We study the class of polynomials that map a local field (i.e., the completion of a number field at a non-Archimedean place) into the subset of its $p$-th powers, where $p$ is the residue characteristic of the field in question. We present…
We obtain the strong asymptotics of polynomials $p_n(\lambda)$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$, orthogonal with respect to measures in the complex plane of the form $$ e^{-N(|\lambda|^{2s}-t\lambda^s-\overline{t\lambda}^s)}dA(\lambda), $$ where $s$…
Sum of Squares programming has been used extensively over the past decade for the stability analysis of nonlinear systems but several questions remain unanswered. In this paper, we show that exponential stability of a polynomial vector…
In this paper the asymptotic behavior of trajectories of discontinuous vector fields is studied. The vector fields are defined on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ and the confinement of trajectories on some suitable compact set $K$…
We prove two recent conjectures of Bourn and Erickson (2023) regarding the real-rootedness of a certain family of polynomials $N_n(t)$ as well as the sum of their coefficients. These polynomials arise as the numerators of generating…
Suppose $v(x,y):\mathbb C\rightarrow \mathbb R$ is an entire harmonic polynomial with no critical points in the right half plane. Let $z_1, z_2\in\mathbb C$ lie on a level set of $v$ , and assume ${\rm Re}(z_2)>{\rm Re}(z_1)\geq0$. We give…
We construct a model complete and o-minimal expansion of the field of real numbers such that, for any planar analytic vector field X and any isolated, non-resonant hyperbolic singularity p of X, a transition map for X at p is definable in…
A well-known problem in the theory of polynomials over finite fields is the characterization of minimal value set polynomials (MVSPs) over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $q = p^n$. These are the nonconstant polynomials $F \in…
We introduce the notions of $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point and weak $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point. We show that for a group of unitary matrices even the existence of a nontrivial weak $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point for…
An $n$ dimensional minimal submanifold $\Sigma$ of $\R^{n+m}$ is called non-parametric if $\Sigma$ can be represented as the graph of a vector-valued function $f:D\subset \R^n \mapsto \R^m$. This note provides a sufficient condition for the…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of a family of multiple orthogonal polynomials that is naturally linked with the normal matrix model with a monomial potential of arbitrary degree $d+1$. The polynomials that we investigate are…
We study the r-th elementary symmetric polynomial in $n$ variables with 2<r<n. There are two kinds of linear transformations on the parameter space that leave this polynomial invariant: Namely, any permutation of the variables and…
Let $\Psi_n(x)$ be the monic polynomial having precisely all non-primitive $n$th roots of unity as its simple zeros. One has $\Psi_n(x)=(x^n-1)/\Phi_n(x)$, with $\Phi_n(x)$ the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial. The coefficients of $\Psi_n(x)$…
We consider the ordinary differential equations defined by a trigonometric polynomial field, we prove that any solution $x$ admits a "rotation vector" $\rho\in \mathbb{R}^n$. More precisely, the function $t\mapsto x(t)-\rho t$ is bounded on…
This paper complements the recent investigation of \cite{DM} on the asymptotic behavior of polynomials orthogonal over the interior of an analytic Jordan curve $L$. We study the specific case of $L=\{z= w-1 +(w-1)^{-1},\ |w|=R\}$, for some…
This note is an introduction to the properties of stable polynomials in several variables with real or complex coefficients. These polynomials are defined in terms of where the polynomial is non-vanishing. We do not cover well-known topics…
Suppose that $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ has positive upper density, \[ \limsup_{|I| \to \infty} \frac{|A \cap I|}{|I|} = \delta > 0,\] and $P(t) \in \mathbb{R}[t]$ is a polynomial with no constant or linear term, or more generally a non-flat…
We prove that for any norm |*| in the d-dimensional real vector space V and for any odd n>0 there is a non-negative polynomial p(x), x in V of degree 2n such that p^{1/2n}(x) < |x| < c(n,d) p^{1/2n}(x), where c(n,d)={n+d-1 choose n}^{1/2n}.…
