The Iterative Rational Krylov Algorithm (IRKA) of [8] is an interpolatory model reduction approach to the optimal $\mathcal{H}_2$ approximation problem. Even though the method has been illustrated to show rapid convergence in various…

In this paper, we give a formula for normal reduction number of an integrally closed $\mathfrak m$-primary ideal of a $2$-dimensional normal local ring $(A,\mathfrak m)$ in terms of the geometric genus $p_g(A)$ of $A$. Also we compute the…

We compute the number of triangulations of a convex $k$-gon each of whose sides is subdivided by $r-1$ points. We find explicit formulas and generating functions, and we determine the asymptotic behaviour of these numbers as $k$ and/or $r$…

We establish formulae for the part due to torsion of the equivariant K-homology of all the Bianchi groups (PSL\_2 of the imaginary quadratic integers), in terms of elementary number-theoretic quantities. To achieve this, we introduce a…

We describe normal forms and minimal models of Picard curves, discussing various arithmetic aspects of these. We determine all so-called special Picard curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with good reduction outside 2 and 3, and use this to determine…

We describe an algorithm to prove the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectural formula for any given elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers of analytic rank zero or one. With computer assistance we have proved the formula for 16714…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $D$ be a $p$-divisible group over $k$. Let $n_D$ be the smallest non-negative integer for which the following statement holds: if $C$ is a $p$-divisible group over $k$ of…

In this article, we investigate the rank index of projective curves $\mathscr{C} \subset \mathbb{P}^r$ of degree $r+1$ when $\mathscr{C} = \pi_p (\tilde{\mathscr{C}})$ for the standard rational normal curve $\tilde{\mathscr{C}} \subset…

The splitting number of a plane irreducible curve for a Galois cover is effective to distinguish the embedded topologies of plane curves. In this paper, we define a connected number of any plane curve for a Galois cover whose branch divisor…

We compute rho-invariant for iterated torus knots $K$ for the standard representation of the knot group given by abelianisation. For algebraic knots, this invariant turns out to be very closely related to an invariant of a plane curve…

Let $R$ be a noetherian commutative ring. Of great interest is the question whether one can find an explicit integer $k$ such that $\overline{I^{k+n}}\subseteq I^n$ for each ideal $I$ and each integer $n\geq 1$ (the notation…

The Ramsey number r(K_3,Q_n) is the smallest integer N such that every red-blue colouring of the edges of the complete graph K_N contains either a red n-dimensional hypercube, or a blue triangle. Almost thirty years ago, Burr and Erd\H{o}s…

Let $R=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, a graded algebra $S=R/I$ satisfies $N_{k,p}$ if $I$ is generated in degree $k$, and the graded minimal resolution is linear the first $p$ steps, and the $k$-index of $S$ is the largest $p$ such that $S$…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a family of axis-parallel rectangles in the plane. The transversal number $\tau(\mathcal{R})$ is the minimum number of points needed to pierce all the rectangles. The independence number $\nu(\mathcal{R})$ is the…

We are interested in the quantity $\rho$(q, g) defined as the smallest positive integer such that r $\ge$ $\rho$(q, g) implies that any absolutely irreducible smooth projective algebraic curve defined over F q of genus g has a closed point…

Irreducible skew-Berger algebras $\g\subset\gl(n,\Co)$, i.e. algebras spanned by the images of the linear maps $R:\odot^2\Co^n\to\g$ satisfying the Bianchi identity, are classified. These Lie algebras can be interpreted as irreducible…

The Borsuk number of a set S of diameter d >0 in Euclidean n-space is the smallest value of m such that S can be partitioned into m sets of diameters less than d. Our aim is to generalize this notion in the following way: The k-fold Borsuk…

Fix a non-square integer $k\neq 0$. We show that the number of curves $E_B:y^2=x^3+kB^2$ containing an integral point, where $B$ ranges over positive integers less than $N$, is bounded by $O_k(N(\log N)^{-\frac{1}{2}+\epsilon})$. In…
