We consider the set of monic real univariate polynomials of a given degree $d$ with non-vanishing coefficients, with given signs of the coefficients and with given quantities $pos$ of their positive and $neg$ of their negative roots (all…

We give a simple condition for a linear recurrence (mod 2^w) of degree r to have the maximal possible period 2^(w-1).(2^r-1). It follows that the period is maximal in the cases of interest for pseudo-random number generation, i.e. for…

We prove a complex polynomial of degree $n$ has at most $\lceil n/2 \rceil$ attractive fixed points lying on a line. We also consider the general case.

Gauss and Abel proved that the points dividing the unit circle and the lemniscate of Bernoulli in parts of equal length have algebraic coordinates. In this note we generalise these results to the Erd\H{o}s lemniscate with three leaves. We…

A new lower bound for the maximal length of a multivector is obtained. It is much closer to the best known upper bound than previously reported lower bound estimates. The maximal length appears to be unexpectedly large for $n$-vectors, with…

Finding the point in an algebraic variety that is closest to a given point is an optimization problem with many applications. We study the case when the variety is a Fermat hypersurface. Our formula for its Euclidean distance degree is a…

Consider a sequence of random polynomials $P_n(z) = \prod_{k=1}^{n}(z - X_k)$, where $\{X_k\}_k$ are i.i.d. random variables distributed uniformly on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$. Let $\Lambda_n = \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |P_n(z)| < 1\}$ be the…

We prove that the degree of the Hilbert polynomial of the HOMFLYPT homology of a closed braid $B$ is $l-1$, where $l$ is the number of components of $B$. This controls the growth of the HOMFLYPT homology with respect to its polynomial…

We establish a new characterization for a conformal mapping of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ to be convex, and identify the mappings onto a half-plane or a parallel strip as extremals. We also show that, with these exceptions, the level sets…

This work is a continuation of [13]. We study the linear disjointness between higher-order oscillating sequences and nonlinear dynamical systems. Specifically, we prove that any oscillating sequence of order $m=d+k-1$ and any simple…

We point out that the strong slope conjecture implies that the degrees of the colored Jones knot polynomials detect the figure eight knot. Furthermore, we propose a characterization of alternating knots in terms of the Jones period and the…

We derive lower bounds for the $L^p(\mu)$ norms of monic extremal polynomials with respect to compactly supported probability measures $\mu$. We obtain a sharp universal lower bound for all $0<p<\infty$ and all measures in the Szeg\H{o}…

We present two classes of level Eulerian posets. Both classes contain intervals of rank k+1 whose cd-index is the sum over all cd-monomials w of degree k and the coefficient of the monomial w is r to the power of the number of d's in w. We…

In this work $n$-dimensional filiform Leibniz algebras admitting a gradation of length $(n-1)$ are classified. Derivations of such algebras are also described.

The catenary degree is an invariant that measures the distance between factorizations of elements within an atomic monoid. In this paper, we classify which finite subsets of $\mathbb Z_{\ge 0}$ occur as the set of catenary degrees of a…

For an abelian variety $A$ over a number field we study bounds depending only on the dimension of $A$ for the minimal degree $d(A)$ of a field extension over which $A$ acquires semi-stable reduction. We first compute $d(A)$ in terms of the…

Consider a linear ordering equipped with a finite sequence of monadic predicates. If the ordering contains an interval of order type \omega or -\omega, and the monadic second-order theory of the combined structure is decidable, there exists…

We prove that the sublevel set $\big\{z\in\mathbb D\colon k_{\mathbb D}\big(z,z_0\big)-k_{\mathbb D}\big(f(z),w_0\big)<\mu\big\}$, ${\mu\in\mathbb R}$, is geodesically convex with respect to the Poincar\'e distance $k_{\mathbb D}$ in the…

We prove that, the diffusivity and conductivity on $\mathbb{Z}^d$-Bernoulli percolation ($d \geq 2$) are infinitely differentiable in supercritical regime. This extends a result by Kozlov [Uspekhi Mat. Nauk 44 (1989), no. 2(266), pp 79 -…

We give an upper bound in O(d ^((n+1)/2)) for the number of critical points of a normal random polynomial with degree d and at most n variables. Using the large deviation principle for the spectral value of large random matrices we obtain…
