Consider the regular representation of the sum over all permutations weighted by the sum of their descent, inversion, and fixed point multinomials. We compute the spectrum and the multiplicities of its elements of that matrix. Note that…

We extend and improve the existing characterization of the dynamics of general quadratic real polynomial maps with coefficients that depend on a single parameter $\lambda$, and generalize this characterization to cubic real polynomial maps,…

We explore the interplay between algebraic combinatorics and algorithmic problems in graph theory by defining a polynomial with connections to correspondence colouring (also known as DP-colouring), a recent generalization of list-colouring,…

Algorithmic methods for the explicit inversion of the indefinite double covering maps are proposed. These are based on either the Givens decomposition or the polar decomposition of the given matrix in the proper, indefinite orthogonal group…

Using Newton polygons, a key factorization result for polynomials over discrete valuation domains is proved, which in particular yields new irreducibility criteria including a generalization of the classical irreducibility criterion of…

We prove two general decomposition theorems for fixed-point invariants: one for the Lefschetz number and one for the Reidemeister trace. These theorems imply the familiar additivity results for these invariants. Moreover, the proofs of…

We classify traveling waves and stationary solutions of a reaction-diffusion equation arising in population dynamics with Allee-type effects. The reaction term is given by a quadratic polynomial with a discontinuity at zero, which captures…

Let $S$ be a set of $n\geq 7$ points in the plane, no three of which are collinear. Suppose that $S$ determines $n+1$ directions. That is to say, the segments whose endpoints are in $S$ form $n+1$ distinct slopes. We prove that $S$ is, up…

In this article, we give two different sufficient conditions for the irreducibility of a polynomial of more than one variable, over the field of complex numbers, that can be written as a sum of two polynomials which depend on mutually…

We investigate ergodic-theoretical quantities and large deviation properties of one-dimensional intermittent maps, that have not only an indifferent fixed point but also a singular structure such that the uniform measure is invariant under…

The fermionant can be seen as a generalization of both the permanent (for $k=-1$) and the determinant. We demonstrate that it is VNP-complete for most cases. Furthermore it is #P-complete for the cases. The immanant is also a generalization…

In this paper we present an explicit formula for the number of permutations with a given number of alternating descents. Moreover, we study the interlacing property of the real parts of the zeros of the generating polynomials of these…

We raise some questions about graph polynomials, highlighting concepts and phenomena that may merit consideration in the development of a general theory. Our questions are mainly of three types: When do graph polynomials have reduction…

The following result, a consequence of Dumas criterion for irreducibility of polynomials over integers, is generally proved using the notion of Newton diagram: Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients and $k$ be a positive…

The stable pairs theory of local curves in 3-folds (equivariant with respect to the scaling 2-torus) is studied with stationary descendent insertions. Reduction rules are found to lower descendents when higher than the degree. Factorization…

The canonical polynomial is an important output of the multivariable topological Poincar\'e series associated with a normal surface singularity. It can be considered as a multivariable polynomial generalization of the Seiberg--Witten…

Recently Takens' Reconstruction Theorem was studied in the complex analytic setting by Forn{\ae}ss and Peters \cite{FP}. They studied the real orbits of complex polynomials, and proved that for non-exceptional polynomials ergodic properties…

We present an encoding of a polynomial system into vanishing and non-vanishing constraints on almost-principal minors of a symmetric, principally regular matrix, such that the solvability of the system over some field is equivalent to the…

The Jacobian conjecture involves the map $y= x - V(x)$ where $y, x$ are n-dimensional vectors, $V(x)$ is a symmetric polynomial of degree $d$ for which the Jacobian hypothesis holds: $ e^{Tr \ln(1- V'(x))} =1,\ \forall x$. The conjecture…

We study the relation between escape rates and pressure in general dynamical systems with holes, where pressure is defined to be the difference between entropy and the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents. Central to the discussion is the…
