In this paper we study the problem of maximizing the distance to a given point over an intersection of balls. It was already known that this problem can be solved in polynomial time and space if the given point is not in the convex hull of…

Motivated by a question in Schubert calculus, we study the interplay of quasisymmetric polynomials with the divided symmetrization operator, which was introduced by Postnikov in the context of volume polynomials of permutahedra. Divided…

We conduct a systematic study of the Ehrhart theory of certain slices of rectangular prisms. Our polytopes are generalizations of the hypersimplex and are contained in the larger class of polypositroids introduced by Lam and Postnikov;…

The paper proves sum-of-square-of-rational-function based representations (shortly, sosrf-based representations) of polynomial matrices that are positive semidefinite on some special sets: $\mathbb{R}^n;$ $\mathbb{R}$ and its intervals…

We work in the setting of weighted pluripotential theory arising from polynomials associated to a convex body $P$ in $({\bf R}^+)^d$. We define the {\it logarithmic indicator function} on ${\bf C}^d$: $$H_P(z):=\sup_{ J\in P} \log |z^{…

It turned out that the partial sums $g_n(z) = \sum_{k=0}^n \frac{(a_1)_k ... (a_p)_k}{(b_1)_k ... (b_q)_k} \frac{z^k}{k!}$, of the generalized hypergeometric series ${}_p F_q(a_1,...,a_p; b_1,...,b_q;z)$, with parameters…

The polynomial ring $B$ in infinitely many indeterminates $(x_1,x_2,\ldots)$, with rational coefficients, has a vector space basis of Schur polynomials, parametrized by partitions. The goal of this note is to provide an explanation of the…

A polynomial that is nonnegative need not be a sum of squares of polynomials. This classical gap, identified by Hilbert in 1888, lies at the heart of why the global optimization of multivariate quartic polynomials is NP-hard. Yet we show…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a Weyl arrangement. We introduce and study the notion of $\mathcal{A}$-Eulerian polynomial producing an Eulerian-like polynomial for any subarrangement of $\mathcal{A}$. This polynomial together with shift operator…

This paper presents a novel algorithm for constructing a sum-of-squares (SOS) decomposition for positive semi-definite polynomials with rational coefficients. Unlike previous methods that typically yield SOS decompositions with…

Let f(z) be a rational function of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field K, and assume that the second iterate f^2(z) of f(z) is not a polynomial. The second author previously proved that for any b in K, the forward orbit…

We use the polynomial method of Guth and Katz to establish stronger and {\it more efficient} regularity and density theorems for such $k$-uniform hypergraphs $H=(P,E)$, where $P$ is a finite point set in ${\mathbb R}^d$, and the edge set…

Partial permutohedra are lattice polytopes which were recently introduced and studied by Heuer and Striker. For positive integers $m$ and $n$, the partial permutohedron $\mathcal{P}(m,n)$ is the convex hull of all vectors in…

For a permutation $u\in S_n$, let $N\ast u\in S_{Nn}$ be the permutation with scaled Lehmer code. For given $u,v,w\in S_n$ and integer $N$, the stretched Schubert coefficients are defined as $f_{u,v,w}(N):=c_{N*u,N*v}^{N*w}$. Our main…

A Stein manifold X is called S-parabolic if it possesses a plurisub- harmonic exhaustion function p that is maximal outside a compact subset of X: In analogy with (Cn; ln jzj), one defines the space of polynomials on a S- parabolic manifold…

Let P be an elementary closed semi-algebraic set in R^d, i.e., there exist real polynomials p_1,...,p_s such that P= \{x \in R^d : p_1(x) \ge 0, >..., p_s(x) \ge 0 \}; in this case p_1,...,p_s are said to represent P. Denote by $n$ the…

This paper study the planar semi-quasi homogeneous polynomial differential systems (short for PSQHPDS), which can be regard as a generalization of semi-homogeneous and of quasi-homogeneous systems. By using the algebraic skills, several…

Questions concerning small fractional parts of polynomials and pseudo-polynomials have a long history in analytic number theory. In this paper, we improve on earlier work by Madritsch and Tichy. In particular, let $f=P+\phi$ where $P$ is a…

We consider multilinear Littlewood polynomials, polynomials in $n$ variables in which a specified set of monomials $U$ have $\pm 1$ coefficients, and all other coefficients are $0$. We provide upper and lower bounds (which are close for $U$…

The aim of this work is to study the quotient ring R_n of the ring Q[x_1,...,x_n] over the ideal J_n generated by non-constant homogeneous quasi-symmetric functions. We prove here that the dimension of R_n is given by C_n, the n-th Catalan…
