We prove a canonical polynomial Van der Waerden's Theorem. More precisely, we show the following. Let $\{p_1(x),\ldots,p_k(x)\}$ be a set of polynomials such that $p_i(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $p_i(0)=0$, for every $i\in \{1,\ldots,k\}$.…

Let K be a field of characteristic p>0, and let q be a power of p. We determine all polynomials f in K[t]\K[t^p] of degree q(q-1)/2 such that the Galois group of f(t)-u over K(u) has a transitive normal subgroup isomorphic to PSL_2(q),…

The paper contains a combinatorial theorem (the sequence of Newton polygons of a reccurent sequence of polynomials is quasi-linear) and two applications of it in classical and quantum topology, namely in the behavior of the $A$-polynomial…

It has been recently shown that $|| F_n(A) ||\leq 2$, where $A$ is a linear continuous operator acting in a Hilbert space, and $F_n$ is the Faber polynomial of degree $n$ corresponding to some convex compact $E\subset \mathbb C$ containing…

We conjecture that bounded generalised polynomial functions cannot be generated by finite automata, except for the trivial case when they are periodic away from a finite set. Using methods from ergodic theory, we are able to partially…

Understanding quantum phenomena which go beyond classical concepts is a focus of modern quantum physics. Here, we show how the theory of nonnegative polynomials emerging around Hilbert's 17th problem, can be used to optimally exploit data…

We explore two questions about pseudo-polynomials, which are functions $f:\mathbb N \to \mathbb Z$ such that $k$ divides $f(n+k) - f(n)$ for all $n,k$. First, for certain arbitrarily sparse sets $R$, we construct pseudo-polynomials $f$ with…

Sufficient ultraspherical multiplier criteria are refined in such a way that they are comparable with necessary multiplier conditions. Also new necessary conditions for Jacobi multipliers are deduced which, in particular, imply known Cohen…

We study the umbral "classical" orthogonal polynomials with respect to a generalized derivative operator $\cal D$ which acts on monomials as ${\cal D} x^n = \mu_n x^{n-1}$ with some coefficients $\mu_n$. Let $P_n(x)$ be a set of orthogonal…

In this paper we study modified kernel polynomials: $u_n(x) = \sum_{k=0}^n c_k g_k(x)$, depending on parameters $c_k>0$, where $\{ g_k \}_0^\infty$ are orthonormal polynomials on the real line. Besides kernel polynomials with $c_k =…

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…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper, by using the properties of Legendre polynomials we prove some congruences for $\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}2}\binom{2k}k^2m^{-k}\mod {p^2}$. In particular, we confirm several conjectures of Z.W. Sun. We also…

The recurrence for the $k$-Fibonacci polynomials is usually iterated upwards to positive values of $n$ only. When the recurrence is iterated downwards to $n<0$, there are indices where the polynomials vanish identically. This fact does not…

In this paper, the compositional inverses of a class of linearized permutation polynomials of the form $P(x)=x+x^2+\tr(\frac{x}{a})$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ for an odd positive integer $n$ are explicitly determined.

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;…

Gowers norms have been studied extensively both in the direct sense, starting with a function and understanding the associated norm, and in the inverse sense, starting with the norm and deducing properties of the function. Instead of…

Consider $\{p_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, a sequence of polynomials orthogonal with respect to $w(x)>0$ on $(a,b)$, and polynomials $\{g_{n,k}\}_{n=0}^{\infty},k \in \mathbb{N}_0$, orthogonal with respect to $c_k(x)w(x)>0$ on $(a,b)$, where…

In this paper, we will give suitable conditions on differential polynomials $Q(f)$ such that they take every finite non-zero value infinitely often, where $f$ is a meromorphic function in complex plane. These results are related to Problem…

We introduce a collection of polynomials $F_N$, associated to each positive integer $N$, whose divisibility properties yield a reformulation of the Goldbach conjecture. While this reformulation certainly does not lead to a resolution of the…

A necessary and sufficient condition is provided for the solvability of a binomial congruence with a composite modulus, circumventing its prime factorization. This is a generalization of Euler's Criterion through that of Euler's Theorem,…
