Given a set $S=\{x^2+c_1,\dots,x^2+c_s\}$ defined over a field and an infinite sequence $\gamma$ of elements of $S$, one can associate an arboreal representation to $\gamma$, generalizing the case of iterating a single polynomial. We study…

In this article, we study the following $p$-fractional Laplacian equation \begin{equation*} (P_{\la}) \left\{ \begin{array}{lr} - 2\int_{\mb R^n}\frac{|u(y)-u(x)|^{p-2}(u(y)-u(x))}{|x-y|^{n+p\al}} dy = \la |u(x)|^{p-2}u(x) +…

We extend to several variables an earlier result of ours, according to which an entire function of one variable of sufficiently small exponential type, having all derivatives of even order taking integer values at two points, is a…

Let $N_\sigma(\pi)$ denote the number of occurrences of a permutation pattern $\sigma\in S_k$ in a permutation $\pi\in S_n$. Gaetz and Ryba (2021) showed using partition algebras that the $d$-th moment $M_{\sigma,d,n}(\pi)$ of $N_\sigma$ on…

In the first part of this article, we complete the program announced in the preliminary note [8] by proving a conjecture presented in [9] that states the equivalence of contractibility and p_{1}-stability for generalized spaces of formal…

In this article, we study the following fractional $p$-Laplacian equation with singular nonlinearity \begin{equation*} (P_{\la}) \left\{ \begin{array}{lr} - 2\int_{\mb R^n}\frac{|w(y)-w(x)|^{p-2}(w(y)-w(x))}{|x-y|^{n+ps}}dy = a(x) w^{-q}+…

Let $R$ be a finite non-commutative ring with $1\ne 0$. By a polynomial function on $R$, we mean a function $F\colon R\longrightarrow R$ induced by a polynomial $f=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{n}a_ix^i\in R[x]$ via right substitution of the variable…

We gather together several bounds on the sizes of coefficients which can appear in factors of polynomials in Z[x]; we include a new bound which was latent in a paper by Mignotte, and a few minor improvements to some existing bounds. We…

We consider the integer point transform $\sigma _P (\mathbf{x}) = \sum _{\mathbf{m} \in P\cap \mathbb{Z}^n} \mathbf{x}^\mathbf{m} \in \mathbb C [x_1^{\pm 1},\ldots, x_n^{\pm 1}]$ of a polytope $P\subset \mathbb{R}^n$. We show that if $P$ is…

This paper presents a simple, self-contained account of Garding's theory of hyperbolic polynomials, including a recent convexity result of Bauschke-Guler-Lewis-Sendov and an inequality of Gurvits. This account also contains new results,…

Let $L(X)$ be a monic $q$-linearized polynomial over $F_q$ of degree $q^n$, where $n$ is an odd prime. Recently Gow and McGuire showed that the Galois group of $L(X)/X-t$ over the field of rational functions $F_q(t)$ is $GL_n(q)$ unless…

We show that each member of a doubly infinite sequence of highly nonlinear expressions of Bernoulli polynomials, which can be seen as linear combinations of certain higher-order convolutions, is a multiple of a specific product of linear…

A polynomial is expansive if all of its roots lie outside the unit circle. We define some special determinants involving the coefficients of a real polynomial and formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for expansivity using these…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote a finite field of order $q$. A rational function $r(x)\in \mathbb{Q}(x)$ is said to be arithmetically exceptional if it induces a permutation on $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for infinitely many primes $p$. Based on…

We study algebras satisfying a two-term multilinear identity, namely one of the form $x_1 \cdots x_n= q x_{\sigma(1)} \cdots x_{\sigma(n)}$, where $q$ is a parameter from the base field. We show that such algebras with $q=1$ and $\sigma$…

One can associate to any bivariate polynomial P(X,Y) its Newton polygon. This is the convex hull of the points (i,j) such that the monomial X^i Y^j appears in P with a nonzero coefficient. We conjecture that when P is expressed as a sum of…

Given permutations $\pi \in S_n$ and $\sigma \in S_k$, let $N_\sigma(\pi)$ denote the number of occurrences of $\sigma$ in $\pi$. While pattern avoidance and the distribution of pattern occurrences in permutations have been extensively…

In this work we obtain a Liouville theorem for positive, bounded solutions of the equation $$ (-\Delta)^s u= h(x_N)f(u) \quad \hbox{in }\mathbb{R}^{N} $$ where $(-\Delta)^s$ stands for the fractional Laplacian with $s\in (0,1)$, and the…

We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…

This paper presents a reformulation of the Leibniz product rule as a finite sum that expresses the fractional derivative of the product of two differentiable functions. This paper then proves the cases for when the product consists of an…
