In the paper, we introduce a matrix method to constructively determine spaces of polynomial solutions (in general, multiplied by exponentials) to a system of constant coefficient linear PDE's with polynomial (multiplied by exponentials)…
We obtain a nontrivial bound on the number of solutions to the equation $$ A^{x_1} + \ldots + A^{x_\nu} = A^{x_{\nu+1}} + \ldots + A^{x_{2\nu}}, \quad 1 \le x_1, \ldots,x_{2\nu} \le \tau, $$ with a fixed $n\times n$ matrix $A$ over a finite…
The study of the well-known partition function $p(n)$ counting the number of solutions to $n = a_{1} + \dots + a_{\ell}$ with integers $1 \leq a_{1} \leq \dots \leq a_{\ell}$ has a long history in combinatorics. In this paper, we study a…
Given a polynomial with integral coefficients, one can inquire about the possible residues it can take in its image modulo a prime $p$. The sum over the distinct residues can sometimes be computed independent of the prime $p$; for example,…
Many statistics of roots of random polynomials have been studied in the literature, but not much is known on the concentration aspect. In this note we present a systematic study of this question, aiming towards nearly optimal bounds to some…
We provide bounds on the size of polynomial differential equations obtained by executing closure properties for D-algebraic functions. While it is easy to obtain bounds on the order of these equations, it requires some more work to derive…
We refine and extend quantitative bounds, on the fraction of nonnegative polynomials that are sums of squares, to the multihomogenous case.
The aim of this work is to establish congruences $\left( \operatorname{mod}p^{2}\right) $ involving the trinomial coefficients $\binom{np-1}{p-1}_{2}$ and $\binom{np-1}{\left( p-1\right)/2}_{2}$ arising from the expansion of the powers of…
We use character sum estimates to give a bound on the least square-full primitive root modulo a prime. Specifically, we show that there is a square-full primitive root mod $p$ less than $p^{2/3 + 3/(4 \sqrt{e})+ \epsilon}$, and we give some…
We investigate border ranks of twisted powers of polynomials and smoothability of symmetric powers of algebras. We prove that the latter are smoothable. For the former, we obtain upper bounds for the border rank in general and prove that…
Let $f(x)=x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_0$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients. For a prime $p$ for which $f(x)$ is fully splitting modulo $ p$, we consider $n$ roots $r_i$ of $f(x)\equiv 0\bmod p$ with $0 \le r_1\le\dots\le…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements with characteristic $p$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the unramified extension of the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we investigate…
A popular method in combinatorial optimization is to express polytopes P, which may potentially have exponentially many facets, as solutions of linear programs that use few extra variables to reduce the number of constraints down to a…
The complexity of computing the solutions of a system of multivariate polynomial equations by means of Groebner bases computations is upper bounded by a function of the solving degree. In this paper, we discuss how to rigorously estimate…
We study the probability distribution of the number of common zeros of a system of $m$ random $n$-variate polynomials over a finite commutative ring $R$. We compute the expected number of common zeros of a system of polynomials over $R$.…
We obtain new bounds, pointwisely and on average, for Dedekind sums $\mathsf{s}(\lambda,p)$ modulo a prime $p$ with $\lambda$ of small multiplicative order $d$ modulo $p$. Assuming the infinitude of Mersenne primes, the range of our results…
The $p$-set, which is in a simple analytic form, is well distributed in unit cubes. The well-known Weil's exponential sum theorem presents an upper bound of the exponential sum over the $p$-set. Based on the result, one shows that the…
In their study of a binomial sum related to Wolstenholme's theorem, Chamberland and Dilcher prove that the corresponding sequence modulo primes $p$ satisfies congruences that are analogous to Lucas' theorem for the binomial coefficients…
Various simplicial complexes can be associated with a graph. Box complexes form an important families of such simplicial complexes and are especially useful for providing lower bounds on the chromatic number of the graph via some of their…
We provide polynomial upper bounds on the size of a shortest solution for quadratic equations in a free group. A similar bound is given for parametric solutions in the description of solutions sets of quadratic equations in a free group.
