In this paper we describe the method which we applied to successfully compute the primary decomposition of a certain ideal coming from applications in combinatorial algebra and algebraic statistics regarding conditional independence…

We introduce a class of dynamical systems of algebraic origin, consisting of self-interacting irreducible polynomials over a field. A polynomial f is made to act on a polynomial g by mapping the roots of g. This action identifies a new…

For a complex finite-dimensional filiform Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, we first study the bifiltration given by the bracket ideals $[C^k\mathfrak g,C^\ell\mathfrak g]$ and then the behavior of its associated bivariate Hilbert polynomial. This…

For a prime power $q$, we show that the discriminants of monic polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$ of a fixed degree $m$ are equally distributed if $\gcd(q-1,m(m-1))=2$ when $q$ is odd and $\gcd(q-1,m(m-1))=1$ if $q$ is even. A theorem in the…

Given a nondecreasing function $f$ on $[-1,1]$, we investigate how well it can be approximated by nondecreasing algebraic polynomials that interpolate it at $\pm 1$. We establish pointwise estimates of the approximation error by such…

In this article, we investigate F-pure thresholds of polynomials that are homogeneous under some N-grading, and have an isolated singularity at the origin. We characterize these invariants in terms of the base p expansion of the…

Let $f$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients such that $f(n)$ positive for any positive integer $n$. We consider diverging sequences $\{ y_n\}$ given by $y_0 = b$ and $y_{n+1} = f^{y_n}(a)$ with positive integers $a$ and $b$. We show…

For any finite poset $P$ we have the poset of isotone maps $\text{Hom}(P,\mathbb{N})$, also called $P^{op}$-partitions. To any poset ideal ${\mathcal J}$ in $\text{Hom}(P,\mathbb{N})$, finite or infinite, we associate monomial ideals: the…

Given a zero-dimensional ideal I in a polynomial ring, many computations start by finding univariate polynomials in I. Searching for a univariate polynomial in I is a particular case of considering the minimal polynomial of an element in…

Let $G$ be a topological commutative semigroup with unit. We prove that a continuous function $f\colon G\to \cc$ is a generalized exponential polynomial if and only if there is an $n\ge 2$ such that $f(x_1 +\ldots +x_n )$ is decomposable;…

The W-characteristic set of a polynomial ideal is the minimal triangular set contained in the reduced lexicographical Groebner basis of the ideal. A pair (G,C) of polynomial sets is a strong regular characteristic pair if G is a reduced…

We consider a certain left action by the monoid $SL_2(\mathbf{N}_0)$ on the set of divisor pairs $\mathcal{D}_f := \{ (m, n) \in \mathbf{N}_0 \times \mathbf{N}_0 : m \lvert f(n) \}$ where $f \in \mathbf{Z}[x]$ is a polynomial with integer…

We consider systems of ordinary differential equations with quadratic homogeneous right hand side. We give a new simple proof of a result already obtained in [8,10] which gives the necessary conditions for the existence of polynomial first…

Let I be either the ideal of maximal minors or the ideal of 2-minors of a row graded or column graded matrix of linear forms L. In two previous papers we showed that I is a Cartwright-Sturmfels ideal, that is, the multigraded generic…

For any polynomial mapping $F=(F_1,\dots ,F_n)$ of $\Cal C^n$ with a finite number of zeros we define the Noether exponent $\nu(F)$. We prove the Jacobi formula for all polynomials of degree strictly less than $\sum_{i=1}^n (\deg…

The prime divisors of a polynomial $P$ with integer coefficients are those primes $p$ for which $P(x) \equiv 0 \pmod{p}$ is solvable. Our main result is that the common prime divisors of any several polynomials are exactly the prime…

An ideal of a local polynomial ring can be described by calculating a standard basis with respect to a local monomial ordering. However standard basis algorithms are not numerically stable. Instead we can describe the ideal numerically by…

In this paper, we present a modular strategy which describes key properties of the absolute primary decomposition of an equidimensional polynomial ideal defined by polynomials with rational coefficients. The algorithm we design is based on…

It is well known that the diffeomorphism-type of the Milnor fibration of a (Newton) non-degenerate polynomial function $f$ is uniquely determined by the Newton boundary of $f$. In the present paper, we generalize this result to certain…
