The main purpose of this paper is to prove some density results of polynomials in Fock spaces of slice regular functions. The spaces can be of two different kinds since they are equipped with different inner products and contain different…

We study the structure of the set of all possible affine hyperplane sections of a convex polytope. We present two different cell decompositions of this set, induced by hyperplane arrangements. Using our decomposition, we bound the number of…

For a semialgebraic set K in R^n, let P_d(K) be the cone of polynomials in R^n of degrees at most d that are nonnegative on K. This paper studies the geometry of its boundary. When K=R^n and d is even, we show that its boundary lies on the…

This paper is devoted to investigating the sequence of some linear functionals in the space $BV$ of finite variation functions. We prove that under certain conditions this sequence is bounded. We also prove that this result is sharp. In…

For $p$ prime, let $\mathcal{H}^n$ be the linear span of characteristic functions of hyperplanes in $(\mathbb{Z}/p^k\mathbb{Z})^n$. We establish new upper bounds on the dimension of $\mathcal{H}^n$ over $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, or…

We consider the notions of (i) critical points, (ii) second-order points, (iii) local minima, and (iv) strict local minima for multivariate polynomials. For each type of point, and as a function of the degree of the polynomial, we study the…

We consider regular endomorphisms of the complex affine space with a degree gap $k$. They are endomorphisms $f$ of $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^{N}$ of the form…

It was proved by Elkik that, under some smoothness conditions, the Artin functions of systems of polynomials over a Henselian pair are bounded above by linear functions. This paper gives a stronger form of this result for the class of…

In this note we show that unsatisfiable systems of linear equations with a constant number of variables per equation over prime finite fields have polynomial-size constant-degree semi-algebraic proofs of unsatisfiability. These are proofs…

In [arXiv 0811.3913] the authors introduced the notion of quasi-polynomial function as being a mapping f: X^n -> X defined and valued on a bounded chain X and which can be factorized as f(x_1,...,x_n)=p(phi(x_1),...,phi(x_n)), where p is a…

Let K be a field. For a given valuation on K[x], we determine the structure of its graded algebra and describe its set of key polynomials, in terms of any given key polynomial of minimal degree. We also characterize valuations not admitting…

Let V be a normal affine variety over the real numbers R, and let S be a semi-algebraic subset of V(R). We study the subring B(S) of the coordinate ring of V consisting of the polynomials that are bounded on S. We introduce the notion of…

We determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial over an algebraically closed field $k$ to induce a surjective map on matrix algebras $M_n(k)$ for $n \ge 2$. The criterion is given in terms of critical points and uses…

We fix a counting function of multiplicities of algebraic points in a projective hypersurface over a number field, and take the sum over all algebraic points of bounded height and fixed degree. An upper bound for the sum with respect to…

We study the class of polynomials that map a local field (i.e., the completion of a number field at a non-Archimedean place) into the subset of its $p$-th powers, where $p$ is the residue characteristic of the field in question. We present…

This paper discusses the split feasibility problem with polynomials. The sets are semi-algebraic, defined by polynomial inequalities. They can be either convex or nonconvex, either feasible or infeasible. We give semidefinite relaxations…

The polynomial method has been used recently to obtain many striking results in combinatorial geometry. In this paper, we use affine Hilbert functions to obtain an estimation theorem in finite field geometry. The most natural way to state…

We study the nonlinearity of functions defined on a finite field with 2^m elements which are the trace of a polynomial of degree 7 or more general polynomials. We show that for m odd such functions have rather good nonlinearity properties.…

New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…

This article offers a comprehensive treatment of polynomial functional regression, culminating in the establishment of a novel finite sample bound. This bound encompasses various aspects, including general smoothness conditions, capacity…
