Let $R$ be a commutative $k-$algebra over a field $k$. Assume $R$ is a noetherian, infinite, integral domain. The group of $k-$automorphisms of $R$,i.e.$Aut_k(R)$ acts in a natural way on $(R-k)$.In the first part of this article, we study…

In the classical theory, a famous by-product of the continued fraction expansion of quadratic irrational numbers $\sqrt{D}$ is the solution to Pell's equation for $D$. It is well-known that, once an integer solution to Pell's equation…

Schinzel and W\'ojcik have shown that if $\alpha, \beta$ are rational numbers not $0$ or $\pm 1$, then $\mathrm{ord}_p(\alpha)=\mathrm{ord}_p(\beta)$ for infinitely many primes $p$, where $\mathrm{ord}_p(\cdot)$ denotes the order in…

In this note we present some results concerning the unirationality of the algebraic variety $\cal{S}_{f}$ given by the equation \begin{equation*} N_{K/k}(X_{1}+\alpha X_{2}+\alpha^2 X_{3})=f(t), \end{equation*} where $k$ is a number field,…

Consider an algebraic function like $F(x) = \sqrt{x^3 - 1}$. If $p \in \mathbb{Q}$ is a rational number, how many iterates of $p$ under $F$ can also be rational? The dynamics of algebraic functions may be formalized in the language of…

This paper is devoted to the study of the Dirichlet problem associated with the Dunkl Laplacian $\Delta_k$. We establish, under some condition on a bounded domain $D$ of $\R^d$, the existence of a unique continuous function $h$ on $\R^d$…

A rational perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges and face diagonals are given by rational numbers and whose space diagonal is equal to unity. Its existence is equivalent to the existence of a perfect cuboid with all…

We prove the following result. Let k be an infinite perfect field of positive characteristic and assume that strong resolution of singularities holds over k. Let R be a localization of a commutative d-dimensional k-algebra of finite type…

Maximum satisfiability is a canonical NP-hard optimization problem that appears empirically hard for random instances. Let us say that a Conjunctive normal form (CNF) formula consisting of $k$-clauses is $p$-satisfiable if there exists a…

Let $w$ be a finite word of length $n$. In this paper, we study the maximum possible number of distinct rational power factors in a finite word. A rational power is a word of the form $u=p^kp'$, where $p$ is a nonempty finite word, $k$ is…

We study the problem of \emph{robust satisfiability} of systems of nonlinear equations, namely, whether for a given continuous function $f:\,K\to\mathbb{R}^n$ on a~finite simplicial complex $K$ and $\alpha>0$, it holds that each function…

We consider radially symmetric solutions for a class of resonant problems on a unit ball $B \subset R^n$ around the origin \[ \Delta u+\la _1 u +g(u)=f(r) \s \mbox{for $x \in B$}, \s u=0 \s \mbox{on $\partial B$} \,. \] Here the function…

Let $R$ be a Dedekind ring, $K$ its quotient field, and $L=K(\alpha)$ a finite field extension of $K$ defined by a monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in R[x]$. We give an easy version of Dedekind's criterion which computationally improves…

We find all polynomials f,g,h over a field K such that g and h are linear and f(g(x))=h(f(x)). We also solve the same problem for rational functions f,g,h, in case the field K is algebraically closed.

Certain integrable models are described by pairs (X,Y) of ADET Dynkin diagrams. At high energy these models are expected to have a conformally invariant limit. The S-matrix of the model determines algebraic equations, whose solutions are…

Let $p$ and $q$ be locally H\"{o}lder functions in $\RR^N$, $p>0$ and $q\geq 0$. We study the Emden-Fowler equation $-\Delta u+ q(x)|\nabla u|^a=p(x)u^{-\gamma}$ in $\RR^N$, where $a$ and $\gamma$ are positive numbers. Our main result…

In this paper we consider one particular mathematical problem of this large area of fractional powers of self-adjoined elliptic operators, defined either by Dunford-Taylor-like integrals or by the representation through the spectrum of the…

Let $\sigma_{i}(x_{1},\ldots, x_{n})=\sum_{1\leq k_{1}<k_{2}<\ldots <k_{i}\leq n}x_{k_{1}}\ldots x_{k_{i}}$ be the $i$-th elementary symmetric polynomial. In this note we generalize and extend the results obtained in a recent work of Zhang…
