It is known that a $2\times 2$ quaternionic matrix has one, two or an infinite number of left eigenvalues, but the available algebraic proofs are difficult to generalize to higher orders. In this paper a different point of view is adopted…
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…
We obtain a description of the Bipartite Perfect Matching decision problem as a multilinear polynomial over the Reals. We show that it has full degree and $(1-o_n(1))\cdot 2^{n^2}$ monomials with non-zero coefficients. In contrast, we show…
We show that for all homogeneous polynomials $ f_{m}$ of degree $m$, in $d$ variables, and each $j = 1, \dots , d$, we have \begin{equation*} \left\langle x_{j}^{2}f_{m},f_{m}\right\rangle _{L^{2}\left( \mathbb{S}% ^{d-1}\right) } \geq…
We establish a one-to-one correspondence between 1-planar graphs and general and hole-free 4-map graphs and show that 1-planar graphs can be recognized in polynomial time if they are crossing-augmented, fully triangulated, and maximal…
We extend the famous diophantine Frobenius problem to the case of polynomials over a field $k$. Similar to the classical problem, we show that the $n=2$ case of the Frobenius problem for polynomials is easy to solve. In addition, we…
Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n \ge 1$ with real coefficients and let $X \ge 2$ and $\delta \ge 0$ be real numbers. Let $\|\cdot\|$ be the distance to the nearest integer. We obtain upper bounds for the number of solutions to the…
This article proposes a bivariate polynomial problem for finite-order real matrices that endows a \textit{`sufficient condition'} for a map from the standard vector spaces of finite-order real matrices to the same dimensional bivariate…
We introduce a family of weight matrices $W$ of the form $T(t)T^*(t)$, $T(t)=e^{\mathscr{A}t}e^{\mathscr{D}t^2}$, where $\mathscr{A}$ is certain nilpotent matrix and $\mathscr{D}$ is a diagonal matrix with negative real entries. The weight…
We present an algorithm to solve a system of diagonal polynomial equations over finite fields when the number of variables is greater than some fixed polynomial of the number of equations whose degree depends only on the degree of the…
We complete the complexity classification by degree of minimizing a polynomial over the integer points in a polyhedron in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Previous work shows that optimizing a quadratic polynomial over the integer points in a polyhedral…
Suppose $v(x,y):\mathbb C\rightarrow \mathbb R$ is an entire harmonic polynomial with no critical points in the right half plane. Let $z_1, z_2\in\mathbb C$ lie on a level set of $v$ , and assume ${\rm Re}(z_2)>{\rm Re}(z_1)\geq0$. We give…
In this paper we prove existence of matings between a large class of renormalizable cubic polynomials with one fixed critical point and another cubic polynomial having two fixed critical points. The resulting mating is a Newton map. Our…
Douady and Hubbard introduced the operation of mating of polynomials. This identifies two filled Julia sets and the dynamics on them via external rays. In many cases one obtains a rational map. Here the opposite question is tackled. Namely…
In a rectilinear dual of a planar graph vertices are represented by simple rectilinear polygons and edges are represented by side-contact between the corresponding polygons. A rectilinear dual is called a cartogram if the area of each…
The degree of a polynomial representing (or approximating) a function f is a lower bound for the number of quantum queries needed to compute f. This observation has been a source of many lower bounds on quantum algorithms. It has been an…
Given a function $f$ in a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ of $q$ elements, we define the functional graph of $f$ as a directed graph on $q$ nodes labelled by the elements of ${\mathbb F}_q$ where there is an edge from $u$ to $v$ if and only if…
Let $X,Y$ be two irreducible subvarieties of the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$, and $d\geq 1$ an integer number. The main result of this paper is an algorithm to construct {\bf explicitly}, in terms of $d$ and the ideals defining $X$ and…
Each partition $\lambda = (\lambda_1, \lambda_2, ..., \lambda_n)$ determines a so-called Ferrers tableau or, equivalently, a Ferrers bipartite graph. Its edge ideal, dubbed Ferrers ideal, is a squarefree monomial ideal that is generated by…
Let $p(t)$ be an admissible Hilbert polynomial in $\PP^n$ of degree $d$. The Hilbert scheme $\hilb^n_p(t)$ can be realized as a closed subscheme of a suitable Grassmannian $ \mathbb G$, hence it could be globally defined by homogeneous…
