A problem about the present structure of dimensional analysis, and another one about the differences between solids and fluids are suggested. Both problems appear to have certain foundational aspects.
We consider the product knapsack problem, which is the variant of the classical 0-1 knapsack problem where the objective consists of maximizing the product of the profits of the selected items. These profits are allowed to be positive or…
We study a class of noncanonical real scalar field models in $(1+1)$-dimensional flat space-time. We first derive the general criterion for the classical linear stability of an arbitrary static soliton solution of these models. Then we…
This paper revisits the notion of classical orthogonal polynomials from a broader functional-analytic point of view. It is intended neither as a survey of known results nor as a review of the literature, but rather as a conceptual…
In this review paper we give a geometrical formulation of the field equations in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms of classical field theories (of first order) in terms of multivector fields. This formulation enables us to discuss…

We use classical tools from calculus of variations to formally derive necessary conditions for a Markov control to be optimal in a standard finite time horizon stochastic control problem. As an example, we solve the well-known Merton…
We study a broad class of polynomial optimization problems whose constraints and objective functions exhibit sparsity patterns. We give two characterizations of the number of critical points to these problems, one as a mixed volume and one…

In the present paper we study the problem of constructing a family of surfaces (surface pencils) from a given curve in 4-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{4}$. We have shown that generalized rotation surfaces in $\mathbb{E}^{4}$ are…
Multiobjective discrete programming is a well-known family of optimization problems with a large spectrum of applications. The linear case has been tackled by many authors during the last years. However, the polynomial case has not been…
These notes aim to provide a classical approach to solving some conformable differential equations based on prior knowledge of how to solve ordinary differential equations. That is, using the methods of separation of variables, homogeneous…

The extended definition of the polynomial B-splines may give a chance to improve the results obtained by the classical cubic polynomial B-splines. Determination of the optimum value of the extension parameter can be achieved by scanning…
We develop classical globally supersymmetric theories. As much as possible, we treat various dimensions and various amounts of supersymmetry in a uniform manner. We discuss theories both in components and in superspace. Throughout we…

Polynomial factorization in conventional sense is an ill-posed problem due to its discontinuity with respect to coefficient perturbations, making it a challenge for numerical computation using empirical data. As a regularization, this paper…
