We investigate the large values of class numbers of cubic fields, showing that one can find arbitrary long sequences of "close" abelian cubic number fields with class numbers as large as possible. We also give a first step toward an…

We discuss existence of explicit search bounds for zeros of polynomials with coefficients in a number field. Our main result is a theorem about the existence of polynomial zeros of small height over the field of algebraic numbers outside of…

In this paper we prove that all irrational numbers from totally real cubic number fields are well approximable by rationals (i.e. the partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of such a number are unbounded). This settles the…

The sudoku minimum number of clues problem is the following question: what is the smallest number of clues that a sudoku puzzle can have? For several years it had been conjectured that the answer is 17. We have performed an exhaustive…

A system of $m$ nonzero vectors in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ is called an $m$-icube if they are pairwise orthogonal and have the same length. The paper describes $m$-icubes in $\mathbb{Z}^4$ for $2\le m\le 4$ using Hurwitz integral quaternions, counts…

Every quadratic form represents 0; therefore, if we take any number of quadratic forms and ask which integers are simultaneously represented by all members of the collection, we are guaranteed a nonempty set. But when is that set more than…

We estimate the number of integer solutions to decomposable form inequalities (both asymptotic estimates and upper bounds are provided) when the degree of the form and the number of variables are relatively prime. These estimates display…

We study the zeros of cusp forms in the Miller basis whose vanishing order at infinity is a fixed number $m$. We show that for sufficiently large weights, the finite zeros of such forms in the fundamental domain, all lie on the circular…

We establish the first effective improvements on the Liouville inequality for approximation to complex non-real algebraic numbers by complex algebraic numbers of degree at most 4.

We investigate the problem of the maximum number of cubic subwords (of the form $www$) in a given word. We also consider square subwords (of the form $ww$). The problem of the maximum number of squares in a word is not well understood.…

We give an explicit upper bound for the algebraic degree and an explicit lower bound for the absolute value of the minimum of a polynomial function on a compact connected component of a basic closed semialgebraic set when this minimum is…

We study the solubility of cubic equations over the integers. Assuming a necessary congruence condition, the existence of such solutions is established when the $h$-invariant of $C$ is at least $14$, improving on work of Davenport-Lewis and…

Given a polynomial system f associated with a simple multiple zero x of multiplicity {\mu}, we give a computable lower bound on the minimal distance between the simple multiple zero x and other zeros of f. If x is only given with limited…

We establish that almost every positive integer $n$ is the sum of four cubes, two of which are at most $n^{\theta}$, as long as $\theta\geq192/869$. An asymptotic formula for the number of such representations is established when…

We consider a combinatorial question about searching for an unknown ideal $\mu$ within a known poset $\lambda$. Elements of $\lambda$ may be queried for membership in $\mu$, but at most $k$ positive query results are permitted. The goal is…

In the paper we partially solved the problem of the distribution of the discriminants of integral polynomials in the cubic case. We proved the asymptotic formula for the number of integral cubic polynomials having bounded height and bounded…

We give a uniform asymptotic bound for the number of zeros of complete Abelian integrals in domains bounded away from infinity and the singularities.

We investigate the least number of palindromic factors in an infinite word. We first consider general alphabets, and give answers to this problem for periodic and non-periodic words, closed or not under reversal of factors. We then…

We show that the number of integer solutions for a pair of bilinear equations in at least 2*6 variables has (up to logarithms) the expected upper bound unless there is a structural reason why it is not the case.

We show that if $K$ is a monogenic, primitive, totally real number field, that contains units of every signature, then there exists a lower bound for the rank of integer universal quadratic forms defined over $K$. In particular, we extend…
