A rational map $\phi: \mathbb{P}_k^m \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}_k^n$ is defined by homogeneous polynomials of a common degree $d$. We establish a linear bound in terms of $d$ for the number of $(m-1)$-dimensional fibers of $\phi$, by using…
We give a closed formula for the dimension of all linear systems in $\mathbb{P}^n$ with assigned multiplicity at arbitrary collections of points lying on a rational normal curve of degree $n$. In particular we give a purely geometric…
In characteristic $p>0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, we compute the number of nonplanar rational curves of arbitrary degrees on a smooth Hermitian surface of degree $q+1$ under the assumption that the curves have a parametrization given by…
Rational homology ellipsoids are certain Liouville domains diffeomorphic to rational homology balls and having Lagrangian pin-wheels as their skeleta. From the point of view of almost toric fibrations, they are a natural generalisation of…
We give a classification and a construction of all smooth $(n-1)$-dimensional varieties of lines in ${\bf P}\sp n$ verifying that all their lines meet a curve. This also gives a complete classification of $(n-1)$-scrolls over a curve…
This paper is concerned with configurations of points in a plane lattice which determine angles that are rational multiples of $\pi$. We shall study how many such angles may appear in a given lattice and in which positions, allowing the…
We develop a link between degree estimates for rational sphere maps and compressed sensing. We provide several new ideas and many examples, both old and new, that amplify connections with linear programming. We close with a list of ten open…
The aim of this paper is to obtain a classification of scrolls of genus 0 and 1, which are defined by a one-dimensional family of lines meeting a certain set of linear spaces in ${\bf P}^n$. These ruled surfaces will be called incidence…
Let $\alpha $ be a $p \times q$ interval matrix with $p \geq q$ and with the endpoints of all its entries in the set of the rational numbers. We prove that, if $\alpha $ contains a rank-$r$ real matrix with $r \in \{2, q-2,q-1,q\}$, then it…
The parametric degree of a rational surface is the degree of the polynomials in the smallest possible proper parametrization. An example shows that the parametric degree is not a geometric but an arithmetic concept, in the sense that it…
We look at sequences of positive integers that can be realized as degree sequences of iterates of rational dominant maps of smooth projective varieties over arbitrary fields. New constraints on the degree growth of endomorphisms of the…
A systematic construction of higher order splines using two hierarchies of polynomials is presented. Explicit instructions on how to implement one of these hierarchies are given. The results are limited to interpolations on regular,…
In the first part of this paper we study scrollers and linearly joined varieties. A particular class of varieties, of important interest in classical Geometry are Cohen--Macaulay varieties of minimal degree. They appear naturally studying…
In [{Structural properties and decomposition of linear balanced matrices}, {\it Mathematical Programming}, 55:129--168, 1992], Conforti and Rao conjectured that every balanced bipartite graph contains an edge that is not the unique chord of…
In this short paper, we show that the fiber cones of rational normal scrolls are Cohen-Macaulay. As an application, we compute their Castelnuovo-Mumford regularities and $\mathbf{a}$-invariants, as well as the reduction number of the…
An interval matrix is a matrix whose entries are intervals in the set of real numbers. We generalize this concept, which has been broadly studied, to other fields. Precisely we define a rational interval matrix to be a matrix whose entries…
In this paper we study smooth complex projective polarized varieties (X,H) of dimension n \ge 2 which admit a dominating family V of rational curves of H-degree 3, such that two general points of X may be joined by a curve parametrized by…
We give criteria for graded ideals to have the property that all their powers are componentwise linear. Typical examples to which our criteria can be applied include the vertex cover ideals of certain finite graphs.
One of the possible variants of the classification of trigonometric interpolation splines is considered, depending on the chosen convergence factors, the distribution of signs of the basis functions and the interpolation factors. The…
A rational triangle is a triangle with sides of rational lengths. In this short note, we prove that there exists a unique pair of a rational right triangle and a rational isosceles triangle which have the same perimeter and the same area.…
