Residuation theory concerns the study of partially ordered algebraic structures, most often monoids, equipped with a weak inverse for the monoidal operator. One of its area of application has been constraint programming, whose key…
We consider residue structures $R/G$ where $(G,+)$ is an additive subgroup of a ring $(R,+,\cdot)$, not necessarily an ideal. Special instances include Krasner's construction of quotient hyperfields, and Pumpluen's construction of…
In his G\'eom\'etrie (1637) Descartes introduces the algebra of segments. This is a fundamental step in the mathematical treatment of variable quantities before the creation of differential calculus. It is an algebra with symbols but…
This paper constitutes a first attempt to do analysis with skew polynomials. Precisely, our main objective is to develop a theory of residues for skew rational functions (which are, by definition, the quotients of two skew polynomials). We…
A binomial residue is a rational function defined by a hypergeometric integral whose kernel is singular along binomial divisors. Binomial residues provide an integral representation for rational solutions of A-hypergeometric systems of…
This is a translation of Euler's Latin paper "De fractionibus continuis observationes" into English. In this paper Euler describes his theory of continued fractions. He teaches, how to transform series into continued fractions, solves the…
Effect algebras and pseudoeffect algebras were introduced by Foulis, Bennett, Dvurecenskij and Vetterlein as so-called quantum structures which serve as an algebraic axiomatization of the logic of quantum mechanics. A natural question…
We consider a problem of P. Erdos, A. M. Odlyzko and A. Sarkozy about the representation of residue classes modulo m by products of two not too large primes. While it seems that even the Extended Riemann Hypothesis is not powerful enough to…
We propose a novel foundation for calculus that focuses on the notion of approximations while avoiding the use of limits altogether. Continuity is defined as approximation at a point, while differentiability is defined as approximation with…
Complete residue systems play an integral role in abstract algebra and number theory, and a description is typically found in any number theory textbook. This note provides a concise overview of complete residue systems, including a robust…
Classical applications of Galois theory concern algebraic numbers and algebraic functions. Still, the night before his duel, Galois wrote that his last mathematical thoughts had been directed toward applying his "theory of ambiguity to…
This book is an introductory course to basic commutative algebra with a particular emphasis on finitely generated projective modules. We adopt the constructive point of view, with which all existence theorems have an explicit algorithmic…
Summability has been a central object of study in difference algebra over the past half-century. It serves as a cornerstone of algebraic methods to study linear recurrences over various fields of coefficients and with respect to various…
This book is an introductory course to basic commutative algebra with a particular emphasis on finitely generated projective modules, which constitutes the algebraic version of the vector bundles in differential geometry. We adopt the…
In La G\'eom\'etrie, Descartes proposed a balance between geometric constructions and symbolic manipulation with the introduction of suitable ideal machines. In modern terms, that is a balance between analog and symbolic computation.…
This is a survey of a connection between the distribution of certain power residues modulo $p$, $p$ a prime, and relative class numbers. The focus lies on quadratic residues and sixth power residues. Dirichlet's class number formula yields…
P. Aluffi introduced in [1] a new graded algebra in order to conveniently express characteristic cycles in the theory of singular varieties. This algebra is attached to a surjective ring homomorphism $A\surjects B$ by taking a suitable…
Suppose that some harmonic analysis arguments have been invoked to show that the indicator function of a set of residue classes modulo some integer has a large Fourier coefficient. To get information about the structure of the set of…
Arithmetic groups are groups of matrices with integral entries. We shall first discuss their origin in number theory (Gauss, Minkowski) and their role in the "reduction theory of quadratic forms". Then we shall describe these groups by…
In this paper we complete our understanding of the role played by the limiting (or residue) function in the context of mod-Gaussian convergence. The question about the probabilistic interpretation of such functions was initially raised by…
