We propose a conic transformation method to solve the Perspective-Three-Point (P3P) problem. In contrast to the current state-of-the-art solvers, which formulate the P3P problem by intersecting two conics and constructing a degenerate conic…
This paper investigates the exponential Diophantine equation of the form $a^x+b=c^y$, where $a, b, c$ are given positive integers with $a,c \ge 2$, and $x,y$ are positive integer unknowns. We define this form as a "Type-I transcendental…
Let $C=Z(f)$ be a reduced plane curve of degree $6k$, with only nodes and ordinary cusps as singularities. Let $I$ be the ideal of the points where $C$ has a cusp. Let $\oplus S(-b_i)\to \oplus S(-a_i) \to S\to S/I$ be a minimal resolution…
Solving a quadratic equation $P(x)=ax^2+bx+c=0$ with real coefficients is known to middle school students. Solving the equation over the quaternions is not straightforward. Huang and So \cite{Huang} give a complete set of formulas, breaking…
Generalizing an argument of Matiyasevich, we illustrate a method to generate infinitely many diophantine equations whose solutions can be completely described by linear recurrences. In particular, we provide an integer-coefficient…
Composite minimization involves a collection of smooth functions which are aggregated in a nonsmooth manner. In the convex setting, we design an algorithm by linearizing each smooth component in accordance with its main curvature. The…
Some superlinear fourth order elliptic equations are considered. Ground states are proved to exist and to concentrate at a point in the limit. The proof relies on variational methods, where the existence and concentration of nontrivial…
Problems related to the existence of integral and rational points on cubic curves date back at least to Diophantus. A significant step in the modern theory of these equations was made by Siegel, who proved that a non-singular plane cubic…
Quaternionic polynomials occur naturally in applications of quaternions in science and engineering, and normalization of quaternionic polynomials is a basic manipulation. Once a Groebner basis is certified for the defining ideal I of the…
We establish estimates for the number of solutions of certain affine congruences. These estimates are then used to prove Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface split over Q and whose singularity type is D_4. This improves on a result of…
We introduce the notions of mixed resolutions and simplicial sections, and prove a theorem relating them. This result is used (in another paper) to study deformation quantization in algebraic geometry.
A structured approach for the Collatz conjecture is presented using just the odd integers that are, in turn, divided into categories based on the roles they play such as Starter, Intermediary and Terminal. The expression 4x+1 is used as a…
This paper presents new six solutions for sixth degree polynomial equation in general forms basing on new theorems, where the possibility to calculate the six roots of any sixth degree equation nearly simultaneously. The proposed roots for…
In this article, we study the vanishing order of solutions to second order elliptic equations with singular lower order terms in the plane. In particular, we derive lower bounds for solutions on arbitrarily small balls in terms of the…
The four-dimensional \phi^4 theory is usually considered to be trivial in the continuum limit. In fact, two definitions of triviality were mixed in the literature. The first one, introduced by Wilson, is equivalent to positiveness of the…
We determine the rational integers x,y,z such that x^3+y^9=z^2 and gcd(x,y,z)=1. First we determine a finite set of curves of genus 10 such that any primitive solution to x^3+y^9=z^2 corresponds to a rational point on one of those curves.…
We study the geometry and arithmetic of the curves $C \colon y^3 = x^4 + ax^2 + b$ and their associated Prym abelian surfaces $P$. We prove a Torelli theorem in this context and give a geometric proof of the fact that $P$ has quaternionic…
It is well known that general variational inequalities provide us with a unified, natural, novel and simple framework to study a wide class of unrelated problems, which arise in pure and applied sciences. In this paper, we present a number…
In a previous work, we developed the idea to solve Kepler's equation with a CORDIC-like algorithm, which does not require any division, but still multiplications in each iteration. Here we overcome this major shortcoming and solve Kepler's…
Singular stochastic partial differential equations informally refer to the partial differential equations with rough random force that leads to the products in the nonlinear terms becoming ill-defined. Besides the theories of regularity…
