Let $\Gamma$ be an arrangement of Jordan curves in the plane, i.e., simple closed curves in the plane. For any curve $\gamma \in \Gamma$, we denote the bounded region enclosed by $\gamma$ as $\tilde{\gamma}$. We say that $\Gamma$ is…

We classify nontrivial, nonnegative, positively homogeneous solutions of the equation \begin{equation*} \Delta u=\gamma u^{\gamma-1} \end{equation*} in the plane. The problem is motivated by the analysis of the classical Alt-Phillips free…

In this paper, we first summarize the existing algorithms for computing all the generalized asymptotes of a plane algebraic curve implicitly or parametrically defined. From these previous results, we derive a method that allows to easily…

The alliance polynomial of a graph $\Gamma$ with order $n$ and maximum degree $\delta_1$ is the polynomial $A(\Gamma; x) = \sum_{k=-\delta_1}^{\delta_1} A_{k}(\Gamma) \, x^{n+k}$, where $A_{k}(\Gamma)$ is the number of exact defensive…

Let $t_{i,j}$ be the coefficient of $x^iy^j$ in the Tutte polynomial $T(G;x,y)$ of a connected bridgeless and loopless graph $G$ with order $n$ and size $m$. It is trivial that $t_{0,m-n+1}=1$ and $t_{n-1,0}=1$. In this paper, we obtain…

Using a geometric approach involving Riemann surface orbifolds, we provide lower bounds for the genus of an irreducible algebraic curve of the form $E_{A,B}:\, A(x)-B(y)=0$, where $A, B\in\mathbb C(z)$. We also investigate "series" of…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with diameter $D \ge 4$ and valency $k \ge 3$. Let $X$ denote the vertex set of $\Gamma$, and let $A$ denote the adjacency matrix of $\Gamma$. For $x \in X$ let $T=T(x)$ denote the…

We prove the existence of an algebraic plane curve of equation $P(x,y)=0$, with prescribed asymptotic behaviors at punctures, and with the Boutroux property, namely, periods have vanishing real part, i.e, $\Re(\int_\gamma y dx)=0$ for every…

Extending results for space curves we establish bounds for the cohomology of a non-degenerate curve in projective $n$-space. As a consequence, for any given $n$ we determine all possible pairs $(d, g)$ where $d$ is the degree and $g$ is the…

For a relative effective divisor $\mathcal{C}$ on a smooth projective family of surfaces $q:\mathcal{S}\rightarrow B$, we consider the locus in $B$ over which the fibres of $\mathcal{C}$ are $\delta$-nodal curves. We prove a conjecture by…

Let $\Gamma$ be a higher rank lattice acting on a nondegenerate dendrite $X$ with no infinite order points. We show that there exists a nondegenerate subdendrite $Y$ which is $\Gamma$-invariant and satisfies the following items: (1) There…

Let $\Omega = \mathbb R^3 \setminus \bar{K}$, where $K$ is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary $\Gamma$. Let $V(t) = e^{tG_b},\: t \geq 0,$ be the semigroup related to Maxwell's equations in $\Omega$ with dissipative boundary…

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…

In this paper we begin to study curves on a weighted projective plane with one trivial weight, ${\mathbb P}(1,m,n)$, by determining the genus of curves of Fermat type. These are curves defined by a ``homogeneous'' polynomial analagous to…

Suppose E/F is a field extension. We ask whether or not there exists an element of E whose characteristic polynomial has one or more zero coefficients in specified positions. We show that the answer is frequently ``no''. We also prove…

Given the complement of a hyperplane arrangement, let $\Gamma$ be the closure of the graph of the map inverting each of its defining linear forms. The characteristic polynomial manifests itself in the Hilbert series of $\Gamma$ in two…

Greuel, Lossen and Shustin gave a general sufficient numerical condition for the T-smoothness (smoothness and expected dimension) of equisingular families of plane curves. This condition involves a new invariant \gamma for plane curve…

The underlying algebra for a noncommutative geometry is taken to be a matrix algebra, and the set of derivatives the adjoint of a subset of traceless matrices. This is sufficient to calculate the dual 1-forms, and show that the space of…
