Consider real bivariate polynomials f and g, respectively having 3 and m monomial terms. We prove that for all m>=3, there are systems of the form (f,g) having exactly 2m-1 roots in the positive quadrant. Even examples with m=4 having 7…
The independence polynomial of a graph $G$ is the generating polynomial corresponding to its independent sets of different sizes. More formally, if $a_k(G)$ denotes the number of independent sets of $G$ of size $k$ then \[I(G,z) \as…
Let $f_1, f_2, ..., f_n$ be a family of independent copies of a given random variable f in a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mu)$. Then, the following equivalence of norms holds whenever $1 \le q \le p < \infty$…

In this paper we study some generalized versions of a recent result due to Covert, Koh, and Pi (2015). More precisely, we prove that if a subset $\mathcal{E}$ in a regular variety satisfies $|\mathcal{E}|\gg…
By using the Calkin-Wilf tree, we prove the irrationality of numbers of the form $\alpha=\frac{\sqrt{N}+p}{q}$ where $N$ is a positive integer which is not a perfect square, $p$ is a rational integer such that $p^2<N$ and $q$ is a positive…
If $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ is a finite field, $C$ is a vector subspace of $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$ (linear code), and $G$ is a subgroup of the group of linear automorphisms of $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$, $C$ is said to be $G$-invariant if $g(C)=C$ for all…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of self-dual MRD codes $C\subset L^n$, where $L/F$ is an arbitrary field extension of degree $m\geq n$. We then apply our results to the case of finite fields, and prove that if $m=n$ and…
We prove a conjecture in \cite{L} stating that certain polynomials $P^{\sigma}_{y,w}(q)$ introduced in \cite{LV1} for twisted involutions in an affine Weyl group give $(-q)$-analogues of weight multiplicities of the Langlands dual group…
Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$, and let $f \in \mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ be a polynomial of degree $d > 0$. Denote the image set of this polynomial as $V_{f}=\{f(\alpha)\mid\alpha\in\mathbb{F}_{q}\}$ and denote the…
This paper builds on the research initiated by Boyadzhiev, but introduces generalized harmonic numbers, \[ H_n(\alpha)= \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{\alpha^{k}}{k}, \] which enable the derivation of new identities as well as the reformulation of…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements and $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ the degree $n$ extension of $\mathbb{F}_q$. A normal basis of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ over $\mathbb{F} _q$ is a basis of the form…
Let $\mathrm{G} = \mathrm{Gl}_{n}(K)$, and $\mathrm{H} = \mathrm{G}^{\sigma}$ for $\sigma$ an involution of the form $g\rightarrow aga^{-1}$, It is known that for $K =\mathbb{Q}_q$ any irreducible representation of $\mathrm{G}$ with an…
For two positive real numbers $x$ and $y$ let $H$, $G$, $A$ and $Q$ be the harmonic mean, the geometric mean, the arithmetic mean and the quadratic mean of $x$ and $y$, respectively. In this note, we prove that \begin{equation*} A\cdot G\ge…
Grassmannian $\mathcal{G}_q(n,k)$ is the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n.$ Recently, Etzion and Zhang introduced a new notion called covering Grassmannian code which can be used in network coding…
We provide sufficient and necessary conditions for the coefficients of a $q$-polynomial $f$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ which ensure that the number of distinct roots of $f$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ equals the degree of $f$. We say that these…
We consider a $(q,y)$-analogue of Laguerre polynomials $L^{(\alpha)}_n(x;y;q)$ for integral $\alpha\geq -1$, which turns out to be a rescaled version of Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials. A combinatorial interpretation for the $(q,y)$-Laguerre…

We extend a localization result for the $H^{1/2}$ norm by B. Faermann to a wider class of subspaces of $H^{1/2}(\Gamma)$, and we prove an analogous result for the $H^{-1/2}(\Gamma)$ norm, $\Gamma$ being the boundary of a bounded polytopal…
