We will prove that the Pierce-Birkhoff Conjecture holds for non-singular two-dimensional affine real algebraic varieties over real closed fields, i.e., if W is such a variety, then every piecewise polynomial function on W can be written as…

We prove the Pierce--Birkhoff conjecture for splines, i.e., continuous piecewise polynomials of degree $d$ in $n$ variables on a hyperplane partition of $\mathbb{R}^n$, can be written as a finite lattice combination of polynomials. We will…

Let R be a real closed field. The Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture says that any piecewise polynomial function f on R^n can be obtained from the polynomial ring R[x_1,...,x_n] by iterating the operations of maximum and minimum. The purpose of…

This paper contains a partial result on the Pierce--Birkhoff conjecture on piece-wise polynomial functions defined by a finite collection {f 1,. .., f r} of polynomials. In the nineteen eighties, generalizing the problem from the polynomial…

Motivated by the Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture, we launch an extension program for single variable expansivity theory. We study this notion under tuples of polynomials in the ring $\mathbb{R}[x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n]$. As an application, we develop…

In 1904, Dickson [5] stated a very important conjecture. Now people call it Dickson's conjecture. In 1958, Schinzel and Sierpinski [14] generalized Dickson's conjecture to the higher order integral polynomial case. However, they did not…

In 1951 paper \cite{Ki} Kippenhahn conjectured that if the characteristic polynomial \ $P_A(x_1,x_2,x_3)=\mbox{det}(x_1A_1+x_2A_2-x_3I)$, \ where $A_1$ and $A_2$ are $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices, has a repeated factor in the polynomial…

For each positive integer $n$, function $f$, and point $x$, the 1998 conjecture by Ghinchev, Guerragio, and Rocca states that the existence of the $n$-th Peano derivative $f_{(n)}(x)$ is equivalent to the existence of all $n(n+1)/2$…

Schinzel's Hypothesis H is a general conjecture in number theory on prime values of polynomials that generalizes, e.g., the twin prime conjecture and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progression. We prove an arithmetic analog of…

Let $f$ be sampled uniformly at random from the set of degree $n$ polynomials whose coefficients lie in $\{ \pm 1\}$. A folklore conjecture, known to hold under GRH, states that the probability that $f$ is irreducible tends to $1$ as $n$…

In this paper, we prove a generalization of the Schmidt's subspace theorem for polynomials of higher degree in subgeneral position with respect to a projective variety over a number field. Our result improves and generalizes the previous…

This paper is a step in our program for proving the Piece-Birkhoff Conjecture for regular rings of any dimension (this would contain, in particular, the classical Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture which deals with polynomial rings over a real…

Subresultants of two univariate polynomials are one of the most classic and ubiquitous objects in computational algebra and algebraic geometry. In 1948, Habicht discovered and proved interesting relationships among subresultants. Those…

We show that various identities from [1] and [3] involving Gould-Hopper polynomials can be deduced from the real but also complex orthogonal invariance of multivariate Gaussian distributions. We also deduce from this principle a useful…

We prove a generalization of the classical Poincar\'e--Birkhoff theorem for Liouville domains, in arbitrary even dimensions. This is inspired by the existence of global hypersurfaces of section for the spatial case of the restricted…

Given that $a,b\in\mathbb N$, $c_0,c_1\in\mathbb Z$, $(c_0,c_1)\neq (0,0)$, and a generalized Fibonacci sequence $(s_n)_{n\geq 0}$ where $s_0 = c_0$, $s_1 = c_1$, and $s_{n+1}=as_{n}+bs_{n-1}$ for all positive integers $n$. In this paper,…

Arthur Cohn's irreducibility criterion for polynomials with integer coefficients and its generalization connect primes to irreducibles, and integral bases to the variable $x$. As we follow this link, we find that these polynomials are ready…

In 1855 H. J. S. Smith proved Fermat's two-square using the notion of palindromic continuants. In his paper, Smith constructed a proper representation of a prime number $p$ as a sum of two squares, given a solution of…

The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by $$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,\ldots,x_n):=\sum_{k=0}^n {n+k \choose 2k}^{r}{2k\choose k} x_k. $$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $\varepsilon=\pm 1$, all the coefficients…
