Consider a system of two polynomial equations in two variables: $$F(X,Y)=G(X,Y)=0$$ where $F \in \rr[X,Y]$ has degree $d \geq 1$ and $G \in \rr[X,Y]$ has $t$ monomials. We show that the system has only $O(d^3t+d^2t^3)$ real solutions when…

Triangulation of a three-dimensional point from at least two noisy 2-D images can be formulated as a quadratically constrained quadratic program. We propose an algorithm to extract candidate solutions to this problem from its semidefinite…

Given a polynomial $Q(x_1,\cdots, x_t)=\lambda_1 x_1^{k_1}+\cdots +\lambda_t x_t^{k_t}$, for every $c\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $n\geq 2$, we study the number of solutions $N_J(Q;c,n)$ of the congruence equation $Q(x_1,\cdots, x_t)\equiv…

Estimates are provided for $s$th moments of cubic smooth Weyl sums, when $4\le s\le 8$, by enhancing the author's iterative method that delivers estimates beyond classical convexity. As a consequence, an improved lower bound is presented…

Euler noted the relation $6^3=3^3+4^3+5^3$ and asked for other instances of cubes that are sums of consecutive cubes. Similar problems have been studied by Cunningham, Catalan, Gennochi, Lucas, Pagliani, Cassels, Uchiyama, Stroeker and…
