We obtain computational hardness results for f-vectors of polytopes by exhibiting reductions of the problems DIVISOR and SEMI-PRIME TESTABILITY to problems on f-vectors of polytopes. Further, we show that the corresponding problems for…

The inverse of the star-discrepancy problem asks for point sets $P_{N,s}$ of size $N$ in the $s$-dimensional unit cube $[0,1]^s$ whose star-discrepancy $D^\ast(P_{N,s})$ satisfies $$D^\ast(P_{N,s}) \le C \sqrt{s/N},$$ where $C> 0$ is a…

For two sets $A$ and $M$ of positive integers and for a positive integer $n$, let $p(n,A,M)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in $A$ and multiplicities in $M$, that is, the number of representations of $n$ in the form…

In this paper, I have proved that for a class of polynomial differential systems of degree n+1 ( where n is an arbitrary positive integer) the composition conjecture is true. I give the sufficient and necessary conditions for these…

Let $p_1,\dots,p_d$ be integral polynomials vanishing at $0$. It was asked by Bergelson and Hindman whenever $A$ is large, whether the set $\{(m,n)\in \mathbb{N}^2:m+p_1(n),m+p_2(n),\dots,m+p_d(n)\in A\}$ be large in the same sense. In this…

Let $b$ be an integer greater than or equal to $2$. For any integer $n\in \left[b^{\lambda-1}, b^{\lambda}-1\right]$, we denote by $R_\lambda (n)$ the reverse of $n$ in base $b$, obtained by reversing the order of the digits of $n$. We…

We obtain a small improvement of Gallagher's larger sieve and we extend it to higher dimensions. We also obtain two interesting upper bounds for the number of solutions to polynomial congruences.

Let A={a_s(mod n_s)}_{s=0}^k be a system of residue classes. With the help of cyclotomic fields we obtain a theorem which unifies several previously known results concerning system A. In particular, we show that if every integer lies in…

Let $p_n$ denote the $n$th prime and $g_n:=p_{n+1}-p_n$ the $n$th prime gap. We demonstrate the existence of infinitely many values of $n$ for which $g_n>g_{n+1}>\cdots>g_{n+m}$ with $m\gg \log\log\log n$ and similarly for the reversed…

Let $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ be a number field. Using techniques of discrete analysis, we prove that for definable sets $X$ in $\mathbb{R}_{\exp}$ of dimension at most $2$ a conjecture of Wilkie about the density of rational points is…

We provide a new algorithm for the treatment of inverse problems which combines the traditional SVD inversion with an appropriate thresholding technique in a well chosen new basis. Our goal is to devise an inversion procedure which has the…

We derive sharp, explicit constants in inverse trace inequalities for polynomial functions belonging to $\mathbb{P}_p(T)$ (polynomial space with total degree $p$) that are orthogonal to the lower-order subspace $\mathbb{P}_n(T)$, $n\leq p$,…

The multivariable autoregressive filter problem asks for a polynomial $p(z)=p(z_1, \ldots , z_d)$ without roots in the closed $d$-disk based on prescribed Fourier coefficients of its spectral density function $1/|p(z)|^2$. The conditions…

We present a general framework to study uniqueness, stability and reconstruction for infinite-dimensional inverse problems when only a finite-dimensional approximation of the measurements is available. For a large class of inverse problems…

We consider two number-theoretic problems arising from Fuglede's spectral set conjecture: characterizing finite sets that tile integers, and finding polynomials with (0,1) coefficients whose roots have a certain multiplicative structure. We…

We show that for every large enough integer $N$, there exists an $N$-point subset of $L_1$ such that for every $D>1$, embedding it into $\ell_1^d$ with distortion $D$ requires dimension $d$ at least $N^{\Omega(1/D^2)}$, and that for every…

Let $\mathcal{F}=\{f_1,\ldots,f_R\}$ be a family of forms of odd degrees at most $d$ in $s$ variables. We study the solutions to the system $f_1(\mathbf{x})=\ldots=f_R(\mathbf{x})=0$ of the form $x_i=y_ip_i$ with $|y_i|\leq Y_\mathcal{F}$…

We consider absolutely irreducible polynomials $f \in Z[x,y]$ with $\deg_x(f)=m$, $\deg_y(f)=n$ and height $H$. We show that for any prime $p$ with $p>c_{mn} H^{2mn+n-1}$ the reduction $f \bmod p$ is also absolutely irreducible. Furthermore…

A central problem in discrepancy theory is the challenge of evenly distributing points $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_n \right\}$ in $[0,1]^d$. Suppose a set is so regular that for some $\varepsilon> 0$ and all $y \in [0,1]^d$ the sub-region $[0,y]…

Given a set of integers, one can easily construct the set of their pairwise distances. We consider the inverse problem: given a set of pairwise distances, find the integer set which realizes the pairwise distance set. This problem arises in…
