In this paper, we introduce the $k\times n$ (with $k\leq n$) truncated, supplemented Pascal matrix which has the property that any $k$ columns form a linearly independent set. This property is also present in Reed-Solomon codes; however,…
Generalized Pascal matrix whose elements are generalized binomial coefficients is included in the group of generalized Riordan arrays. There is a special set of generalized Riordan arrays defined by parameter $q$. If $q=0$, they are…
If f(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n) is a polynomial dependent on a large number of independent Bernoulli random variables, what can be said about the maximum concentration of f on any single value? For linear polynomials, this reduces to one version…
A polynomial is expansive if all of its roots lie outside the unit circle. We define some special determinants involving the coefficients of a real polynomial and formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for expansivity using these…
In this note, we define a Gaussian probability distribution over matrices. We prove some useful properties of this distribution, namely, the fact that marginalization, conditioning, and affine transformations preserve the matrix Gaussian…
Consider a random polynomial $$ G_Q(x)=\xi_{Q,n}x^n+\xi_{Q,n-1}x^{n-1}+...+\xi_{Q,0} $$ with independent coefficients uniformly distributed on $2Q+1$ integer points $\{-Q, ..., Q\}$. Denote by $D(G_Q)$ the discriminant of $G_Q$. We show…
We investigate the signed support, that is, the set of the exponent vectors and the signs of the coefficients, of a multivariate polynomial $f$. We describe conditions on the signed support ensuring that the semi-algebraic set, denoted as…
If $\mathscr{G} = (G, +)$ is an abelian group, $S \subset G$ is said to scatter under addition if for all $a,b \in S$, $a+b \not \in S$. If $\mathscr{U}^{n}_{p}$ is the set of $n$th roots of unity in $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, where $n \geq…
A topological space is iso-dense if it has a dense set of isolated points. A topological space is scattered if each of its non-empty subspaces has an isolated point. In $\mathbf{ZF}$, in the absence of the axiom of choice, basic properties…
Let $P: \F \times \F \to \F$ be a polynomial of bounded degree over a finite field $\F$ of large characteristic. In this paper we establish the following dichotomy: either $P$ is a moderate asymmetric expander in the sense that $|P(A,B)|…
The Newton polytope $P_f$ of a polynomial $f$ is well known to have a strong impact on its zeros, as in the Kouchnirenko-Bernstein theorem on the number of simultaneous zeros of $m$ polynomials with given Newton polytopes. In this article,…
We provide upper bounds on the total number of irreducible factors, and in particular irreducibility criteria for some classes of bivariate polynomials $f(x,y)$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. Our results rely on information on the…
Pellet's theorem determines when the zeros of a polynomial can be separated into two regions, based on the presence or absence of positive roots of an auxiliary polynomial, but does not provide a method to verify its conditions or to…
Let $q>2$ be a prime power and $f={\tt x}^{q-2}+t{\tt x}^{q^2-q-1}$, where $t\in\Bbb F_q^*$. It was recently conjectured that $f$ is a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$ if and only if one of the following holds: (i) $t=1$, $q\equiv…
Let f:=(f^1,\...,f^n) be a sparse random polynomial system. This means that each f^i has fixed support (list of possibly non-zero coefficients) and each coefficient has a Gaussian probability distribution of arbitrary variance. We express…
In this paper we investigate factorizations of polynomials over the ring of dual quaternions into linear factors. While earlier results assume that the norm polynomial is real ("motion polynomials"), we only require the absence of real…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a system of linear inhomogeneous fractional differential equations to have at least one bounded solution. We also obtain an explicit description for the set of all bounded (or decay)…
Given $\{P_n \}$ a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials, we analyze their linear combinations $\{Q_n \}$with constant coefficients and fixed length $k+1$. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the orthogonality of the monic…
The purpose of this paper is to construct universal, auto--adaptive, localized, linear, polynomial (-valued) operators based on scattered data on the (hyper--)sphere $\SS^q$ ($q\ge 2$). The approximation and localization properties of our…
Given an increasing sequence of integers a(n), it is known (due to Weyl) that for almost all reals t, the fractional parts of the dilated sequence t*a(n) are uniformly distributed in the unit interval. Some effort has been made recently to…
