In this paper we solve the equation $f(g(x))=f(x)h^m(x)$ where $f(x)$, $g(x)$ and $h(x)$ are unknown polynomials with coefficients in an arbitrary field $K$, $f(x)$ is non-constant and separable, $\deg g \geq 2$, the polynomial $g(x)$ has…

We show that $\lim_{t \to 0} e^{it\Delta}f(x) = f(x)$ almost everywhere for all $f \in H^s (\mathbb{R}^2)$ provided that $s>1/3$. This result is sharp up to the endpoint. The proof uses polynomial partitioning and decoupling.

We show that, for a system of univariate polynomials given in sparse encoding, we can compute a single polynomial defining the same zero set, in time quasi-linear in the logarithm of the degree. In particular, it is possible to determine…

Cilleruelo conjectured that for an irreducible polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ of degree $d \geq 2$, denoting $$L_f(N)=\mathrm{lcm}(f(1),f(2),\ldots f(N))$$ one has $$\log L_f(n)\sim(d-1)N\log N.$$ He proved it in the case $d=2$ but it…

In this paper, we examine how far a polynomial in $\mathbb{F}_2[x]$ can be from a squarefree polynomial. For any $\epsilon>0$, we prove that for any polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{F}_2[x]$ with degree $n$, there exists a squarefree polynomial…

We use the polynomial method of Guth and Katz to establish stronger and {\it more efficient} regularity and density theorems for such $k$-uniform hypergraphs $H=(P,E)$, where $P$ is a finite point set in ${\mathbb R}^d$, and the edge set…

We prove that the Fourier dimension of any Boolean function with Fourier sparsity $s$ is at most $O\left(s^{2/3}\right)$. Our proof method yields an improved bound of $\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{s})$ assuming a conjecture of…

We consider solutions to the equation f = h^r for polynomials f and h and integer r > 1. Given a polynomial f in the lacunary (also called sparse or super-sparse) representation, we first show how to determine if f can be written as h^r…

For any real numbers $B \ge 1$ and $\delta \in (0, 1)$ and function $f: [0, B] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, let $d_{B; \delta} (f) \in \mathbb{Z}_{> 0}$ denote the minimum degree of a polynomial $p(x)$ satisfying $\sup_{x \in [0, B]} \big| p(x)…

An old conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and R\'enyi, proved by Schinzel, predicted a bound for the number of terms of a polynomial $g(x) \in \mathbb{C}[x]$ when its square $g(x)^2$ has a given number of terms. Further conjectures and results arose,…

Assume that $V_h$ is a space of piecewise polynomials of degree less than $r\geq 1$ on a family of quasi-uniform triangulation of size $h$. Then the following well-known upper bound holds for a sufficiently smooth function $u$ and $p\in [1,…

We give tight bounds on the degree $\ell$ homogenous parts $f_\ell$ of a bounded function $f$ on the cube. We show that if $f: \{\pm 1\}^n \rightarrow [-1,1]$ has degree $d$, then $\| f_\ell \|_\infty$ is bounded by $d^\ell/\ell!$, and $\|…

For any fixed field $K\!\in\!\{\mathbb{Q}_2,\mathbb{Q}_3,\mathbb{Q}_5, \ldots\}$, we prove that all polynomials $f\!\in\!\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with exactly $3$ (resp. $2$) monomial terms, degree $d$, and all coefficients having absolute value at…

We show an equivalence between 1-query quantum algorithms and representations by degree-2 polynomials. Namely, a partial Boolean function $f$ is computable by a 1-query quantum algorithm with error bounded by $\epsilon<1/2$ iff $f$ can be…

We will give new upper bounds for the number of solutions to the inequalities of the shape $|F(x , y)| \leq h$, where $F(x , y)$ is a sparse binary form, with integer coefficients, and $h$ is a sufficiently small integer in terms of the…

Submodular and fractionally subadditive (or equivalently XOS) functions play a fundamental role in combinatorial optimization, algorithmic game theory and machine learning. Motivated by learnability of these classes of functions from random…

In this paper, we provide an efficient method for computing the Taylor coefficients of $1-p_n f$, where $p_n$ denotes the optimal polynomial approximant of degree $n$ to $1/f$ in a Hilbert space $H^2_\omega$ of analytic functions over the…

The expansion of bivariate polynomials is well-understood for sets with a linear-sized product set. In contrast, not much is known for sets with small sumset. In this work, we provide expansion bounds for polynomials of the form $f(x, y) =…

We present a new approach to the ideal membership problem for polynomial rings over the integers: given polynomials $f_0,f_1,...,f_n\in\Z[X]$, where $X=(X_1,...,X_N)$ is an $N$-tuple of indeterminates, are there $g_1,...,g_n\in\Z[X]$ such…

We prove decomposition theorems for sparse positive (semi)definite polynomial matrices that can be viewed as sparsity-exploiting versions of the Hilbert--Artin, Reznick, Putinar, and Putinar--Vasilescu Positivstellens\"atze. First, we…
