Some graphs admit drawings in the Euclidean k-space in such a (natu- ral) way, that edges are represented as line segments of unit length. Such drawings will be called k dimensional unit distance representations. When two non-adjacent…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be an arbitrary finite field, and $\mathcal{E}$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. Let $\Delta(\mathcal{E})$ be the set of distances determined by pairs of points in $\mathcal{E}$. By using the Kloosterman sums,…
The problem of recovering the configuration of points from their partial pairwise distances, referred to as the Euclidean Distance Matrix Completion (EDMC) problem, arises in a broad range of applications, including sensor network…
Suppose that X' is a smooth affine algebraic variety of dimension 3 with H_3(X')=0 which is a UFD and whose invertible functions are constants. Suppose that Z is a Zariski open subset of X which has a morphism p : Z -> U into a curve U such…
A Euclidean distance matrix $D(\alpha)$ is defined by $D_{ij}=(\alpha_i-\alpha_j)^2$, where $\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n)$ is a real vector. We prove that $D(\alpha)$ cannot be written as a sum of $\left[2\sqrt{n}-2\right]$ nonnegative…
In many robotics applications, it is necessary to compute not only the distance between the robot and the environment, but also its derivative - for example, when using control barrier functions. However, since the traditional Euclidean…
A differential analogue of the conjecture of Reichstein, Rogalski, and Zhang in algebraic dynamics is here established: if $X$ is a projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero which admits a global algebraic…
This paper is devoted to the 3-dimensional relative differential geometry of surfaces. In the Euclidean space $\R{E} ^3 $ we consider a surface $\varPhi %\colon \vect{x} = \vect{x}(u^1,u^2) $ with position vector field $\vect{x}$, which is…
In this paper we study the even monic degree-8 cuboid polynomial $P_{a,u}(t)$ introduced by R.A. Sharipov in the first-cuboid specialization of his cuboid equations. For nonzero integers $a,u$ with $u^2\neq a^2$ we prove that $P_{a,u}(t)$…
We extend to the $n$-dimensional ellipsoid contained in $\R^{n+1},$ the Darboux theory of integrability for polynomial vector fields in the $n$-dimensional sphere (Llibre et al., 2018). New results on the maximum number of invariant…
This paper considers minimum-dimensional representations of graphs in pseudo-Euclidean spaces, where adjacency and non-adjacency relations are reflected in fixed scalar square values. A representation of a simple graph $(V,E)$ is a mapping…
We study root separation of reducible monic integer polynomials of odd degree. Let h(P) be the naive height, sep(P) the minimal distance between two distinct roots of an integer polynomial P(x) and sep(P)=h(P)^{-e(P)}. Let…
This is a computational study of bottlenecks on algebraic varieties. The bottlenecks of a smooth variety $X \subseteq \mathbb{C}^n$ are the lines in $\mathbb{C}^n$ which are normal to $X$ at two distinct points. The main result is a…
The Euler characteristic of the link of a real algebraic variety is an interesting topological invariant in order to discuss local topological properties. We prove in the paper that an invariant stronger than the Euler Characteristic is…
We characterize the uniform limits of Dirichlet polynomials on a right half plane. In the Dirichlet setting, we find approximation results, with respect to the Euclidean distance and {to} the chordal one as well, analogous to classical…
A certain real number, depending on two neighbouring sides of a quadrilateral and the diagonal meeting these two sides at their common point, is shown to be invariant under affinity. As an application we demonstrate a nice formula for the…
We recall the definition of classical polar varieties, as well as those of affine and projective reciprocal polar varieties. The latter are defined with respect to a non-degenerate quadric, which gives us a notion of orthogonality. In…
In a paper from 2010, Budarina, Dickinson and Levesley studied the rational approximation properties of curves parametrized by polynomials with integral coefficients in Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension. Assuming the dimension is at…
We give a positive answer to a conjecture of Aluffi-Harris on the computation of the Euclidean distance degree of a possibly singular projective variety in terms of the local Euler obstruction function.
In this paper, we contribute toward a classification of two-variable polynomials by classifying (up to an automorphism of $C^2$) polynomials whose Newton polygon is either a triangle or a line segment. Our classification has several…
