We study the density of complex zeros of a system of real random SO($m+1$) polynomials in several variables. We show that the density of complex zeros of this random polynomial system with real coefficients rapidly approaches the density of…

We prove that there is an absolute constant $c > 0$ such that every polynomial $P$ of the form $$P(z) = \sum_{j=0}^{n}{a_jz^j}\,, \quad |a_0| = 1\,, \quad |a_j| \leq M\,, \quad a_j \in \Bbb{C}\,, \quad M \geq 1\,,$$ has at most…

We study the zeros of Poincar\'e series $P_{k,m}$ for the full modular group. We consider the case where $m \sim \alpha k$ for some constant $\alpha > 0$. We show that in this case a positive proportion of the zeros lie on the line…

In the average-case $k$-SUM problem, given $r$ integers chosen uniformly at random from $\{0,\dots,M-1\}$, the objective is to find a ``solution'' set of $k$ numbers that sum to $0$ modulo $M$. In the dense regime of $M \leq r^k$, where…

The classical problem of counting the number of real zeros of a real polynomial was solved a long time ago by Sturm. The analogous problem of counting the number of zeros that a polynomial has on the unit circle is, however, still an open…

We describe an algorithm to count the number of distinct real zeros of a polynomial (square) system f. The algorithm performs O(n D kappa(f)) iterations where n is the number of polynomials (as well as the dimension of the ambient space), D…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f : \partial K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ a continuous, strictly positive function with $\int\limits_{\partial K} f(x) d \mu_{\partial K}(x) = 1$. We give an upper bound for the approximation…

The problem central to sparse recovery and compressive sensing is that of stable sparse recovery: we want a distribution of matrices A in R^{m\times n} such that, for any x \in R^n and with probability at least 2/3 over A, there is an…

We determine the exact freezing threshold, r^f, for a family of models of random boolean constraint satisfaction problems, including NAE-SAT and hypergraph 2-colouring, when the constraint size is sufficiently large. If the…

Hayes equivalence is defined on monic polynomials over a finite field $\fq$ in terms of the prescribed leading coefficients and the residue classes modulo a given monic polynomial $Q$. We study the distribution of the number of zeros in a…

We study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear and quadratic polynomial coefficients. We show that the set of non-isolated limits of zeros of the polynomials is the closure of…

This paper revisits an algorithm for isolating real roots of univariate polynomials based on continued fractions. It follows the work of Vincent, Uspen- sky, Collins and Akritas, Johnson and Krandick. We use some tricks, especially a new…

This paper studies the representations of a non-negative polynomial $f$ on a non-compact semi-algebraic set $K$ modulo its critical ideal. Under the assumptions that the semi-algebraic set $K$ is regular and $f$ satisfies the boundary…

This paper introduces the notion of probabilistic zero bounds for random polynomials. It presents new results regarding the probabilistic bounds of random polynomials whose coefficients are independently and identically distributed as…

For a Reinhardt domain $\Omega$ with the smooth boundary in $\mathbb{C}^{m+1}$ and a positive smooth measure $\mu$ on the boundary of $\Omega$, we consider the ensemble $P_{N}$ of polynomials of degree $N$ with the Gaussian probability…

We consider the number of vertices that must be removed from a graph G in order that the remaining subgraph has no component with more than k vertices. Our principal observation is that, if G is a sparse random graph or a random regular…

Given a polynomial system f associated with a simple multiple zero x of multiplicity {\mu}, we give a computable lower bound on the minimal distance between the simple multiple zero x and other zeros of f. If x is only given with limited…

We propose a new computational framework for the expected number of real roots of a stochastic function on a given interval. The classical Kac-Rice formula requires the joint density of the function and its derivative, which is often…

We prove that the zero set of a 4-nomial in n variables in the positive orthant has at most three connected components. This bound, which does not depend on the degree of the polynomial, not only improves the best previously known bound…

We give a high precision polynomial-time approximation scheme for the supremum of any honest n-variate (n+2)-nomial with a constant term, allowing real exponents as well as real coefficients. Our complexity bounds count field operations and…
