We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…
We study structured optimization problems with polynomial objective function and polynomial equality constraints. The structure comes from a multi-grading on the polynomial ring in several variables. For fixed multi-degrees we determine the…
Let K be a field. For a given valuation on K[x], we determine the structure of its graded algebra and describe its set of key polynomials, in terms of any given key polynomial of minimal degree. We also characterize valuations not admitting…
We study the structure of the Fourier coefficients of low degree multivariate polynomials over finite fields. We consider three properties: (i) the number of nonzero Fourier coefficients; (ii) the sum of the absolute value of the Fourier…
We present bounds for the sparseness and for the degrees of the polynomials in the Nullstellensatz. Our bounds depend mainly on the unmixed volume of the input polynomial system. The degree bounds can substantially improve the known ones…
A Nullstellensatz is a theorem providing information on polynomials that vanish on a certain set: David Hilbert's Nullstellensatz (1893) is a cornerstone of algebraic geometry, and Noga Alon's Combinatorial Nullstellensatz (1999) is a…
We will pursue a way of building up an algebraic structure that involves, in a mathematical abstract way, the well known Grassmann variables. The problem arises when we tried to understand the grassmannian polynomial expansion on the scope…
In this note we consider roots of multivariate polynomials over a finite grid. When given information on the leading monomial with respect to a fixed monomial ordering, the footprint bound [8, 5] provides us with an upper bound on the…
In this paper, we introduce a new concept namely degree polynomial for vertices of a simple graph. This notion leads to a concept namely degree polynomial sequence which is stronger than the concept of degree sequence. After obtaining the…
The (weak) Nullstellensatz over finite fields says that if $P_1,\ldots,P_m$ are $n$-variate degree-$d$ polynomials with no common zero over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ then there are polynomials $R_1,\ldots,R_m$ such that…
It is known that the weight (that is, the number of nonzero coefficients) of a univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero is larger than the multiplicity of any of its nonzero roots. We extend this result to an appropriate…
We provide upper bounds for the cardinality of the value set of a polynomial map in several variables over a finite field. These bounds generalize earlier bounds for univariate polynomials.
We give an elementary introduction to some recent polyhedral techniques for understanding and solving systems of multivariate polynomial equations. We provide numerous concrete examples and illustrations, and assume no background in…
For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…
We present different techniques for applying Combinatorial Nullstellensatz to polynomials over finite fields. For examples, we generalize theorems from Noga Alon's paper on the subject, and present a few of our own.
In the cluster algebra literature, the notion of a graded cluster algebra has been implicit since the origin of the subject. In this work, we wish to bring this aspect of cluster algebra theory to the foreground and promote its study. We…
Most results on the value sets $V_f$ of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ relate the cardinality $|V_f|$ to the degree of $f$. In particular, the structure of the spectrum of the class of polynomials of a fixed degree $d$ is rather well…
The aim of this paper is twofold. The first is to give a quantitative version of Schmidt's subspace theorem for arbitrary families of higher degree polynomials. The second is to give a generalization of the subspace theorem for arbitrary…
We use the theory of resultants of polynomials to study the stability of an arbitrary polynomial over a finite field, that is, the property of having all its iterates irreducible. This result partially generalises the quadratic polynomial…
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…
