Consider a system of two polynomial equations in two variables: $$F(X,Y)=G(X,Y)=0$$ where $F \in \rr[X,Y]$ has degree $d \geq 1$ and $G \in \rr[X,Y]$ has $t$ monomials. We show that the system has only $O(d^3t+d^2t^3)$ real solutions when…
We give a high precision polynomial-time approximation scheme for the supremum of any honest n-variate (n+2)-nomial with a constant term, allowing real exponents as well as real coefficients. Our complexity bounds count field operations and…
We show how to construct sparse polynomial systems that have non-trivial lower bounds on their numbers of real solutions. These are unmixed systems associated to certain polytopes. For the order polytope of a poset P this lower bound is the…
We show that there are fewer than (e^2+3) 2^(k choose 2) n^k/4 non-degenerate positive solutions to a fewnomial system consisting of n polynomials in n variables having a total of n+k+1 distinct monomials. This is significantly smaller than…
We prove a new lower bound for the Mahler measure of a polynomial in one and in several variables that depends on the complex coefficients, and the number of monomials. In one variable our result generalizes a classical inequality of…
The degree of a polynomial representing (or approximating) a function f is a lower bound for the number of quantum queries needed to compute f. This observation has been a source of many lower bounds on quantum algorithms. It has been an…
Theorem 1 is a formula expressing the mean number of real roots of a random multihomogeneous system of polynomial equations as a multiple of the mean absolute value of the determinant of a random matrix. Theorem 2 derives closed form…
We discuss two conjectures. (I) For each x_1,...,x_n \in R (C) there exist y_1,...,y_n \in R (C) such that \forall i \in {1,...,n} |y_i| \leq 2^{2^{n-2}} \forall i \in {1,...,n} (x_i=1 \Rightarrow y_i=1) \forall i,j,k \in {1,...,n}…
We show that, apart from some obvious exceptions, the number of trinomials vanishing at given complex numbers is bounded by an absolute constant. When the numbers are algebraic, we also bound effectively the degrees and the heights of these…
It is well-known that affine (respectively projective) simple arrangements of n pseudo-lines may have at most n(n-2)/3 (respectively n(n-1)/3) triangles. However, these bounds are reached for only some values of n (mod 6). We provide the…
Many upper bounds for the moduli of polynomial roots have been proposed but reportedly assessed on selected examples or restricted classes only. Regarding quality measured in terms of worst-case relative overestimation of the maximum…
We consider multivariable polynomials over a fixed number field, linear in some of the variables. For a system of such polynomials satisfying certain technical conditions we prove the existence of search bounds for simultaneous zeros with…
For a fixed singular modulus $\alpha$, we give an effective lower bound of norm of $x-\alpha$ for another singular modulus $x$ with large discriminant. We then generalize this result for $\Phi_m(x,\alpha)$, where $\Phi_m(X,Y) \in \Z[X,Y]$…
Let $f_{1}, \ldots, f_{k}$ be polynomials defining an algebraic set in affine $n$-space over a finite field. Suppose $k>n$. We prove that there exists a system of polynomials $g_{1}, \ldots, g_{n}$, each being a linear combination with…
We provide upper bounds for the sum of the multiplicities of the non-constant irreducible factors that appear in the canonical decomposition of a polynomial $f(X)\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$, in case all the roots of $f$ lie inside an Apollonius…
This paper describes infinite sets of polynomial equations in infinitely many variables with the property that the existence of a solution or even an approximate solution for every finite subset of the equations implies the existence of a…
Our main result is that every n-dimensional polytope can be described by at most (2n-1) polynomial inequalities and, moreover, these polynomials can explicitly be constructed. For an n-dimensional pointed polyhedral cone we prove the bound…
Consider a system F of n polynomials in n variables, with a total of n+k distinct exponent vectors, over any local field L. We discuss conjecturally tight bounds on the maximal number of non-degenerate roots F can have over L, with all…
Polynomial threshold gates are basic processing units of an artificial neural network. When the input vectors are binary vectors, these gates correspond to Boolean functions and can be analyzed via their polynomial representations. In…
An efficient evaluation method is described for polynomials in finite fields. Its complexity is shown to be lower than that of standard techniques when the degree of the polynomial is large enough. Applications to the syndrome computation…
