We state a kind of Euclidian division theorem: given a polynomial P(x) and a divisor d of the degree of P, there exist polynomials h(x),Q(x),R(x) such that P(x) = h(Q(x)) +R(x), with deg h=d. Under some conditions h,Q,R are unique, and Q is…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integer to be the signature of a (4q-1)-knot in the (4q+1)-sphere with a given square-free Alexander polynomial.
In this article, a new approach based on linear algebra is adopted to study a hybrid Sheffer polynomial sequences. The recurrence relations and differential equation for these polynomials are derived by using the properties and…
We prove that every indefinite quadratic form with non-negative integer coefficients is the volume polynomial of a pair of lattice polygons. This solves the discrete version of the Heine-Shephard problem for two bodies in the plane. As an…
Given a set of integers, one can easily construct the set of their pairwise distances. We consider the inverse problem: given a set of pairwise distances, find the integer set which realizes the pairwise distance set. This problem arises in…
A surprising 'converse to the polynomial method' of Aaronson et al. (CCC'16) shows that any bounded quadratic polynomial can be computed exactly in expectation by a 1-query algorithm up to a universal multiplicative factor related to the…
We investigate whether there exists an arithmetic progression or geometric progression consisting only palindromic numbers. In this paper we show that the answer to this question is NO. Given the first and final term we will also give an…
In this paper we show a Zariski pair of sextics which is not a degeneration of the original example given by Zariski. This is the first example of this kind known. The two curves of the pair have a trivial Alexander polynomial. The…
We compute the Gauss-Manin differential equation for any period of a polynomial in \ $\C[x_{0},\dots, x_{n}]$ \ with \ $(n+2)$ \ monomials. We give two general factorizations theorem in the algebra \ $\C< z, (\frac{\partial}{\partial…
We prove several results about integral versions of Fourier duality for abelian schemes, making use of Pappas's work on integral Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch. If $S$ is smooth quasi-projective of dimension $d$ over a field and $\pi \colon X\to…
The structure of filtered algebras of Grothendieck's differential operators of truncated polynomials in one variable and graded Poisson algebras of their principal symbols is explicitly determined. A related infinitesimal-birational duality…
We prove the Goldbach Conjecture using p-adic analysis and algebraic methods, requiring no knowledge of prime gaps or distribution by showing counterexamples exist if and only if certain polynomials have integer solutions. Assuming, for the…
In this paper we present a non-Gaussian integral based on a cubic polynomial, instead of a quadratic, and give a fundamental formula in terms of its discriminant. It gives a mathematical reinforcement to the recent result by Morozov and…
An important application of distance geometry to biochemistry studies the embeddings of the vertices of a weighted graph in the three-dimensional Euclidean space such that the edge weights are equal to the Euclidean distances between…
A theorem is proved concerning approximation of analytic functions by multivariate polynomials in the $s$-dimensional hypercube. The geometric convergence rate is determined not by the usual notion of degree of a multivariate polynomial,…
Let $f$ and $F$ be two polynomials satisfying $F(x)=u(x)f(x)+v(x)f'(x)$. We characterize the relation between the location and multiplicity of the real zeros of $f$ and $F$, which generalizes and unifies many known results, including the…
We study the characterization of several distance problems for linear differential-algebraic systems with dissipative Hamiltonian structure. Since all models are only approximations of reality and data are always inaccurate, it is an…
We show that the degree of the Alexander polynomial of an irreducible plane algebraic curve with nodes and cusps as the only singularities does not exceed ${5 \over 3}d-2$ where $d$ is the degree of the curve. We also show that the…
We study a class of overdetermined algebraic systems of equations. We prove that the number of distinct solutions equals to the maximal possible if and only if certain matrices are commuting and semisimple. This gives a characterization of…
We study self-adjoint matrix polynomial equations in a single variable and prove existence of self-adjoint solutions under some assumptions on the leading form. Our main result is that any self-adjoint matrix polynomial equation of odd…
