We investigate Yang-Lee zeros of grand partition functions as truncated fugacity polynomials of which coefficients are given by the canonical partition functions $Z(T,V,N)$ up to $N \leq N_{\text{max}}$. Such a partition function can be…
In this work, we prove a refinement of the Gallai-Edmonds structure theorem for weighted matching polynomials by Ku and Wong. Our proof uses a connection between matching polynomials and branched continued fractions. We also show how this…
In this paper, the stability of longitudinal vibrations for transmission problems of two smart-system designs are studied: (i) a serially-connected Elastic-Piezoelectric-Elastic design with a local damping acting only on the piezoelectric…
Let $q$ be a prime power. We construct stable polynomials of the form $b^{m-1}(x+a)^m+c(x+a)+d$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ for $m=2,3,4$ by Capelli's lemma. When $m=3$ and $q$ is even, we confirm the conjecture of Ahmadi and…
Univariate polynomials with only real roots -- while special -- do occur often enough that their properties can lead to interesting conclusions in diverse areas. Due mainly to the recent work of two young mathematicians, Julius Borcea and…
Noticing that some recent variations of descent polynomials are special cases of Carlitz and Scoville's four-variable polynomials, which enumerate permutations by the parity of descent and ascent positions, we prove a $q$-analogue of…
For a weighted projective line, the stable category of its vector bundles modulo lines bundles has a natural triangulated structure. We prove that, for any positive integers $p, q, r$ and $r'$ with $r'\leq r$, there is an explicit…
We study the effect on the zeros of generating functions of sequences under certain non-linear transformations. Characterizations of P\'olya--Schur type are given of the transformations that preserve the property of having only real and…
In this work, we present a generalization of extended persistent homology to filtrations of graded sub-groups by defining relative homology in this setting. Our work provides a more comprehensive and flexible approach to get an algebraic…
In this paper, we study properties and patterns on permutations of multisets whose multivariate generating functions are symmetric. We interpret this phenomenon through the lens of group actions and define such a property or pattern as…
We investigate how the following properties are related to each other: i)-A manifold is "transversally" exponentially stable; ii)-The "transverse" linearization along any solution in the manifold is exponentially stable; iii)-There exists a…
Linearized polynomials appear in many different contexts, such as rank metric codes, cryptography and linear sets, and the main issue regards the characterization of the number of roots from their coefficients. Results of this type have…
We study the stability of multiple almost circular concentrated vortices in a fluid evolving according to the two-dimensional Euler equations. We show that, for general configurations, they must remain concentrated on time-scales much…
We analyze a class of stochastically stable quenched measures. We prove that stochastic stability is fully characterized by an infinite family of zero average polynomials in the covariance matrix entries.
In this paper, we study the positive stability of $P$-matrices. We prove that a $P$-matrix A is positively stable if A is a $Q^2$-matrix and there is at least one nested sequence of principal submatrices of A each of which is also a…
For perturbations of integrable Hamiltonians systems, the Nekhoroshev theorem shows that all solutions are stable for an exponentially long interval of time, provided the integrable part satisfies a steepness condition and the system is…
In this paper, the logarithmically complete monotonicity property for a functions involving $q$-gamma function is investigated for $q\in(0,1).$ As applications of this results, some new inequalities for the $q$-gamma function are…
If a real scalar field is dominated by non-relativistic modes, then it approximately conserves its particle number and obeys an equation that governs a complex scalar field theory with a conserved global U(1) symmetry. From this fact, it is…
The $Q$-learning algorithm is a simple and widely-used stochastic approximation scheme for reinforcement learning, but the basic protocol can exhibit instability in conjunction with function approximation. Such instability can be observed…
We continue the study of real polynomials acting entrywise on matrices of fixed dimension to preserve positive semidefiniteness, together with the related analysis of order properties of Schur polynomials. Previous work has shown that,…
