Let $I_k = [(2k-1)^2, (2k+1)^2)$ for $k \geq 1$. Starting from the odd-composite matrix $(b_{ij})$ with $b_{ij} = (2i-1)(2j-1)$, introduced by the author in [1], we define for each odd integer $n$ the \emph{matrix multiplicity} $r(n)$, the…

It is shown that if a function defined on the segment [-1,1] has sufficiently good approximation by partial sums of the Legendre polynomial expansion, then, given the function's Fourier coefficients $c_n$ for some subset of $n\in[n_1,n_2]$,…

We prove that for any Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb R^n$ there exists a set $X\subset \mathbb R^n$ of $n+1$ points such that any $n$-variate quadratic polynomial $P$ that is nonnegative on $X$ (i.e. $P(x)\geq 0$, for every $x…

For a set $A$ of nonnegative integers, let $R_2(A,n)$ and $R_3(A,n)$ denote the number of solutions to $n=a+a'$ with $a,a'\in A$, $a<a'$ and $a\leq a'$, respectively. In this paper, we prove that, if $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ and $N$ is a…

A combinatorial optimization problem (COP) has a finite groundset $E(\left|E\right|=N$), a weight vector $c=\left(c^e:e\in E\right)$ and a family $T\in E$ of feasible subsets with objective to find $t\in T$ with maximal weight:…

For a polynomial $P$ mapping the integers into the integers, define an averaging operator $A_{N} f(x):=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{k=1}^N f(x+P(k))$ acting on functions on the integers. We prove sufficient conditions for the $\ell^{p}$-improving…

Here, we give an algorithm for deciding if the nonnegative rank of a matrix $M$ of dimension $m \times n$ is at most $r$ which runs in time $(nm)^{O(r^2)}$. This is the first exact algorithm that runs in time singly-exponential in $r$. This…

Recently classes of conic and discrete conic functions were introduced. In this paper we use the term convic instead conic. The class of convic functions properly includes the classes of convex functions, strictly quasiconvex functions and…

We first show the existence and nature of convergence to a limiting set of roots for polynomials in a three-term recurrence of the form $p_{n+1}(z) = Q_k(z)p_{n}(z)+ \gamma p_{n-1}(z)$ as $n$ $\rightarrow$ $\infty$, where the coefficient…

Consider the triplet $(E, \mathcal{P}, \pi)$, where $E$ is a finite ground set, $\mathcal{P} \subseteq 2^E$ is a collection of subsets of $E$ and $\pi : \mathcal{P} \rightarrow [0,1]$ is a requirement function. Given a vector of marginals…

We establish a generalization of Bourgain double recurrence theorem by proving that for any map $T$ acting on a probability space $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$, and for any non-constant polynomials $P, Q$ mapping natural numbers to themselves, for…

We prove that if $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 2$) is a Lebesgue-measurable set with density larger than $\frac{n-2}{n-1}$, then $E$ contains similar copies of every $n$-point set $P$ at all sufficiently large scales. Moreover,…

In this paper we derive a new recovery procedure for the reconstruction of extended exponential sums of the form $y(t) = \sum_{j=1}^{M} \left( \sum_{m=0}^{n_j} \, \gamma_{j,m} \, t^{m} \right) {\mathrm e}^{2\pi \lambda_j t}$, where the…

It is shown that, for each $d \geq 4$, there exists an integral convex polytope $\mathcal{P}$ of dimension $d$ such that each of the coefficients of $n, n^{2}, \ldots, n^{d-2}$ of its Ehrhart polynomial $i(\mathcal{P},n)$ is negative.…

With any integer convex polytope $P\subset\midR^n$ we associate a multivariate hypergeometric polynomial whose set of exponents is $\midZ^{n}\cap P.$ This polynomial is defined uniquely up to a constant multiple and satisfies a holonomic…

We consider approximating analytic functions on the interval $[-1,1]$ from their values at a set of $m+1$ equispaced nodes. A result of Platte, Trefethen \& Kuijlaars states that fast and stable approximation from equispaced samples is…

Let A be a subset of the primes. Let \delta_P(N) = \frac{|\{n\in A: n\leq N\}|}{|\{\text{$n$ prime}: n\leq N\}|}. We prove that, if \delta_P(N)\geq C \frac{\log \log \log N}{(\log \log N)^{1/3}} for N\geq N_0, where C and N_0 are absolute…

A perfect matching in an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set of vertex disjoint edges from $E$ that include all vertices in $V$. The perfect matching problem is to decide if $G$ has such a matching. Recently Rothvo{\ss} proved the striking…

We are interested in maximizing the number of pairwise unrelated copies of a poset $P$ in the family of all subsets of $[n]$. We prove that for any $P$ the maximum number of unrelated copies of $P$ is asymptotic to a constant times the…
