Although the property of strong metric subregularity of set-valued mappings has been present in the literature under various names and with various definitions for more than two decades, it has attracted much less attention than its older…

A polynomial with integer coefficients yields a family of dynamical systems indexed by primes as follows: for any prime $p$, reduce its coefficients mod $p$ and consider its action on the field $\mathbb{F}_p$. We say a subset of…

Let $R$ be a finite non-commutative ring with $1\ne 0$. By a polynomial function on $R$, we mean a function $F\colon R\longrightarrow R$ induced by a polynomial $f=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{n}a_ix^i\in R[x]$ via right substitution of the variable…

Flux reconstruction provides a framework for solving partial differential equations in which functions are discontinuously approximated within elements. Typically, this is done by using polynomials. Here, the use of radial basis functions…

We prove a generalized version of the Morse index theorem for geodesics endowed with a non positive definite metric tensor (semi-Riemannian manifolds). We apply the result to obtain lower estimates on the number of geodesics joining two…

Computations of incompressible flows with velocity boundary conditions require solution of a Poisson equation for pressure with all Neumann boundary conditions. Discretization of such a Poisson equation results in a rank-deficient matrix of…

In this paper we prove that the gradient ideal of a Morse polynomial is radical. This gives a generic class of polynomials whose gradient ideals are radical. As a consequence we reclaim a previous result that the unconstrained polynomial…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field of characteristic zero and $\mathbb{K}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ the corresponding multivariate polynomial ring. Given a sequence of $s$ polynomials $\mathbf{f} = (f_1, \dots, f_s)$ and a polynomial $\phi$, all in…

Given a prime $p\ge5$ and an integer $s\ge1$, we show that there exists an integer $M$ such that for any quadratic polynomial $f$ with coefficients in the ring of integers modulo $p^s$, such that $f$ is not a square, if a sequence…

Graphical models represent multivariate and generally not normalized probability distributions. Computing the normalization factor, called the partition function, is the main inference challenge relevant to multiple statistical and…

We locate the Malgrange non-regular values of a given polynomial function $f:\bC^n \to \bC$ by using a series of affine polar curves. We moreover show that all non-trivial Malgrange non-regular values of $f$ are indicated by a single…

The growing availability of computational resources has significantly increased the interest of the scientific community in performing complex multi-physics and multi-domain simulations. However, the generation of appropriate computational…
