In a companion paper [On semiclassical orthogonal polynomials via polynomial mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. (2017)] we proved that the semiclassical class of orthogonal polynomials is stable under polynomial transformations. In this work we…
In two dimensions, Gallagher's theorem is a strengthening of the Littlewood conjecture that holds for almost all pairs of real numbers. We prove an inhomogeneous fibre version of Gallagher's theorem, sharpening and making unconditional a…
We investigate the structure of graded commutative exponential functors. We give applications of these structure results, including computations of the homology of the symmetric groups and of extensions in the category of strict polynomial…
We generalize R. P. Stanley's celebrated theorem that the $h^\ast$-polynomial of the Ehrhart series of a rational polytope has nonnegative coefficients and is monotone under containment of polytopes. We show that these results continue to…
The cyclic sieving phenomenon provides a link between a polynomial analogue of Gauss congruence known as $q$-Gauss congruence, and a combinatorial analogue of Gauss congruence based on sequences of cyclic group actions. We strengthen this…
Recently we have shown a structure theorem for locally compact groups of polynomial growth. We give now some applications on various growth functions and relations to FC-G - series. In addition, we show some results on related classes of…
A connected matching in a graph G consists of a set of pairwise disjoint edges whose covered vertices induce a connected subgraph of G. While finding a connected matching of maximum cardinality is a well-solved problem, it is NP-hard to…
It is a classical result in rational approximation theory that certain non-smooth or singular functions, such as $|x|$ and $x^{1/p}$, can be efficiently approximated using rational functions with root-exponential convergence in terms of…
The duality theorem of Lass relates the matching polynomials of a simple graph $G$ with the matching polynomials of its complement $\bar G$. In particular, this relation gives rise to Godsil's result, which offers a nice interpretation of…
The paper describes the algebraic structure of the graded algebra of differentially homogeneous polynomials of fixed finite order. We show that it is a finitely generated algebra, and we exhibit a minimal set of generators. Along the way,…
We give new sufficient conditions for a sequence of polynomials to have only real zeros based on the method of interlacing zeros. As applications we derive several well-known facts, including the reality of zeros of orthogonal polynomials,…
We develop the connection of Berg partitions with special substitution tilings of two tiles. We obtain a new proof that the number of Berg partitions with a fixed connectivity matrix is equal to half of the sum of its entries, \cite{S-W}.…
We prove matching direct and inverse theorems for uniform polynomial approximation with $A^*$ weights (a subclass of doubling weights suitable for approximation in the $L_\infty$ norm) having finitely many zeros and not too "rapidly…
We introduce a new family of polynomials, crystal skeleton polynomials, to better understand enumeration of standard Young tableaux, quasi-Yamanouchi tableaux and interactions with Gessel's expansion of a Schur function, quasi-crystals and…
We investigate completed interlacing of zeros for pairs of polynomial sequences that fail to interlace by exactly two points. Using a general mixed recurrence relation, we identify a quadratic polynomial whose zeros serve as the two extra…
Recently Galashin, Grinberg, and Liu introduced the refined dual stable Grothendieck polynomials, which are symmetric functions in $x=(x_1,x_2,\dots)$ with additional parameters $t=(t_1,t_2,\dots)$. The refined dual stable Grothendieck…
Consider random polynomials of the form $G_n = \sum_{i=0}^n \xi_i p_i$, where the $\xi_i$ are i.i.d.\ non-degenerate complex random variables, and $\{p_i\}$ is a sequence of orthonormal polynomials with respect to a regular measure $\tau$…
We introduce the concept of piecewise interlacing zeros for studying the relation of root distribution of two polynomials. The concept is pregnant with an idea of confirming the real-rootedness of polynomials in a sequence. Roughly…
An explicit structure relation for Askey-Wilson polynomials is given. This involves a divided q-difference operator which is skew symmetric with respect to the Askey-Wilson inner product and which sends polynomials of degree n to…
