This dissertation presents new results on three different themes all related to matroid polytopes. First we investigate properties of Ehrhart polynomials of matroid polytopes, independence matroid polytopes, and polymatroids. We prove that…

In this paper, we consider interpolation by \textit{completely monotonous} polynomials (CMPs for short), that is, polynomials with non-negative real coefficients. In particular, given a finite set $S\subset \mathbb{R}_{>0} \times…

We study the occurrence of curved three-point configurations in fractal subsets of the real line. We prove that if \(E \subset [0,1]\) is a compact set with sufficiently large Hausdorff dimension, then \(E\) contains a curved three-point…

We recently introduced the Fast Newton Transform (FNT), an hierarchical algorithm for performing multivariate Newton interpolation in arbitrary downward closed polynomial spaces of spatial dimension $m$. Here, we analyze the FNT in the…

We define $F$-polynomials as linear combinations of dilations by some frequencies of an entire function $F$. In this paper we use Pade interpolation of holomorphic functions in the unit disk by $F$-polynomials to obtain explicitly…

Let G be an undirected simple graph having n vertices and let f be a function defined to be f:V(G) -> {0,..., n-1}. An f-factor of G is a spanning subgraph H such that degree of a vertex v in H is f(v) for every vertex v in V(G). The…

For $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$, $m\geq 1$ and a given function $f : \mathbb{R}^m\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$, the polynomial interpolation problem (PIP) is to determine a unisolvent node set $P_{m,n} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$ of…

Let $\cal{N}=\{1,\cdots,n\}$. The entropy function $\bf h$ of a set of $n$ discrete random variables $\{X_i:i\in\cal N\}$ is a $2^n$-dimensional vector whose entries are ${\bf{h}}({\cal{A}})\triangleq H(X_{\cal{A}}),\cal{A}\subset{\cal N}…

We consider the maximization problem in the value oracle model of functions defined on $k$-tuples of sets that are submodular in every orthant and $r$-wise monotone, where $k\geq 2$ and $1\leq r\leq k$. We give an analysis of a…

The Kauffman bracket skein module $K(M)$ of a 3-manifold $M$ is defined over formal power series in the variable $h$ by letting $A=e^{h/4}$. For a compact oriented surface $F$, it is shown that $K(F \times I)$ is a quantization of the…

Given an inner function $\theta$ on the unit disk, let $K^p_\theta:=H^p\cap\theta\bar z\bar{H^p}$ be the associated star-invariant subspace of the Hardy space $H^p$. Also, we put $K_{*\theta}:=K^2_\theta\cap{\rm BMO}$. Assuming that…

We reveal a complexity chasm, separating the trinomial and tetranomial cases, for solving univariate sparse polynomial equations over certain local fields. First, for any fixed field $K\in\{\mathbb{Q}_2,\mathbb{Q}_3,\mathbb{Q}_5,\ldots\}$,…

We present a Hermite interpolation problem via splines of odd-degree which, to the best knowledge of the authors, has not been considered in the literature on interpolation via odd-degree splines. In this new interpolation problem, we…

Constructing $r$-th nonresidue over a finite field is a fundamental computational problem. A related problem is to construct an irreducible polynomial of degree $r^e$ (where $r$ is a prime) over a given finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of…

Motivated by a recently introduced HIMMO key distribution scheme, we consider a modification of the noisy polynomial interpolation problem of recovering an unknown polynomial $f(X) \in Z[X]$ from approximate values of the residues of $f(t)$…

If, for a subset S of Z^k, we compare the conditions of being parametrizable (a) by a single k-tuple of polynomials with integer coefficients, (b) by a single k-tuple of integer-valued polynomials and, (c) by finitely many k-tuples of…

Embedding Calculus, as described by Weiss, is a calculus of functors, suitable for studying contravariant functors from the poset of open subsets of a smooth manifold M, denoted O(M), to a category of topological spaces (of which the…

\emph{Reductions} combine collections of input values with an associative (and usually also commutative) operator to produce either a single, or a collection of outputs. They are ubiquitous in computing, especially with big data and deep…

We study conditions under which a finite simplicial complex $K$ can be mapped to $\mathbb R^d$ without higher-multiplicity intersections. An almost $r$-embedding is a map $f: K\to \mathbb R^d$ such that the images of any $r$ pairwise…

A polytope is integral if all of its vertices are lattice points. The constant term of the Ehrhart polynomial of an integral polytope is known to be 1. In previous work, we showed that the coefficients of the Ehrhart polynomial of a…
