\epsilon\}$ that are sums of squares. Each $f_\epsilon$ has a simple et explicit form in terms of $f$ and…

The concept of sums of nonnegative circuit polynomials (SONC) was recently introduced as a new certificate of nonnegativity especially for sparse polynomials. In this paper, we explore the relationship between nonnegative polynomials and…

In this article, we prove some factorization results for several classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield several classes of irreducible polynomials. Such classes of polynomials are devised by imposing…

We introduce the notion of interlacing log-concavity of a polynomial sequence $\{P_m(x)\}_{m\geq 0}$, where $P_m(x)$ is a polynomial of degree m with positive coefficients $a_{i}(m)$. This sequence of polynomials is said to be interlacing…

The solid angle subtended by a right circular cylinder at a point source located at an arbitrary position generally consists of a sum of two terms: that defined by the cylindrical surface ($\Omega_{cyl}$) and the other by either of the end…
