$f,g_1,...,g_m$ be elements of the polynomial ring $\mathbb{R}[x_1,...,x_n]$. The paper deals with the general problem of computing a lower bound for $f$ on the subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by the inequalities $g_i\ge 0$, $i=1,...,m$.…

Sufficient geometric conditions are given which determine when the Cauchy-Pexider functional equation f(x)g(y)=h(x+y) restricted to x,y lying on a hypersurface in R^d has only solutions which extend uniquely to exponential affine functions.…

Two polynomials, $f,g \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ are evaluationally coprime at x if $\gcd(f(x),g(x))=1$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for two such linear polynomials to have a positive proportion of evaluated coprime values.

Let $P$ and $Q$ be polynomials in one variable over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero. Let $f$ and $g$ be elements of a function field $\K$ over $k$ such that $P(f)=Q(g).$ We give conditions on $P$ and $Q$ such that…

We give a criterion when a polynomial $x^n-g$ is irreducible over a pseudofinite field. As an application we give an explicit description of algebraic closure of some pseudofinite fields of zero characteristic.

Let $f$ be a real function defined on the interval $[0,1]$ which is constant on $(a,b)\subset [0,1]$, and let $B_nf$ be its associated $n$th Bernstein polynomial. We prove that, for any $x\in (a,b)$, $|B_nf(x)-f(x)|$ converges to $0$ as…

Let $G$ be a graph with order $n$ and let $g, f : V (G)\rightarrow N$ such that $g(v)\leq f(v)$ for all $v\in V(G)$. We say that $G$ has all fractional $(g, f)$-factors if $G$ has a fractional $p$-factor for every $p: V (G)\rightarrow N$…

Let $P$ and $Q$ be two polynomials in two variables with coefficients in an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. We consider the rational function $f=P/Q$. For an indeterminacy point $\text{x}$ of $f$ and a value $c$, we compute…

Let $f(x,y)$ be a real polynomial of degree $d$ with isolated critical points, and let $i$ be the index of $grad f$ around a large circle containing the critical points. An elementary argument shows that $|i| \leq d-1$. In this paper we…

Consider the polynomial $f(x,y)=xy^k+C$ for $k\geq 2$ and any nonzero integer constant $C$. We derive an asymptotic formula for the $k$-free values of $f(x,y)$ when $x, y\leq H$. We also prove a similar result for the $k$-free values of…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Given a polynomial f(x,y) in K[x,y] with one place at infinity, we prove that either f is equivalent to a coordinate, or the family (f+c) has at most two rational elements. When…

In 1922 Ritt described polynomial solutions of the functional equation P(f)=Q(g). In this paper we describe solutions of the equation above in the case when P,Q are polynomials while f,g are allowed to be arbitrary entire functions. In…

Let $f$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients such that $f(n)$ positive for any positive integer $n$. We consider diverging sequences $\{ y_n\}$ given by $y_0 = b$ and $y_{n+1} = f^{y_n}(a)$ with positive integers $a$ and $b$. We show…

Let $f(t, y,y')=\sum_{i=0}^d a_i(t, y)y'^i=0$ be a first order ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients. Eremenko in 1999 proved that there exists a constant $C$ such that every rational solution of $f(t, y,y')=0$ is of…

Let $(X,Y)$ be a bivariate random vector. The estimation of a probability of the form $P(Y\leq y \mid X >t) $ is challenging when $t$ is large, and a fruitful approach consists in studying, if it exists, the limiting conditional…

The motivation of this work stems from the numerical approximation of bounded functions by polynomials satisfying the same bounds. The present contribution makes use of the recent algebraic characterization found in [B. Despr\'es, Numer.…
