We study the polynomial approximation of symmetric multivariate functions and of multi-set functions. Specifically, we consider $f(x_1, \dots, x_N)$, where $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$, and $f$ is invariant under permutations of its $N$…
In this paper, we address the problem of minimizing a convex function f over a convex set, with the extra constraint that some variables must be integer. This problem, even when f is a piecewise linear function, is NP-hard. We study an…
Let $K$ be a compact subset of a totally-real manifold $M$, where $M$ is either a $\mathcal{C}^2$-smooth graph in $\mathbb{C}^{2n}$ over $\mathbb{C}^n$, or $M=u^{-1}\{0\}$ for a $\mathcal{C}^2$-smooth submersion $u$ from $\mathbb{C}^n$ to…
In this paper, applied strictly monotonic increasing scaled maps, a kind of well-conditioned linear barycentric rational interpolations are proposed to approximate functions of singularities at the origin, such as $x^\alpha$ for $\alpha \in…
The multi-point Taylor polynomial, which is the general, unique and of minimum degree ($mk+m-1$) polynomial $P_{k,m}(x)$ which interpolates a function's derivatives in multiple points is presented in its explicit form. A proof that this…
For a function $f$, continuous on a compact convex set $K$ and analytic in its interior we construct a sequence of almost optimal polynomials that converge with a geometric rate at points of analyticity of $f$.
The concepts of evaluation and interpolation are extended from univariate skew polynomials to multivariate skew polynomials, with coefficients over division rings. Iterated skew polynomial rings are in general not suitable for this purpose.…
We introduce the novel concept of a non-stationary iterated function system by considering a countable sequence of distinct set-valued maps $\{\mathcal{F}_k\}_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ where each $\mathcal{F}_k$ maps $\mathcal{H}(X)\to…
We consider an interesting class of combinatorial symmetries of polytopes which we call \emph{edge-length preserving combinatorial symmetries}. These symmetries not only preserve the combinatorial structure of a polytope but also map each…
We show that the number of $k$-matching in a given undirected graph $G$ is equal to the number of perfect matching of the corresponding graph $G_k$ on an even number of vertices divided by a suitable factor. If $G$ is bipartite then one can…
The feasibility of extrapolation of completely monotone functions can be quantified by examining the worst case scenario, whereby a pair of completely monotone functions agree on a given interval to a given relative precision, but differ as…
In a recent work, the combinatorial interpretation of the polynomial alpha(n;k1,k2,...,kn) counting the number of Monotone Triangles with bottom row k1 < k2 < ... < kn was extended to weakly decreasing sequences k1 >= k2 >= ... >= kn. In…
We consider regular polynomial interpolation algorithms on recursively defined sets of interpolation points which approximate global solutions of arbitrary well-posed systems of linear partial differential equations. Convergence of the…
We consider space-saving versions of several important operations on univariate polynomials, namely power series inversion and division, division with remainder, multi-point evaluation, and interpolation. Now-classical results show that…
This article presents a high-order accurate numerical method for the evaluation of singular volume integral operators, with attention focused on operators associated with the Poisson and Helmholtz equations in two dimensions. Following the…
We consider four related problems. (1) Obtaining dimension estimates for the set of exceptional vantage points for the pinned Falconer distance problem. (2) Nonlinear projection theorems, in the spirit of Kaufman, Bourgain, and Shmerkin.…
Motivated by the application of Lyapunov methods to partial differential equations (PDEs), we study functional inequalities of the form $f(I_1(u),\ldots,I_k(u))\geq 0$ where $f$ is a polynomial, $u$ is any function satisfying prescribed…
A polynomial matrix inequality is a formula asserting that a polynomial matrix is positive semidefinite. Polynomial matrix optimization concerns minimizing the smallest eigenvalue of a symmetric polynomial matrix subject to a tuple of…
Using polynomial interpolation, along with structural properties of the family of positive real rational functions, we here show that a set of m nodes in the open left half of the complex plane, can always be mapped to anywhere in the…
Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f : \partial K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ a continuous, strictly positive function with $\int\limits_{\partial K} f(x) d \mu_{\partial K}(x) = 1$. We give an upper bound for the approximation…
