For positive integers d, r, and M, we consider the class of rational functions on real d-dimensional space whose denominators are products of at most r functions of the form 1+Q(x) where each Q is a quadratic form with eigenvalues bounded…

Let $\mathcal C^M$ denote a Denjoy-Carleman class of $\mathcal C^\infty$ functions (for a given logarithmically-convex sequence $M = (M_n)$). We construct: (1) a function in $\mathcal C^M((-1,1))$ which is nowhere in any smaller class; (2)…

We define a dynamic model of random networks, where new vertices are connected to old ones with a probability proportional to a sublinear function of their degree. We first give a strong limit law for the empirical degree distribution, and…

The dynamical degrees of a rational map $f:X\dashrightarrow X$ are fundamental invariants describing the rate of growth of the action of iterates of $f$ on the cohomology of $X$. When $f$ has nonempty indeterminacy set, these quantities can…

We study algebraic discrete valuations dominating normal local domains of dimension two. We construct a family of examples to show that the Hilbert-Samuel function of the associated graded ring of the valuation can fail to be asymptotically…

Given a polynomial P in several variables over an algebraically closed field, we show that except in some special cases that we fully describe, if one coefficient is allowed to vary, then the polynomial is irreducible for all but at most…

Let $B$ be a fixed rational function of one complex variable of degree at least two. In this paper, we study solutions of the functional equation $A\circ X=X\circ B$ in rational functions $A$ and $X$. Our main result states that, unless $B$…

We prove that some of the basic differential functions appearing in the (unramified) theory of arithmetic differential equations, especially some of the basic differential modular forms in that theory, arise from a "ramified situation".…

A ridge function is a function of several variables that is constant along certain directions in its domain. Using classical dimensional analysis, we show that many physical laws are ridge functions; this fact yields insight into the…

A univariate polynomial f over a field is decomposable if f = g o h = g(h) for nonlinear polynomials g and h. It is intuitively clear that the decomposable polynomials form a small minority among all polynomials over a finite field. The…

Given a graph G of order n and size m, let s(G)= sum|d(u)-2m/n|, where the sum is taken over all vertices u of G. We investigate upper and lower bounds on eigenvalues of G in terms of s(G).

In this paper we derive results concerning the connected components and the diameter of random graphs with an arbitrary i.i.d. degree sequence. We study these properties primarily, but not exclusively, when the tail of the degree…

We consider maps between commutative groups and their functional degrees. These degrees are defined based on a simple idea -- the functional degree should decrease if a discrete derivative is taken. We show that the maps of finite…

This paper deals with constructions and properties of unusual function from R to R, as discontinuous additive functions and everywhere surjections.

The degrees are a classical and relevant way to study the topology of a network. They can be used to assess the goodness-of-fit for a given random graph model. In this paper we introduce goodness-of-fit tests for two classes of models.…

Let $D$ be an directed graph on $p\geq 10$ vertices with minimum degree at least $p-1$ and minimum semi-degree at least $ p/2 -1$. We present a detailed proof of the following result [13]: The digraph $D$ is pancyclic, unless some extremal…

We prove that every finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field is either derived tame or derived wild. We also prove that any deformation of a derived tame algebra is derived tame.

We introduce a new definition of topological degree for a meaningful class of operators which need not be continuous. Subsequently, we derive a number of fixed point theorems for such operators. As an application, we deduce a new existence…

We consider rough differential equations whose coefficients contain path-dependent bounded variation terms and prove the existence and a priori estimate of solutions. These equations include classical path-dependent SDEs containing running…

Let L be a bounded distributive lattice. We give several characterizations of those L^n --> L mappings that are polynomial functions, i.e., functions which can be obtained from projections and constant functions using binary joins and…
