Random matrix theory allows one to deduce the eigenvalue spectrum of a large matrix given only statistical information about its elements. Such results provide insight into what factors contribute to the stability of complex dynamical…
The usual methods for root finding of polynomials are based on the iteration of a numerical formula for improvement of successive estimations. The unpredictable nature of the iterations prevents to search roots inside a pre-specified region…

We describe the ideals, especially the prime ideals, of semirings of polynomials over layered domains, and in particular over supertropical domains. Since there are so many of them, special attention is paid to the ideals arising from…

We find a relation between mixed volumes of several polytopes and the convex hull of their union, deducing it from the following fact: the mixed volume of a collection of polytopes only depends on the product of their support functions…
In Parts I and II of this series of papers, three new methods for the computation of eigenvalues of singular pencils were developed: rank-completing perturbations, rank-projections, and augmentation. It was observed that a straightforward…

We determine the Lagrange function in Taylor polynomial approximation by solving an appropriate initial-value problem. Hence, we determine the remainder term which we then approximate by means of a natural cubic spline. This results in a…
The roots of any polynomial of degree m with complex integer coefficients can be computed by manipulation of sequences made from distinct symbols and counting the different symbols in the sequences. This method requires only primitive…

The inverse of a large matrix can often be accurately approximated by a polynomial of degree significantly lower than the order of the matrix. The iteration polynomial generated by a run of the GMRES algorithm is a good candidate, and its…
