It is not commonly realized that the algebra of complex numbers can be used in an elegant way to represent the images of ordinary 3-dimensional figures, orthographically projected to the plane. We describe these ideas here, both using…
Extending the work of Freese, we further develop the theory of generalized trigonometric functions. In particular, we study to what extent the notion of polar form for the complex numbers may be generalized to arbitrary associative…
The analogue of polar coordinates in the Euclidean space, a polar decomposition in a metric space, if well-defined, can be very useful in dealing with integrals with respect to a sufficiently regular measure. In this note we handle the…
Orthogonal polynomials in two variables on cubic curves are considered, including the case of elliptic curves. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on a cubic curve, an explicit basis of orthogonal…
A new simple geometrical interpretation of complex numbers is presented. It differs from their usual interpretation as points in the complex plane. From the new point of view the complex numbers are rather operations on vectors than points.…
Several local elliptic coordinates are used to build a new polyelliptic coordinate system which is orthogonal and admits the separation of variables. Such coordinate systems can give the exact solutions of some unsolved problems in quantum…
A generalization of the polar coding scheme called mixed-kernels is introduced. This generalization exploits several homogeneous kernels over alphabets of different sizes. An asymptotic analysis of the proposed scheme shows that its…

Orthogonal polynomials on quadratic curves in the plane are studied. These include orthogonal polynomials on ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and two lines. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on any…
Given a hypersurface in the complex projective $n$-space we prove several known formulas for the degree of its polar map by purely algebro-geometric methods. Furthermore, we give formulas for the degree of its polar map in terms of the…
We evaluate binomial series with harmonic number coefficients, providing recursion relations, integral representations, and several examples. The results are of interest to analytic number theory, the analysis of algorithms, and…

For a projective hypersurface $X \subset \P^n$, the images of the polar maps of degree $k$ are studied. The cohomology class defined by these maps is calculated and classical results on dual varieties are presented as applications.
In this paper I present a kind of proof for classical Euclidean geometric problems which relies on both synthetic and analytic geometry. Using the elementary tools of polynomial algebra and multivariate calculus we manage to reduce the…
In this paper, we discuss some problems of elementary plane differential geometry and kinematics. Although the results are not new, the consistent use of complex-valued functions (plane curves) of a real variable (parameter) allows to…
Elliptic curves over finite fields with predefined conditions in the order are practically constructed using the theory of complex multiplication. The stage with longest calculations in this method reconstructs some polynomial with integer…
Convex polyhedra are the basis for several abstractions used in static analysis and computer-aided verification of complex and sometimes mission critical systems. For such applications, the identification of an appropriate…
We develop an essentially algebraic method to study biharmonic curves into an implicit surface. Although our method is rather general, it is especially suitable to study curves into surfaces defined by a polynomial equation: in particular,…
We show a possibility to apply certain philosophical concepts to the analysis of concrete mathematical structures. Such application gives a clear justification of topological and geometric properties of considered mathematical objects.
