We prove a simple identity relating the $k$th moment of the partition function $Z_N(\cdot)$ in the SK model to the $N$th moment of the partition function $Z_k(\cdot)$. As a corollary we find a characterisation of the limit $\lim_{N \to…

Berg, Christensen and Ressel prove that the closure of the cone of sums of squares in the ring of real polynomials in the topology induced by the $\ell_1$-norm is equal to the cone consisting of all polynomials which are non-negative on the…

Let $\mu$ be a given Borel measure on $\K\subseteq\R^n$ and let $y=(y_\alpha)$, $\alpha\in\N^n$, be a given sequence. We provide several conditions linking $y$ and the moment sequence $z=(z_\alpha)$ of $\mu$, for $y$ to be the moment…

We work in the setting of weighted pluripotential theory arising from polynomials associated to a convex body $P$ in $({\bf R}^+)^d$. We define the {\it logarithmic indicator function} on ${\bf C}^d$: $$H_P(z):=\sup_{ J\in P} \log |z^{…

We study an optimization problem in which the objective is given as a sum of logarithmic-polynomial functions. This formulation is motivated by statistical estimation principles such as maximum likelihood estimation, and by loss functions…

We show the existence of an exact mimicking network of $k^{O(\log k)}$ edges for minimum multicuts over a set of terminals in an undirected graph, where $k$ is the total capacity of the terminals, as well as a method for computing a…

T. M. Bisgaard proved that the $*$-algebra ${\bf C}[z,\overline{z},1/z\overline{z}]$ has the moment property, that is, each positive linear functional on this $*$-algebra is a moment functional. We generalize this result to polynomials in…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $\mathcal{K} := K(t)$ be the rational function field over $K$. For each $d \ge 2$, we consider the unicritical polynomial $f_d(z) := z^d + t \in \mathcal{K}[z]$, and…

We establish a criterion for the existence of a representing Radon measure for linear functionals defined on a unital commutative real algebra $A$, which we assume to be generated by a vector space $V$ endowed with a Hilbertian seminorm…

In this paper we give a complete solution of the following "polynomial moment problem" which arose about 10 years ago in connection with Poincare's center-focus problem. For a given polynomial P(z) to describe polynomials Q(z) orthogonal to…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and let $K$ be a compact subgroup of $G$. Let $\mu : G\longrightarrow\mathbb{C}\backslash\{0\}$ be a character of $G$. In this paper, we deal with the integral equations $$W_{\mu}(K):\;…

This paper introduces and develops the algebraic framework of moment polynomials, which are polynomial expressions in commuting variables and their formal mixed moments. Their positivity and optimization over probability measures supported…

We specialize Schm\"udgen's Positivstellensatz and its Putinar and Jacobi and Prestel refinement, to the case of a polynomial $f\in R[X,Y]+R[Y,Z]$, positive on a compact basic semi algebraic set $K$ described by polynomials in $R[X,Y]$ and…

We establish operator-valued versions of the earlier foundational factorization results for noncommutative polynomials due to Helton (Ann.~Math., 2002) and one of the authors (Linear Alg.~Appl., 2001). Specifically, we show that every…

We consider two types of the generalized Korteweg - de Vries equation, where the nonlinearity is given with or without absolute values, and, in particular, including the low powers of nonlinearity, an example of which is the Schamel…

Let G be a bounded simply connected domain and E be a regular compact subset of G with connected complement. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the Kolmogorov k-width, k=k(n), of the set of polynomials of degree at most n having the…

Lorentzian polynomials are a fascinating class of real polynomials with many applications. Their definition is specific to the nonnegative orthant. Following recent work, we examine Lorentzian polynomials on proper convex cones. For a…
