Replacing the usual notion of quotient sets by the notion of orbiquotient sets we obtain a generalization of P\'olya theory. The key ingredient of our extended theory is the definition of the orbicycle index polynomial which we compute in…

We consider the problem of minimizing a fixed-degree polynomial over the standard simplex. This problem is well known to be NP-hard, since it contains the maximum stable set problem in combinatorial optimization as a special case. In this…

Some properties and relations satisfied by the polynomial solutions of a bispectral problem are studied. Given a finite order differential operator, under certain restrictions, its polynomial eigenfunctions are explicitly obtained, as well…

We use linear algebraic methods to obtain general results about linear operators on a space of polynomials that we apply to the operators associated with a polynomial sequence by the monomiality property. We show that all such operators are…

The majorization order on $\RR^n$ induces a natural partial ordering on the space of univariate hyperbolic polynomials of degree $n$. We characterize all linear operators on polynomials that preserve majorization, and show that it is…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ and $\mathcal{F}$ be symmetrically $\Delta$-normed (in particular, quasi-normed) operator spaces affiliated with semifinite von Neumann algebras $\mathcal{M}_1$ and $\mathcal{M}_2$, respectively. We establish a…

We prove that the scalar and $2\times 2$ matrix differential operators which preserve the simplest scalar and vector-valued polynomial modules in two variables have a fundamental Lie algebraic structure. Our approach is based on a general…

We prove a version of the fundamental theorems of Morse Theory in the setting of finite spaces or partially ordered sets. By using these results we extend Forman's discrete Morse theory to more general cell complexes and derive the…

We introduce the notion of difference equation defined on a structured set. The symmetry group of the structure determines the set of difference operators. All main notions in the theory of difference equations are introduced as invariants…

Let L be a linear differential operator with coefficients in some differential field k of characteristic zero with algebraically closed field of constants. Let k^a be the algebraic closure of k. For a solution y, Ly=0, we determine the…

After reconsidering the theorem of continuity of the roots of a polynomial in terms of its coefficients in the deformation framework, we study the stability of the greater common divisor of two polynomials compared to perturbations on their…

It is known (see \cite[Br\"and\'en, Lemma 2.7]{B10}) that a necessary condition for $T:=\sum Q_k(x) D^k$ to be hyperbolicity preserving is that $Q_k(x)$ and $Q_{k-1}(x)$ have interlacing zeros. We characterize all quadratic linear…

This paper is devoted to the study of general (Laurent) polynomial modifications of moment functionals on the unit circle, i.e., associated with hermitian Toeplitz matrices. We present a new approach which allows us to study polynomial…

We establish a version of the first Noether Theorem, according to which the (equivalence classes of) conserved quantities of given Euler-Lagrange equations in several independent variables are in one-to-one correspondence with the…

In the present paper we answer a question raised by J. Borcea and P. Branden and give a description of the class of operators preserving roots in open circular domains, i.e., in images of the open upper half-plane under the Mobius…

We refine a technique used in a paper by Schur on real-rooted polynomials. This amounts to an extension of a theorem of Wagner on Hadamard products of Toeplitz matrices. We also apply our results to polynomials for which the Neggers-Stanley…

An analogue of the Alexandrov-Zeeman theorem, based on hyperboloid preservation, as opposed to light cone preservation, is provided. This characterizes exactly the Poincar\'e group, as opposed to the Poincar\'e group extended by dilations.…
