Let R be an integral domain and let f(X) be a nonzero polynomial in R[X]. The content of f is the ideal c(f) generated by the coefficients of f. The polynomial f(X) is called Gaussian if c(fg)=c(f)c(g) for all g(X) in R[X]. It is well known…

We study the question up to which power an irreducible integer-valued polynomial that is not absolutely irreducible can factor uniquely. For example, for integer-valued polynomials over principal ideal domains with square-free denominator,…

Let K be F_q((T)), or more generally any field of characteristic p equipped with a valuation having a finite residue field of q elements. Then a polynomial f(x) in K[x] having k+1 nonzero coefficients has at most q^k distinct zeros in K. We…

For an arbitrary finite set S of natural numbers greater 1, we construct an integer-valued polynomial f, whose set of lengths in Int(Z) is S. The set of lengths of f is the set of all natural numbers n, such that f has a factorization as a…

Interpolation theory for complex polynomials is well understood. In the non-commutative quaternionic setting, the polynomials can be evaluated "on the left" and "on the right". If the interpolation problem involves interpolation conditions…

We study the topological zeta function Z_{top,f}(s) associated to a polynomial f with complex coefficients. This is a rational function in one variable and we want to determine the numbers that can occur as a pole of some topological zeta…

We evaluate the number of monic polynomials (of arbitrary degree $N$) the zeros of which equal their coefficients when these are allowed to take arbitrary complex values. In the following, we call polynomials with this property {\em…

In this paper we study admissible polynomials. We establish an estimate for the number of admissible polynomials of degree $n$ with coeffients $a_i$ satisfying $0\leq a_i\leq H$ for a fixed $H$, for $i=0,1,2, \ldots, n-1$. In particular,…

The nodes of certain minimal cubature rule are real common zeros of a set of orthogonal polynomials of degree $n$. They often consist of a well distributed set of points and interpolation polynomials based on them have desired convergence…

Vanishing polynomials are polynomials over a ring which output $0$ for all elements in the ring. In this paper, we study the ideal of vanishing polynomials over specific types of rings, along with the closely related ring of polynomial…

A polynomial $p\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ is a divisor of some polynomial $0\neq f\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ with non-negative coefficients if and only if $p$ does not have a positive real root. The lowest possible degree of such $f$ for a given $p$ is known…

The injective polynomial modules for a general linear group $G$ of degree $n$ are labelled by the partitions with at most $n$ parts. Working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, we consider the question of which…

In a commutative ring $R$ with unity, given an ideal $I$ of $R$, Anderson and Badawi in 2011 introduced the invariant $\omega(I)$, which is the minimal integer $n$ for which $I$ is an $n$-absorbing ideal of $R$. In the specific case that $R…

For a nonzero ideal I of C[x_1,...,x_n], with 0 in supp I, a generalization of a conjecture of Igusa - Denef - Loeser predicts that every pole of its topological zeta function is a root of its Bernstein-Sato polynomial. However, typically…

For a given ideal I in K[x_1,...,x_n,y_1,...,y_m] in a polynomial ring with n+m variables, we want to find all elements that can be written as f-g for some f in K[x_1,...,x_n] and some g in K[y_1,...,y_m], i.e., all elements of I that…

Let $K$ be a number field and $f_1,\ldots,f_s\in K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ forms of odd degrees. In 1957, Birch proved that if $n$ is sufficiently large then the forms always have a nontrivial zero in $K^n$. Apart from some small degrees, the…

Let ${\mathcal B}=\{b_i \}_{i=1}^\infty$ be a fixed sequence of pairwise distinct elements of a number field $k$. Given the integers $2\leq s \leq r$, assuming a quantitative version of Vojta's conjecture on the bounded degree algebraic…

We consider properties of polynomials with coefficients in division rings. A theorem on the decomposition of a polynomial with coefficients in an arbitrary division ring is obtained. It is shown that if a non-central element is not a root…

For univariate polynomials over arbitrary field the degree gives an upper bound on the number of roots (factor theorem) and as a related result for any finite point-set one can construct a polynomial of degree equal to the cardinality…
