The chromatic polynomial $P(G,x)$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ can be expressed as $\sum\limits_{i=1}^n(-1)^{n-i}a_{i}x^i$, where $a_i$ is interpreted as the number of broken-cycle free spanning subgraphs of $G$ with exactly $i$ components.…
We show that for all homogeneous polynomials $ f_{m}$ of degree $m$, in $d$ variables, and each $j = 1, \dots , d$, we have \begin{equation*} \left\langle x_{j}^{2}f_{m},f_{m}\right\rangle _{L^{2}\left( \mathbb{S}% ^{d-1}\right) } \geq…
Given n polynomials in n variables of respective degrees d_1,...,d_n, and a set of monomials of cardinality d_1...d_n, we give an explicit subresultant-based polynomial expression in the coefficients of the input polynomials whose…
A matrix \( A \) is called \emph{kernel partition regular} if, for every finite coloring of the natural numbers \( \mathbb{N} \), there exists a monochromatic solution to the equation \( A\vec{X} = 0 \). In 1933, Rado characterized such…
Under certain natural sufficient conditions on the sequence of uniformly bounded closed sets $E_k\subset\mathbb{R}$ of admissible coefficients, we construct a polynomial $P_n(x)=1+\sum_{k=1}^n\varepsilon_k x^k$, $\varepsilon_k\in E_k$, with…
The solution to the general univariate polynomial equation has been sought for centuries. It is well known there is no general solution in radicals for degrees five and above. The hyper-Catalan numbers $C[m_2,m_3,m_4,\ldots]$ count the ways…
Let $\binom{X}{h}$ be the collection of all $h$-subsets of an $n$-set $X\supseteq Y$. Given a coloring (partition) of a set $S\subseteq \binom{X}{h}$, we are interested in finding conditions under which this coloring is extendible to a…
The partial sums of a sequence ${\mathbf x} = x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_k$ of distinct non-identity elements of a group $(G,\cdot)$ are $s_0 = id_G$ and $s_j = \prod_{i=1}^j x_i$ for $0 < j \leq k$. If the partial sums are all different then…
In the 1970s Deuber introduced the notion of $(m,p,c)$-sets in $\mathbb{N}$ and showed that these sets are partition regular and contain all linear partition regular configurations in $\mathbb{N}$. In this paper we obtain enhancements and…
Given a finite quandle $Q$, we study the average number of $Q$-colorings of the closure of a random braid in $B_n$ as $n$ varies. In particular we show that this number coincides with some polynomial $P_Q\in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ for $n\gg 0$. The…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group with exponent $n$, and let $r$ be a positive integer. Let $A$ be a $k\times m$ matrix with integer entries. We show that if $A$ satisfies some natural conditions and $|G|$ is large enough then, for each…
Suppose that we have a finite colouring of the reals. What sumset-type structures can we hope to find in some colour class? One of our aims is to show that there is such a colouring for which no uncountable set has all of its pairwise sums…
For positive integers $k < n$ such that $k$ divides $n$, let $(n)^k_{\hom}$ be the set of homogeneous $k$-partitions of $\{1, \dots, n\}$, that is, the set of partitions of $\{1, \dots, n\}$ into $k$ classes of the same cardinality. In the…
Given an $n\times n$ array $M$ ($n\ge 7$), where each cell is colored in one of two colors, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a partition of $M$ into $n$ diagonals, each containing at least one cell of each…
Let $[a,b]$ denote the integers between $a$ and $b$ inclusive and, for a finite subset $X \subseteq \mathbb{Z}$, let the diameter of $X$ be equal to $\max(X)-\min(X)$. We write $X<_p\,Y$ provided $\max(X)<\min(Y)$. For a positive integer…
We will revisit a 1987 question of Rabbi Ehrenpreis. Among many things, we will provide an elementary injective proof that P_1(L,y,n)>=P_2(L,y,n) for any L,n>0 and any odd y>1 . Here, P_1(L,y,n) denotes the number of partitions of n into…
We study the complexity of representing polynomials as a sum of products of polynomials in few variables. More precisely, we study representations of the form $$P = \sum_{i = 1}^T \prod_{j = 1}^d Q_{ij}$$ such that each $Q_{ij}$ is an…
The method of separation of variables is significant, it has been applied to physics, engineering , chemistry and other fields. It allows to reduce the diffculity of problems by separating the variables from partial differential equation…
Let $b^{k}_{\ell,m}(n)$ denotes the number of $k-$colored partitions of $n$ into parts that are not multiples of $\ell$ or $m$. We establish several congruence relations for $b_{\ell,m}(n)$. For instance, for any nonnegative integer $n$…
A method for computing global minima of real multivariate polynomials based on semidefinite programming was developed by N. Z. Shor, J. B. Lasserre and P. A. Parrilo. The aim of this article is to extend a variant of their method to…
