A positive definite quadratic form is called perfect, if it is uniquely determined by its arithmetical minimum and the integral vectors attaining it. In this self-contained survey we explain how to enumerate perfect forms in $d$ variables…
We improve the estimates in the restriction problem in dimension $n \ge 4$. To do so, we establish a weak version of a $k$-linear restriction estimate for any $k$. The exponents in this weak $k$-linear estimate are sharp for all $k$ and…
We study the problem of finding, in a real algebraic matrix group, the matrix closest to a given data matrix. We do so from the algebro-geometric perspective of Euclidean distance degrees. We recover several classical results; and among the…
We establish that the optimal bound for the size of the smallest integral solution of the Oppenheim Diophantine approximation problem $\abs{Q(x)-\xi}< \epsilon$ for a generic ternary form $Q$ is $\abs{x}\ll \epsilon^{-1}$. We also establish…
There are several numerical methods for computing approximate zeros of a given univariate polynomial. In this paper, we develop a simple and novel method for determining sharp upper bounds on errors in approximate zeros of a given…
Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a real coefficient polynomial. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…
The aim of this paper is to apply an original computation method due to Malesevic and Makragic [5] to the problem of approximating some trigonometric functions. Inequalities of Wilker-Cusa-Huygens are discussed, but the method can be…
A new type of exact solvability is reported. We study the general central polynomial potentials (with 2q anharmonic terms) which satisfy the Magyari's partial exact solvability conditions (this means that they possess a…
We improve a result of H. L. Montgomery and J. P. Weinberger by establishing the existence of infinitely many fundamental discriminants $d>0$ for which the class number of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ exeeds…
Solutions to many important partial differential equations satisfy bounds constraints, but approximations computed by finite element or finite difference methods typically fail to respect the same conditions. Chang and Nakshatrala enforce…
We study the strip packing problem, a classical packing problem which generalizes both bin packing and makespan minimization. Here we are given a set of axis-parallel rectangles in the two-dimensional plane and the goal is to pack them in a…
In this paper we consider two problems concerning string factorisation. Specifically given a string $w$ and an integer $k$ find a factorisation of $w$ where each factor has length bounded by $k$ and has the minimum (the FmD problem) or the…
We study integer coefficient polynomials of fixed degree and maximum height $H$, that are irreducible by Dumas's criterion. We call such polynomials Dumas polynomials. We derive upper bounds on the number of Dumas polynomials, as $H$…
The local minimum degree of a graph is the minimum degree that can be reached by means of local complementation. For any n, there exist graphs of order n which have a local minimum degree at least 0.189n, or at least 0.110n when restricted…
We study the solution set to multivariate Chebyshev approximation problem, focussing on the ill-posed case when the uniqueness of solutions can not be established via strict polynomial separation. We obtain an upper bound on the dimension…
We construct large subsets of the first $N$ positive integers which avoid certain arithmetic configurations. In particular, we construct a set of order $N^{0.7685}$ lacking the configuration $\{x,x+y,x+y^2\},$ surpassing the $N^{3/4}$ limit…
We consider almost-primes of the form $f(p)$ where $f$ is an irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb Z$ and $p$ runs over primes. We improve a result of Richert for polynomials of degree at least $3$. In particular we show that, when the…
We study provably effective and efficient data reduction for a class of NP-hard graph modification problems based on vertex degree properties. We show fixed-parameter tractability for NP-hard graph completion (that is, edge addition) cases…
In this paper we present an explicit counterexample of degree $n=7$, which shows that the conjecture proposed by Li et al. \cite{Li2013} regarding the first derivative bounds for rational B\'ezier curves is generally false. We further…
We make explicit the exponential bound on the degrees of the polynomials appearing in the Effective Quillen-Suslin Theorem, and apply it jointly with the Hilbert-Burch Theorem to show that the syzygy module of a sequence of m polynomials in…
