Every Euclidean domain $R$ has a minimal Euclidean function, $\phi_R$. A companion paper \cite{Graves} introduced a formula to compute $\phi_{\mathbb{Z}[i]}$. It is the first formula for a minimal Euclidean function for the ring of integers…
The usual division algorithms on $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ measure the size of remainders using the norm function. These rings are Euclidean with respect to several functions. The pointwise minimum of all Euclidean functions $f: R…
In 2023, the author presented the first computable minimal Euclidean function for a non-trivial number field. Along with a formula for $\phi_{\mathbb{Z}[i]}$, the minimal Euclidean function on the Gaussian inteers, the same paper introduced…

Questions concerning small fractional parts of polynomials and pseudo-polynomials have a long history in analytic number theory. In this paper, we improve on earlier work by Madritsch and Tichy. In particular, let $f=P+\phi$ where $P$ is a…
We study surfaces in Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^3$ that are minimal for a log-linear density $\phi(x,y,z)=\alpha x+\beta y+\gamma y$, where $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ are real numbers not all zero. We prove that if a surface is $\phi$-minimal…
We add an analytic trans-exponential function $\varphi$ to $\mathbb{R}_{an,\exp}$. We reduce the o-minimality of $\mathbb{R}_{an,\exp,\varphi}$ to the existence of "many" regular values for some definable systems of functions, which is a…
In the paper [E. Jim\'enez-Fern\'andez, J. Rodr\'{\i}guez-L\'opez, E. A. S\'anchez-P\'erez, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 406 (2021),66-81], a McShane-Whitney extension theorem is presented for real-valued fuzzy Lipschitz maps between fuzzy metric…
Let $B_L$ the open ball in ${\bf R}^n$ centered at $0$, of radius $L$, and let $\phi$ be a homeomorphism from $B_L$ onto ${\bf R}^n$ such that $\phi(0)=0$ and $\phi=\nabla\Phi$, where the function $\Phi:\bar {B_L}\to ]-\infty,0]$ is…
Given an $n*n$ sparse symmetric matrix with $m$ nonzero entries, performing Gaussian elimination may turn some zeroes into nonzero values. To maintain the matrix sparse, we would like to minimize the number $k$ of these changes, hence…
An index $e$ in a numbering of partial-recursive functions is called minimal if every lesser index computes a different function from $e$. Since the 1960's it has been known that, in any reasonable programming language, no effective…
The distributional analysis of Euclidean algorithms was carried out by Baladi and Vall\'{e}e. They showed the asymptotic normality of the number of division steps and associated costs in the Euclidean algorithm as a random variable on the…
In this paper, we define Euclidean minima for function fields and give some bound for this invariant. We furthermore show that the results are analogous to those obtained in the number field case.
Let $\phi(x, y)\colon \mathbb{R}^d\times \mathbb{R}^d\to \mathbb{R}$ be a function. We say $\phi$ is a Mattila--Sj\"{o}lin type function of index $\gamma$ if $\gamma$ is the smallest number satisfying the property that for any compact set…
Any continuous piecewise-linear function $F\colon \mathbb{R}^{n}\to \mathbb{R}$ can be represented as a linear combination of $\max$ functions of at most $n+1$ affine-linear functions. In our previous paper [``Representing piecewise linear…
For each $d \in {1,2,3,7,11}$, let $T_d$ be the nearest-integer complex continued fraction map associated with the Euclidean ring $\mathcal{O}*d$, and let $(a_n)$ be its digit sequence. We prove two metric results for this five-system…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field that is complete with respect to a non-Archimedean absolute value, and let $\varphi\in K(z)$ have degree $d\geq 2$. We characterize maps for which the minimal resultant of an iterate $\varphi^n$ is…
The Euclidean minimum $M(K)$ of a number field $K$ is an important numerical invariant that indicates whether $K$ is norm-Euclidean. When $K$ is a non-CM field of unit rank 2 or higher, Cerri showed $M(K)$, as the supremum in the Euclidean…
Recently, there has been some interest in values of arithmetical functions on members of special sequences, such as Euler's totient function $\phi$ on factorials, linear recurrences, etc. In this article, we investigate, for given positive…
We study properties of Euclidean affine functions (EAFs), namely those of the form $f(r) = (\alpha\cdot r + \beta)/\delta$, and their closely related expression $\mathring{f}(r) = (\alpha\cdot r + \beta)\%\delta$, where $r$, $\alpha$,…
