This paper addresses the problem of decomposing a numerical semigroup into m-irreducible numerical semigroups. The problem originally stated in algebraic terms is translated, introducing the so called Kunz-coordinates, to resolve a series…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, let X=P^1\times A^N and let f be a rational endomorphism of X given by (x,y)--->(g(x), A(x)y), where g is a rational function, while A is an N-by-N matrix with entries in k(x). We…

We settle the equivalence between the problem of hitting a polyhedral set by the orbit of a linear map and the intersection of a regular language and a language of permutations of binary words (the permutation filter realizability problem).…

We estimate the frequency of polynomial iterations which falls in a given multiplicative subgroup of a finite field of $p$ elements. We also give a lower bound on the size of the subgroup which is multiplicatively generated by the first $N$…

By the Riemann-mapping theorem, one can bijectively map the interior of an $n$-gon $P$ to that of another $n$-gon $Q$ conformally. However, (the boundary extension of) this mapping need not necessarily map the vertices of $P$ to those $Q$.…

To each variety $X$ and a nonnegative integer $m$, there is a space $X_m$ over $X$, called the jet scheme of $X$ of order $m$, parametrizing $m$-th jets on $X$. Its fiber over a singular point of $X$ is called a singular fiber. For a…

Let $K$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero. We study, for fixed $m \geq 2$, the rational functions $\phi$ defined over $K$ that have a $K$-orbit containing infinitely many distinct $m$th powers. For $m \geq 5$ we show the…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field that is complete with respect to a non-Archimedean absolute value, and let $\varphi\in K(z)$ have degree $d\geq 2$. We characterize maps for which the minimal resultant of an iterate $\varphi^n$ is…

Given a generic semidefinite program, specified by matrices with rational entries, each coordinate of its optimal solution is an algebraic number. We study the degree of the minimal polynomials of these algebraic numbers. Geometrically,…

For an $n \times n$ matrix $M$ with entries in $\mathbb{Z}_2$ denote by $R(M)$ the minimal rank of all the matrices obtained by changing some numbers on the main diagonal of $M$. We prove that for each non-negative integer $k$ there is a…

In this paper we consider a fragment of the first-order theory of the real numbers that includes systems of equations of continuous functions in bounded domains, and for which all functions are computable in the sense that it is possible to…

Inspired by a twist maps theorem of Mather we study recurrent invariant sets that are ordered like rigid rotation under the action of the lift of a bimodal circle map $g$ to the $k$-fold cover. For each irrational in the interior of the…

We discuss the relationship between quaternion algebras and quadratic forms with a focus on computational aspects. Our basic motivating problem is to determine if a given algebra of rank 4 over a commutative ring R embeds in the 2x2-matrix…

Considering all possible paths that a natural number can take following the rules of the algorithm proposed in the Collatz conjecture we construct a graph that can be interpreted as an infinite network that contemplates all possible paths…

An infinite set is orbit-finite if, up to permutations of the underlying structure of atoms, it has only finitely many elements. We study a generalisation of linear programming where constraints are expressed by an orbit-finite system of…

Contour integrals of rational functions over ${\cal M}_{0,n}$, the moduli space of $n$-punctured spheres, have recently appeared at the core of the tree-level S-matrix of massless particles in arbitrary dimensions. The contour is determined…

We study the functorial and growth properties of closed orbits for maps. By viewing an arbitrary sequence as the orbit-counting function for a map, iterates and Cartesian products of maps define new transformations between integer…

The unique real root of cos(x) = x, recently referred to as the Dottie number, is expressed as an iteral of cosine. Using the derivatives of iterals, it is shown why this number is achieved starting from any real number, when the iterates…

We explore an algorithm for approximating roots of integers, discuss its motivation and derivation, and analyze its convergence rates with varying parameters and inputs. We also perform comparisons with established methods for approximating…

In a fundamental paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 325 (1997)] Grover showed how a quantum computer can find a single marked object in a database of size N by using only O(N^{1/2}) queries of the oracle that identifies the object. His result was…
