If $f$ is a nonzero Bohr almost periodic function on $\mathbb R$ with a bounded spectrum we prove there exist $C_f > 0$ and integer $n > 0$ such that for every $u > 0$ the mean measure of the set $\{\, x \, : \, |f(x)| < u \, \}$ is less…

In this work we apply the techniques that were developed in [Lalin: An algebraic integration for Mahler measure] in order to study several examples of multivariable polynomials whose Mahler measure is expressed in terms of special values of…

We investigate the continued fraction expansion of the infinite products $g(x) = x^{-1}\prod_{t=0}^\infty P(x^{-d^t})$ where polynomials $P(x)$ satisfy $P(0)=1$ and $\deg(P)<d$. We construct relations between partial quotients of $g(x)$…

We study the maximum modulus set, $\mathcal{M}(p)$, of a polynomial $p$. We are interested in constructing $p$ so that $\mathcal{M}(p)$ has certain exceptional features. Jassim and London gave a cubic polynomial $p$ such that…

We prove a conjecture of Boyd and Rodriguez Villegas relating the Mahler measure of the polynomial $(1+x)(1+y)+z$ and the value at $s=3$ of the $L$-function of an elliptic curve of conductor $15$. The proof makes use of the computation by…

A number of authors have proven explicit versions of Lehmer's conjecture for polynomials whose coefficients are all congruent to 1 modulo m. We prove a similar result for polynomials f(X) that are divisible in (Z/mZ)[X] by a polynomial of…

After defining a notion of $\epsilon$-density, we provide for any real algebraic number $\alpha$ an estimate of the smallest $\epsilon$ such that for each $m>1$ the set of vectors of the form $(t,t\alpha,...,t\alpha^{m-1})$ for $t\in\R$ is…

This paper addresses a long standing open problem due to Lehmer in which the triple 2,3,7 plays a notable role. Lehmer's problem asks whether there is a gap between 1 and the next smallest algebraic integer with respect to Mahler measure.…

We establish a functional identity for Mahler measures of the two-parametric family $P_{a,c}(x,y)=a(x+1/x)+y+1/y+c$. Our result extends an identity proven in a paper of Lal\'{i}n, Zudilin and Samart. As a by-product, we obtain evaluations…

We define generalised equations of Z-Mahler type, based on the Zeckendorf numeration system. We show that if a sequence over a commutative ring is Z-regular, then it is the sequence of coefficients of a series which is a solution of a…

Given a $k$-variable Laurent polynomial $F$, any $l\times k$ integer matrix $A$ naturally defines an $l$-variable Laurent polynomial $F_A.$ I prove that for fixed $F$ the set $\mathcal M(F)$ of all the logarithmic Mahler measures $m(F_A)$…

We study the set $\mathcal{L}_{F}$ of all $F$-vector spaces $L(P)$ where $P$ is monic and splits over $F$ and $L(Q)$ denotes the set of linear recurrence sequences over $F$ with characteristic polynomial $Q$. We show that $\mathcal{L}_{F}$…

In this paper we study the density of polynomials in some $L^2(M)$ spaces. Two choices of the measure $M$ and polynomials are considered: 1) a $(N\times N)$ matrix non-negative Borel measure on $\mathbb{R}$ and vector-valued polynomials…
