We study the growth of polynomials on semialgebraic sets. For this purpose we associate a graded algebra to the set, and address all kinds of questions about finite generation. We show that for a certain class of sets, the algebra is…

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…

We determine the roots in F_{q^3} of the polynomial X^{2q^k+1} + X + c for each positive integer k and each c in F_q, where q is a power of 2. We introduce a new approach for this type of question, and we obtain results which are more…

A $(\delta\geq k_1,\delta\geq k_2)$-partition of a graph $G$ is a vertex-partition $(V_1,V_2)$ of $G$ satisfying that $\delta(G[V_i])\geq k_i$ for $i=1,2$. We determine, for all positive integers $k_1,k_2$, the complexity of deciding…

A function in a class $\mathcal{F}(X)$ is said to be subdifferentially determined in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ if it is equal up to an additive constant to any function in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ with the same subdifferential. A function is said to be…

Let $g_1,\dots, g_s \in \mathbb{R}[X_1,\dots, X_n,Y]$ and $S = \{(\bar{x},y)\in \mathbb{R}^{n+1} \mid g_1(\bar{x},y) \ge 0, \dots, g_s(\bar{x}, y) \ge 0\}$ be a non-empty, possibly unbounded, subset of a cylinder in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Let…

We consider a refinement of the partition function of graph homomorphisms and present a quasi-polynomial algorithm to compute it in a certain domain. As a corollary, we obtain quasi-polynomial algorithms for computing partition functions…

Polynomial functors are a categorical generalization of the usual notion of polynomial, which has found many applications in higher categories and type theory: those are generated by polynomials consisting a set of monomials built from sets…

The equation $f^n+g^n=1$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$ can be regarded as the Fermat Diophantine equation over the function field. In this paper we study the characterization of entire solutions of some system of Fermat type functional equations by…

We determine all degree-4 rational functions f(X) in F_q(X) which permute P^1(F_q), and answer two questions of Ferraguti and Micheli about the number of such functions and the number of equivalence classes of such functions up to composing…

We treat two related trigonometric functional equations on semigroups. First we solve the $\mu$-sine subtraction law \[\mu(y) k(x \sigma(y))=k(x) l(y)-k(y) l(x), \quad x, y \in S,\] for $k, l : S\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$, where $S$ is a…

We give an explicit description of the free objects in the quasivariety of adequate semigroups, as sets of labelled directed trees under a natural combinatorial multiplication. The morphisms of the free adequate semigroup onto the free…

We present a few factorizations of polynomials over finite fields. These factorizations are related to traces, compositions of polynomials and binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a description of all irreducible polynomials…

We study the groups $G$ with the curious property that there exists an element $k\in G$ and a function $f\colon G\to G$ such that $f(xk)=xf(x)$ holds for all $x\in G$. This property arose from the study of near-rings and input-output…

In this article, we prove some factorization results for several classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield several classes of irreducible polynomials. Such classes of polynomials are devised by imposing…

We investigate semiconjugate rational functions, that is rational functions $A,$ $B$ related by the functional equation $A\circ X=X\circ B$, where $X$ is a rational function of degree at least two. We show that if $A$ and $B$ is a pair of…

We consider differential-algebraic equations in infinite dimensional state spaces and study, under which conditions we can associate a $C_{0}$-semigroup with such equations. We determine the right space of initial values and characterise…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field and let $f$ be a linear polynomial in $\mathbb{F}[x]$. We investigate the number of polynomials of degree $d$ which commute with $f$ under composition. In so doing, we rediscover a result of Park, but with…

There are two kinds of polynomial functions on matrix algebras over commutative rings: those induced by polynomials with coefficients in the algebra itself and those induced by polynomials with scalar coefficients. In the case of algebras…

We show factorization of polynomials in one variable over the tropical semiring is in general NP-complete, either if all coefficients are finite, or if all are either 0 or infinity (Boolean case). We give algorithms for the factorization…
