A matrix \( A \) is called \emph{kernel partition regular} if, for every finite coloring of the natural numbers \( \mathbb{N} \), there exists a monochromatic solution to the equation \( A\vec{X} = 0 \). In 1933, Rado characterized such…

It is common in stability analysis to linearize a system and investigate the spectrum of the Jacobian matrix. This approach faces the challenge of determining the matrix spectrum when the coefficients depend on parameters or when the…

This paper deals with the algorithmic aspects of solving feasibility problems of semidefinite programming (SDP), aka linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Since in some SDP instances all feasible solutions have irrational entries, numerical…

We consider multilinear Littlewood polynomials, polynomials in $n$ variables in which a specified set of monomials $U$ have $\pm 1$ coefficients, and all other coefficients are $0$. We provide upper and lower bounds (which are close for $U$…

To prove that a polynomial is nonnegative on R^n one can try to show that it is a sum of squares of polynomials (SOS). The latter problem is now known to be reducible to a semidefinite programming (SDP) computation much faster than…
