Let F,G in C[x_1,...,x_n] be two polynomials in n variables x_1,...,x_n over the complex numbers field C. In this paper, we prove that if the degree of the Poisson bracket [F,G] is small enough then there are strict constraints for…

Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with $1\ne 0$. The set $\mathcal{F}(R)$ of polynomial functions on $R$ is a finite commutative ring with pointwise operations. Its group of units $\mathcal{F}(R)^\times$ is just the set of all…

Functional digraphs are unlabelled finite digraphs where each vertex has exactly one out-neighbor. They are isomorphic classes of finite discrete-time dynamical systems. Endowed with the direct sum and product, functional digraphs form a…

Let $F=(F_1,F_2):C^2 ---> C^2 be a polynomial automorphism. It is well know that deg F_1 | deg F_2 or deg F_2 | deg F_1. On the other hand, if (d_1,d_2) \in (N\{0})^2 is such that d_1 | d_2 or d_2 | d_1, then one can construct a polynomial…

We answer in the negative Siegel's problem for $G$-functions, as formulated by Fischler and Rivoal. Roughly, we prove that there are $G$-functions that cannot be written as polynomial expressions in algebraic pullbacks of hypergeometric…

In this paper we address the problem of classifying complex (non-homogeneous) quasihomogeneous polynomials in two variables under bi-Lipschitz equivalence. We prove that pairs of such polynomials are (right) bi-Lipschitz equivalent as…

Let K<x,y> be the free associative algebra of rank 2 over an algebraically closed constructive field of any characteristic. We present an algorithm which decides whether or not two elements in K<x,y> are equivalent under an automorphism of…

We examine when the composition of two entire functions f and g is even, and extend some of our results to cyclic compositions in general. We prove some theorems for the cases when f or g is a polynomial. Two of the key theorems we use are…

Let $G$ be a topological Abelian semigroup with unit, let $E$ be a Banach space, and let $C(G,E)$ denote the set of continuous functions $f\colon G\to E$. A function $f\in C(G,E)$ is a generalized polynomial, if there is an $n\ge 0$ such…

It is known that if $f\colon {\mathbb R}^2 \to {\mathbb R}$ is a polynomial in each variable, then $f$ is a polynomial. We present generalizations of this fact, when ${\mathbb R}^2$ is replaced by $G\times H$, where $G$ and $H$ are…

For any block of a finite group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$ which has dihedral, semidihedral, or generalized quaternion defect groups, we determine explicitly the decomposition of the associated diagonal…

To factorize and to decompose the graphs of representative functions on the free monoid X * (generated by the alphabet X ) with values in the ring A containing Q, we examine various products of series (as concatenation, shuffle and its…

Let $f=a{\tt x} +b{\tt x}^q+{\tt x}^{2q-1}\in\Bbb F_q[{\tt x}]$. We find explicit conditions on $a$ and $b$ that are necessary and sufficient for $f$ to be a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$. This result allows us to solve a related…

New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…

We continue, in this second article, the study of the the algebraic tools which play a role in tropical algebra. We especially examine here the polynomial algebras over idempotent semi-fields. this work is motivated by the development of…

Given a semigroup $S$ generated by its squares equipped with an involutive automorphism $\sigma$ and a multiplicative function $\mu:S\to\mathbb{C}$ such that $\mu(x\sigma(x))=1$ for all $x\in S$, we determine the complex-valued solutions of…

We derive raising and lowering operators for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and find second order differential and $q$-difference equations for these polynomials. A general functional equation is found which allows one to relate…

Our main result is that we describe the solutions $g,f:S\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ of the functional equation \[g(x\sigma(y))=g(x)g(y)-f(x)f(y)+\alpha f(x\sigma(y)),\quad x,y\in S,\] where $S$ is a semigroup, $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is a fixed…

For a set $S$ of quadratic polynomials over a finite field, let $C$ be the (infinite) set of arbitrary compositions of elements in $S$. In this paper we show that there are examples with arbitrarily large $S$ such that every polynomial in…
