Consideration of a question of E. R. Berlekamp led Carlitz, Roselle, and Scoville to give a combinatorial interpretation of the entries of certain matrices of determinant~1 in terms of lattice paths. Here we generalize this result by…

This paper introduces a framework to study discrete optimization problems which are parametric in the following sense: their constraint matrices correspond to matrices over the ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of polynomials in one variable. We…

We show factorization of polynomials in one variable over the tropical semiring is in general NP-complete, either if all coefficients are finite, or if all are either 0 or infinity (Boolean case). We give algorithms for the factorization…

Matrix polynomials given in an orthogonal basis are considered. Following the ideas of Mackey et al. "Vector spaces of Linearizations for Matrix Polynomials" (2006), the vec- tor spaces, called M1(P), M2(P) and DM(P), of potential…

For a field $E$ of characteristic different from $2$ and cohomological $2$-dimension one, quadratic forms over the rational function field $E(X)$ are studied. A characterisation in terms of polynomials in $E[X]$ is obtained for having that…

A transversal matroid $M$ of rank $r$ on $[n]$ can be associated to a family of binary matrices corresponding to different presentations of $M$. We describe those matrices which arise from unique maximal presentations of size $r$- giving a…

We study the polynomial algebra (over a ring containing the rationals) in an n by m matrix of variables, and subject to the relation that says that the product of any two variables in the same column is zero. We show that the sub-algebra of…

The entropic discriminant is a non-negative polynomial associated to a matrix. It arises in contexts ranging from statistics and linear programming to singularity theory and algebraic geometry. It describes the complex branch locus of the…

In this paper we consider self-dual NRT-codes, that is, self-dual codes in the metric space endowed with the Niederreiter-Rosenbloom-Tsfasman (NRT-metric). We use polynomial invariant theory to describe the shape enumerator of a binary…

We consider the symmetric group $S_n$-module of the polynomial ring with $m$ sets of $n$ commuting variables and $m'$ sets of $n$ anti-commuting variables and show that the multiplicity of an irreducible indexed by the partition $\lambda$…

A polynomial ring with rational coefficients is an irreducible representation of Lie algebras of endomorphisms of exterior powers of a infinite countable dimensional $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space. We give an explicit description of it, using…

Let $R$ be a ring and $P$ a prime ideal of $R.$ In this paper, we establish some commutativity criteria for the factor ring $R/P$ in terms of derivations of $R$ satisfying some algebraic identities involving a new kind of involution in…

We investigate rank revealing factorizations of $m \times n$ polynomial matrices $P(\lambda)$ into products of three, $P(\lambda) = L(\lambda) E(\lambda) R(\lambda)$, or two, $P(\lambda) = L(\lambda) R(\lambda)$, polynomial matrices. Among…

For an $S$-valued function $f$ of $m \geq 1$ variables we consider the dynamical process in which the output $f(\overline{v})$ replaces exactly one entry of the input $\overline{v} \in S^m$ at each step. This can be viewed as a special case…

A homogeneous polynomial S(x_1, ..., x_n) of degree r in n variables posesses a discriminant D_{n|r}(S), which vanishes if and only if the system of equations dS/dx_i = 0 has non-trivial solutions. We give an explicit formula for…

Using the $det^{S^2}$ map from [5], we introduce the notion of $S^2$-rank of a matrix of type $d\times \frac{s(s-1)}{2}$. As an application, we show that the conditional probability matrix associated to two random variables has the…
