Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n,$ where the coefficients $a_j,$ $j \in \{0,1,2,\cdots n\},$ may be complex. We impose some restriction on the coefficients of the real part of the given polynomial…

We prove new formulas and congruences for $p(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ parts and $q(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ distinct parts. Also, we give lower and upper bounds for the density of the set…

We attach to normalized (non-vanishing) arithmetic functions $g$ and $h$ recursively defined polynomials. Let $P_0^{g,h}(x):=1$. Then \begin{equation} P_n^{g,h}(x) := \frac{x}{h(n)} \sum_{k=1}^{n} g(k) \, P_{n-k}^{g,h}(x). \end{equation}…

A number field $K$ is called \emph{monogenic} if its ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}_K$ can be expressed as a simple ring extension $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]$ for some $\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}_K$. A monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$…

In a convex n-gon, let d[1] > d[2] > ... denote the set of all distances between pairs of vertices, and let m[i] be the number of pairs of vertices at distance d[i] from one another. Erdos, Lovasz, and Vesztergombi conjectured that m[1] +…

A function g, with domain the natural numbers, is a quasi-polynomial if there exists a period m and polynomials p_0,p_1,...,p_{m-1} such that g(t)=p_i(t) for t=i mod m. Quasi-polynomials classically -- and "reasonably" -- appear in Ehrhart…

Given a univariate polynomial f(x) over a ring R, we examine when we can write f(x) as g(h(x)) where g and h are polynomials of degree at least 2. We answer two questions of Gusic regarding when the existence of such g and h over an…

We prove the Goldbach Conjecture using p-adic analysis and algebraic methods, requiring no knowledge of prime gaps or distribution by showing counterexamples exist if and only if certain polynomials have integer solutions. Assuming, for the…

Given $k\in N$, a nonnegative function $f\in C^r[a,b]$, $r\ge 0$, an arbitrary finite collection of points $\big\{\alpha_i\big\}_{i\in J} \subset [a,b]$, and a corresponding collection of nonnegative integers $\big\{m_i\big\}_{i\in J}$ with…

In this expository paper we collect some simple facts about analogues of Pascals triangle where the entries count subsets of the integers with an even or odd sum and show that they are related to Rogers-Szego polynomials. In particular we…

A multivariate polynomial $p(x)=p(x_1,...,x_n)$ is sos-convex if its Hessian $H(x)$ can be factored as $H(x)= M^T(x) M(x)$ with a possibly nonsquare polynomial matrix $M(x)$. It is easy to see that sos-convexity is a sufficient condition…

Let H(N) denote the set of all polynomials with positive integer coefficients which have their zeros in the open left half-plane. We are looking for polynomials in H(N) whose largest coefficients are as small as possible and also for…

Let $M$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^k$. It is an important question in the theory of linear inequalities to estimate the minimal number $h=h(M)$ such that every system of linear inequalities which is infeasible over $M$ has a subsystem of at…

We associate with any simplicial complex $\K$ and any integer $m$ a system of linear equations and inequalities. If $\K$ has a simplicial embedding in $\R^m$ then the system has an integer solution. This result extends the work of I. Novik…

Sierpinski's Hypothesis H1, formulated in 1958, is the conjecture that (provided $n\geq 2$), when the first $n^2$ counting numbers, $1, 2,3,\dots n^2$, are arranged in a square, then each row contains at least one prime. This conjecture is…

In this work we study orthogonal polynomials via polynomial mappings in the framework of the $H_q-$semiclassical class. We consider two monic orthogonal polynomial sequences $\{p_n (x)\}_{n\geq0}$ and $\{q_n(x)\}_{n\geq0}$ such that $$…

Let $z_1, \dots, z_m$ be $m$ distinct complex numbers, normalized to $|z_k| = 1$, and consider the polynomial $$ p_{m}(z) = \prod_{k=1}^{m}{(z-z_k)}.$$ We define a sequence of polynomials in a greedy fashion, $$ p_{N+1}(z) = p_{N}(z)…

In the paper, we first classify all polynomial maps $H$ of the following form: $H=\big(H_1(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n),H_2(x_1,x_2),H_3(x_1,x_2),\ldots,H_n(x_1,x_2)\big)$ with $JH$ nilpotent. After that, we generalize the structure of $H$ to…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over the field $K$, and let $I\subset S$ be a graded ideal. It is shown that for $k \gg0$ the postulation number of $I^k$ is bounded by a linear function of $k$, and it is a linear function…

Given a partition $\lambda$ of a number $k$, it is known that by adding a long line of length $n-k$, the dimension of the associated representation of $S_{n}$ is an integer-valued polynomial of degree $k$ in $n$. We show that its expansion…
