Let $A = K[x_1, ..., x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ with each $\deg x_i = 1$. Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal of $A$ with $I \ne A$ and $H_{A/I}$ the Hilbert function of the quotient algebra $A / I$. Given…

For any two n-th order polynomials a(s) and b(s), the Hurwitz stability of their convex combination is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a polynomial c(s) such that c(s)/a(s) and c(s)/b(s) are both strictly positive real.

For a given length and a given degree and an arbitrary partition of the positive integers, there always is a cell containing a polynomial progression of that length and that degree; moreover, the coefficients of the generating polynomial…

We prove that, for $C^1$-generic diffeomorphisms, if the periodic orbits contained in a homoclinic class $H(p)$ have all their Lyapunov exponents bounded away from 0, then $H(p)$ must be (uniformly) hyperbolic. This is in sprit of the works…

The Sidon constant for the index set of nonzero m-homogeneous polynomials P in n complex variables is the supremum of the ratio between the l^1 norm of the coefficients of P and the supremum norm of P in D^n. We present an estimate which…

For a NIP theory $T$, a sufficiently saturated model $\mathfrak{C}$ of $T$, and an invariant (over some small subset of $\mathfrak{C}$) global type $p$, we prove that there exists a finest relatively type-definable over a small set of…

Let $p(x)=a_0 + a_1 x + \ldots + a_n x^n$ be a polynomial with all roots real and satisfying $x \leq -\delta$ for some $0<\delta <1$. We show that for any $0 < \epsilon <1$, the value of $p(1)$ is determined within relative error $\epsilon$…

We consider the stability of high-order Scott-Vogelius elements for 2D non-Newtonian incompressible flow problems. For elements of degree 4 or higher, we construct a right-inverse of the divergence operator that is stable uniformly in the…

The paper studies the minimum polynomial degrees of $p$-elements in cross-characteristic representations of simple groups of exceptional Lie type whose BN-pair rank is at most 2. Specifically, we prove that the degree in question equals the…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal, $M$ and $N$ finitely generated $R$-modules. Assume $V(I)\cap Supp(M)\cap Supp(N)$ consists of finitely many maximal ideals and let ${\l}(\e^i(N/I^nN,M))$ denote the length of…

We demonstrate a polynomial approach to express the decision version of the directed Hamiltonian Cycle Problem (HCP), which is NP-Complete, as the Solvability of a Polynomial Equation with a constant number of variables, within a bounded…

Given a real polynomial $p$ with only real zeroes, we find upper and lower bounds for the number of non-real zeroes of the differential polynomial $$ F_{\varkappa}[p](z):= p(z)p''(z)-\varkappa[p'(z)]^2,$$ where $\varkappa$ is a real number.…

The growth of Hilbert coefficients for powers of ideals are studied. For a graded ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ and a finitely generated graded $S$-module, the Hilbert coefficients $e_i(M/I^kM)$ are polynomial…

We call a smooth function of one variable a degree n pseudopolynomial if its n-th derivative has no (real) zeros. An n pseudopolynomial is called hyperbolic if it has exactly n simple zeros. In this short note we describe the necessary and…

In the recent progress [BE1], [Me] and [Z2], the well-known JC (Jacobian conjecture) ([BCW], [E]) has been reduced to a VC (vanishing conjecture) on the Laplace operators and HN (Hessian nilpotent) polynomials (the polynomials whose Hessian…
