For a given rational number $x$ and an integer $s\geq 1$, let us consider a generalized polylogarithmic function, often called the Lerch function, defined by $$\Phi_{s}(x,z)= \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{z^{k+1}}{(k+x+1)^s}\enspace.$$ We prove…

A well known upper bound for the independence number $\alpha(G)$ of a graph $G$, due to Cvetkovi\'{c}, is that \begin{equation*} \alpha(G) \le n^0 + \min\{n^+ , n^-\} \end{equation*} where $(n^+, n^0, n^-)$ is the inertia of $G$. We prove…

Let $\mathcal A$ be an $\mathbb F$-algebra and $\omega \in \mathcal A\langle x_1, \ldots, x_m \rangle$ which defines a map $\mathcal A^m \rightarrow \mathcal A$ by evaluation, called a polynomial map with constant. We consider $\mathcal {A}…

An independent set in a graph is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices, and a(G) is the size of a maximum independent set in the graph G. If s_{k} is the number of independent sets of cardinality k in G, then…

The condition number of a diagonally scaled matrix, for appropriately chosen scaling matrices, is often less than that of the original. Equilibration scales a matrix so that the scaled matrix's row and column norms are equal. Scaling can be…
