Necessary and sufficient conditions for the regularity of solutions of the functional equation appearing in the theory of classical orthogonal polynomials on lattices are stated. Moreover, the functional Rodrigues formula and a closed…
These are lecture notes that are based on the lectures from a class I taught on the topic of Spectral Graph Methods at UC Berkeley during the Spring 2015 semester.
We study orthogonal polynomials for a weight function defined over a domain of revolution, where the domain is formed from rotating a two-dimensional region and goes beyond the quadratic domains. Explicit constructions of orthogonal bases…
These lecture notes are written as reference material for the Advanced Course "Hydrodynamical Methods in Last Passage Percolation Models", given at the 28th Coloquio Brasileiro de Matematica at IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, July 2011.
This is the first part of the lecture notes that grew out of the special course given during the 2021-2022 academic year. In these lecture notes we present an approach to the fundamental structures of differential geometry that uses the…
This article is a survey on the topic of polynomial amoebas. We review results of papers written on the topic with an emphasis on its computational aspects. Polynomial amoebas have numerous applications in various domains of mathematics and…
In a classical case, orthogonal polynomial sequences are in such a way that the $ n $th polynomial has the exact degree $n$. Such sequences are complete and form a basis of the space for any arbitrary polynomial. In this paper, we introduce…
This paper gives a rather arbitrary choice of formulas for ($q$-)hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials which the author missed while consulting Chapters 9 and 14 in the book "Hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and their $q$-analogues" by…
This is a self-contained set of lecture notes covering various aspects of the theory of open quantum system, at a level appropriate for a one-semester graduate course. The main emphasis is on completely positive maps and master equations,…
These Notes originated from a course I delivered at the Institute of Mathematics of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (UFRJ) in July-September 1989, were initially published in 1989 in Spanish under the title…
This book is mainly an exposition of the author's works and his joint works with his former students on explicit representations of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, related partial differential equations, linear orthogonal algebraic…
The purpose of this note is twofold: firstly to characterize all the sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ such that $$ \frac{\triangle}{{\bf \triangle} x(s-1/2)}P_{n+1}(x(s-1/2))=c_n(\triangle +2\,\mathrm{I})P_n(x(s-1/2)),…
We investigate the use of orthonormal polynomials over the unit disk B_2 in R^2 and the unit ball B_3 in R^3. An efficient evaluation of an orthonormal polynomial basis is given, and it is used in evaluating general polynomials over B_2 and…
We discuss efficient conversion algorithms for orthogonal polynomials. We describe a known conversion algorithm from an arbitrary orthogonal basis to the monomial basis, and deduce a new algorithm of the same complexity for the converse…
Volume polynomials form a distinguished class of log-concave polynomials with remarkable analytic and combinatorial properties. I will survey realization problems related to them, review fundamental inequalities they satisfy, and discuss…
This is a note accompanying "CS 410/510: INTRO TO QUANTUM COMPUTING" I taught at Portland State University in Spring 2017. It is a review and summary of some early results related to Grover's quantum search algorithm in a consistent way. I…
These are notes from the 2003 C.I.M.E. summer school "symplectic 4-manifolds and algebraic surfaces". They cover the same material as the author's (by now ancient) Ph.D. thesis.
A hypergeometric type equation satisfying certain conditions defines either a finite or an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials. We present in a unified and explicit way all these systems of orthogonal polynomials, the associated…
In this paper we introduce and investigate a new kind of functional (including ordinary and evolutionary partial) differential equations. The main goal of this paper is to explore our new philosophy by some examples on functional ODEs and…
These notes are the write-up of my 2008 PCMI lectures on multiplier ideals. They aim to give an introduction to the algebro-geometric side of the theory, with an emphasis on its global aspects. The focus is on concrete examples and…
