We revisit the classic Wigner semi-circle from two different angles. One consists in studying the Stieltjes transform directly on the real axis, which does not converge to a fixed value but follows a Cauchy distribution that depends on the…

In 1993, Shub and Smale posed the problem of finding a sequence of univariate polynomials of degree $N$ with condition number bounded above by $N$. In a previous paper by C. Belt\'an, U. Etayo, J. Marzo and J. Ortega-Cerd\`a, it was proved…

In this paper we study Devinatz's moment problem: to find a non-negative Borel measure $\mu$ in a strip $\Pi = \{(x,\phi):\ x\in \mathbb{R},\ -\pi\leq \phi < \pi\},$ such that $\int_\Pi x^m e^{in\phi} d\mu = s_{m,n}$, $m\in \mathbb{Z}_+$,…

We begin with the observation that the signed generalized Stirling polynomials $P_k(m,x)$, which occur in a generalization of Malmsten's integral, reduce to the falling factorials when $k=m$. The structure of these generalized Stirling…

Let $d\nu$ be a measure in $\mathbb{R}^d$ obtained from adding a set of mass points to another measure $d\mu$. Orthogonal polynomials in several variables associated with $d\nu$ can be explicitly expressed in terms of orthogonal polynomials…

In this article we provide an experimental algorithm that in many cases gives us an upper bound of the global infimum of a real polynomial on $\R^{n}$. It is very well known that to find the global infimum of a real polynomial on $\R^{n}$,…

This paper gives via Stieltjes transform a complete description of the solution set of a matricial truncated Stieltjes-type power moment problem in the non-degenerate and degenerate cases. The approach is based on the Schur type algorithm…

We consider a normalized indeterminate Hamburger moment sequence s which is supposed to be Stieltjes. We revisit old results about determinacy/indeterminacy in the sense of Stieltjes for s and we prove some new results about the concepts…

We investigate determinants of random unitary pencils (with scalar or matrix coefficients), which generalize the characteristic polynomial of a single unitary matrix. In particular we examine moments of such determinants, obtained by…

The paper deals with different properties of polynomials in random elements: bounds for characteristics functionals of polynomials, stochastic generalization of the Vinogradov mean value theorem, characterization problem, bounds for…

We investigate the scalar Chern-Simons equation $-\Delta u + e^u(e^u-1) = \mu$ in cases where there is no solution for a given nonnegative finite measure $\mu$. Approximating $\mu$ by a sequence of nonnegative $L^1$ functions or finite…

We study systems of equations of the form X1 = f1(X1, ..., Xn), ..., Xn = fn(X1, ..., Xn), where each fi is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients that add up to 1. The least nonnegative solution, say mu, of such equation systems is…

Schubert polynomials form a basis of all polynomials and appear in the study of cohomology rings of flag manifolds. The vanishing problem for Schubert polynomials asks if a coefficient of a Schubert polynomial is zero. We give a tableau…

We consider abstract nonlinear equations of the form $A u = \lambda u + I'(u)$, where $A$ is a self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent on a Hilbert space $H$, $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ is a parameter, and $u \mapsto I'(u)$ is a…

Using classical results of Rogers bounding the $L^2$-norm of Siegel transforms, we give bounds on the heights of approximate integral solutions of quadratic equations and error terms in the quantiative Oppenheim theorem of…

Low-lying shell model states may be approximated accurately by a sum over products of proton and neutron states. The optimal factors are determined by a variational principle and result from the solution of rather low-dimensional eigenvalue…

Let K be a field and let M_n(K) denote the space of n x n matrices with entries in K. Let M be a subspace of M_n(K) of dimension d with the property that there are elements in M with non-zero determinant. Given a basis of M, we define the…

Using the steepest descent method of Deift-Zhou, we derive locally uniform asymptotic formulas for the Meixner polynomials. These include an asymptotic formula in a neighborhood of the origin, a result which as far as we are aware has not…
