In this survey we discuss the problem of the existence of rational curves on complex surfaces, both in the K\"ahler and non-K\"ahler setup. We systematically go through the Enriques--Kodaira classification of complex surfaces to highlight…
All rational parametric curves with prescribed polynomial tangent direction form a vector space. Via tangent directions with rational norm, this includes the important case of rational Pythagorean hodograph curves. We study vector subspaces…
We consider each of the three classes of representations of cyclic groups that arise in the study of rational sphere maps. We study the possible number of terms for invariant polynomials with non-negative coefficients that are constant on…
Some polynomials $P$ with rational coefficients give rise to well defined maps between cyclic groups, $\Z_q\longrightarrow\Z_r$, $x+q\Z\longmapsto P(x)+r\Z$. More generally, there are polynomials in several variables with tuples of rational…
The boundary of the convex hull of a compact algebraic curve in real 3-space defines a real algebraic surface. For general curves, that boundary surface is reducible, consisting of tritangent planes and a scroll of stationary bisecants. We…
We study neighborhoods of rational curves in surfaces with self-intersection number 1 that can be linearised.
The paper is devoted to quantization of polynomial momentum observables in the cotangent bundle of a smooth manifold. A quantization procedure is proposed allowing to quantize a wide class of functions which are polynomials of any order in…
We study the approximation of holomorphic functions of several complex variables by the ring $\mathcal{P}^S(\mathbb{C}^n)$ of polynomials whose exponents are restricted to a convex cone $\mathbb{R}_+S$ for some compact convex $S\in…
In the presence of a positive, compactly supported measure on an affine algebraic curve, we relate the density of polynomials in Lebesgue $L^2$-space to the existence of analytic bounded point evaluations. Analogues to the complex plane…

The main goal of the paper is to connect matrix polynomial biorthogonality on a contour in the plane with a suitable notion of scalar, multi-point Pad\'e approximation on an arbitrary Riemann surface endowed with a rational map to the…
Let $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ be the finite field with $q^2$ elements. We provide a simple and effective method, using reciprocal polynomials, for the construction of algebraic curves over $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ with many rational points. The curves…
We show that a polynomial equation of degree less than 5 and with real parameters can be solved by regarding the variable in which the polynomial depends as a complex variable. For do it so, we only have to separate the real and imaginary…
The purpose of this paper is to present simple and fast methods for computing control points for polynomial curves and polynomial surfaces given explicitly in terms of polynomials (written as sums of monomials). We give recurrence formulae…
Let R be a commutative ring with 1. For every homogeneous polynomial f(X_0,X_1,X_2) in R[X_0,X_1,X_2] of degree d <= 25, we find a explicit linear Pfaffian R-representation of f. We describe an empirical method that leads us to find such…
Many statistical models are algebraic in that they are defined by polynomial constraints or by parameterizations that are polynomial or rational maps. This opens the door for tools from computational algebraic geometry. These tools can be…
In multicentric calculus one takes a polynomial $p$ with distinct roots as a new variable and represents complex valued functions by $\mathbb C^d$-valued functions, where $d$ is the degree of $p$. An application is e.g. the possibility to…
We consider polynomials on the intersection of the closed positive orthant with the height-$1$ level hypersurface of certain polynomials with positive coefficients. We show that any polynomial strictly positive on such a semi-algebraic set…
