An observation by J-P. Serre implies that cubic polynomials are unique among generic monic polynomials of degree 2 or higher in that they have a root that is a power series in the discriminant of the polynomial. We provide formulas for this…

By polynomial (or extended binomial) coefficients, we mean the coefficients in the expansion of integral powers, positive and negative, of the polynomial $1+t +\cdots +t^{m}$; $m\geq 1$ being a fixed integer. We will establish several…

Spinor polynomials are polynomials with coefficients in the even sub-algebra of conformal geometric algebra whose norm polynomial is real. They describe rational conformal motions. Factorizations of spinor polynomial corresponds to the…

For an odd prime power $q$ satisfying $q\equiv 1\pmod 3$ we construct totally $2(q-1) $ permutation polyomials, all giving involutory permutations with exactly $ 1+ \frac{q-1}3$ fixed points. Among them $(q-1)$ polynomials are trinomials,…

C.M. Bender and G. V. Dunne showed that linear combinations of words $q^{k}p^{n}q^{n-k}$, where $p$ and $q$ are subject to the relation $qp - pq = \imath$, may be expressed as a polynomial in the symbol $z = \tfrac{1}{2}(qp+pq)$. Relations…

A positive square-free integer is called a \textit{congruent number} if it arises as the area of a right triangle with rational side lengths. Let $ n = p_1p_2 \cdots p_t q $ be a square-free integer, where each $ p_i \equiv 1 \pmod{8} $ and…

We explore the connection between cyclotomic mapping permutation polynomials and permutation polynomials of the form $x^rf(x^{\frac{q-1}{l}})$ over finite fields. We present a new necessary and a new sufficient condition to verify…

Given a symmetric polynomial $P$ in $2n$ variables, there exists a unique symmetric polynomial $Q$ in $n$ variables such that \[ P(x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n^{-1}) =Q(x_1+x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n+x_n^{-1}). \] We denote this polynomial…

We initiate the theory of a quadratic form $q$ over a semiring $R$. As customary, one can write $$q(x+y) = q(x) + q(y)+ b(x,y),$$ where $b$ is a companion bilinear form. But in contrast to the ring-theoretic case, the companion bilinear…

We propose a solution approach for the problem (P) of minimizing an unconstrained binary polynomial optimization problem. We call this method PQCR (Polynomial Quadratic Convex Reformulation). The resolution is based on a 3-phase method. The…

The subset of quadratic primes {p = an^2 + bn + c : n => 1} generated by an irreducible polynomial f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c over the integers is widely believed to be an unbounded subset of prime numbers. This note provides the details of a…

Let P be an elementary closed semi-algebraic set in R^d, i.e., there exist real polynomials p_1,...,p_s such that P= \{x \in R^d : p_1(x) \ge 0, >..., p_s(x) \ge 0 \}; in this case p_1,...,p_s are said to represent P. Denote by $n$ the…

The classical Pell equation can be extended to the cubic case considering the elements of norm one in $Z[\sqrt[3]{r}]$, which satisfy $x^3 + r y^3 + r^2 z^3 - 3 r x y z = 1$. The solution of the cubic Pell equation is harder than the…

Cantor primes are primes p such that 1/p belongs to the middle-third Cantor set. One way to look at them is as containing the base-3 analogues of the famous Mersenne primes, which encompass all base-2 repunit primes, i.e., primes consisting…

The primary Carmichael numbers were recently introduced as a special subset of the Carmichael numbers. A primary Carmichael number $m$ has the unique property that $s_p(m) = p$ holds for each prime factor $p$, where $s_p(m)$ is the sum of…

A cubic partition is an integer partition wherein the even parts can appear in two colors. In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized cubic partitions and prove a number of new congruences akin to the classical Ramanujan-type. We…

A rational perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges and face diagonals are given by rational numbers and whose space diagonal is equal to unity. It is described by a system of four quadratic equations with respect to six…

We study some arithmetic properties of the Ramanujan function $\tau(n)$, such as the largest prime divisor $P(\tau(n))$ and the number of distinct prime divisors $\omega(\tau(n))$ of $\tau(n)$ for various sequences of $n$. In particular, we…

If the coefficients of polynomials are selected by some random process, the zeros of the resulting polynomials are in some sense random. In this paper the author rephrases the above in more precise language, and calculates the joint…
