In this work we are interested in the Demyanov--Ryabova conjecture for a finite family of polytopes. The conjecture asserts that after a finite number of iterations (successive dualizations), either a 1-cycle or a 2-cycle eventually comes…

Let ${\cal P}_n^c$ denote the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $n$ with complex coefficients. Let $$D^+ := \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z| \leq 1, \, \, \Im(z) \geq 0\}$$ be the closed upper half-disk of the complex plane. For…

For a positive integer $n$ let $\mathfrak{P}_n=\prod_{s_p(n)\ge p} p,$ where $p$ runs over all primes and $s_p(n)$ is the sum of the base $p$ digits of $n$. For all $n$ we prove that $\mathfrak{P}_n$ is divisible by all "small" primes with…

The Schwartz-Zippel Lemma states that if a low-degree multivariate polynomial with coefficients in a field is not zero everywhere in the field, then it has few roots on every finite subcube of the field. This fundamental fact about…

For $n \geq 1$ let $ p_n $ denote the $n^{\rm th}$ prime number. Let $$S= \{1,7,11,13,17,19,23,29 \},$$ the set of positive integers which are both less than and relatively prime to $30.$ For $ x \geq 0,$ let \\ $T_x := \{ 30x+i \; | \; i…

We prove Polya's conjecture of 1943: For a real entire function of order greater than 2, with finitely many non-real zeros, the number of non-real zeros of the n-th derivative tends to infinity with n. We use the saddle point method and…

In this paper we shall show that there exists L_0 such that for each even integer L >= L_0 there exists $c_1 \in \rz$ for which the Julia set of $z --> z^L + c_1$ has positive Lebesgue measure. This solves an old problem. Editor's note: In…

From a sequence $\left\{ a_{n}\right\} _{n=0}^{\infty}$ of real numbers satisfying a three-term recurrence, we form a sequence of polynomials $\left\{ P_{m}(z)\right\} _{m=0}^{\infty}$ whose coefficients are numbers in this sequence. We…

Tuza's Conjecture states that if a graph $G$ does not contain more than $k$ edge-disjoint triangles, then some set of at most $2k$ edges meets all triangles of $G$. We prove Tuza's Conjecture for all graphs $G$ having no subgraph with…

In this paper, we investigate an upper bound of the polar derivative of a polynomial of degree $n$ $$p(z)=(z-z_m)^{t_m} (z-z_{m-1})^{t_{m-1}}\cdots (z-z_0)^{t_0}(a_0+\sum\limits_{\nu=\mu} ^{n-(t_m+\cdots+t_0)} a_{\nu}z^\nu)$$ where zeros…

Let an algebraic polynomial $P_n(\zeta)$ of degree $n$ be such that $|P_n(\zeta)|\le 1$ for $\zeta\in E\subset\mathbb{T}$ and $|E|\ge 2\pi -s$. We prove the sharp Remez inequality $$ \sup_{\zeta\in\mathbb{T}}|P_n(\zeta)|\le…

We define polynomials of one variable t whose values at t=0 and 1 are the multiple zeta values and the multiple zeta-star values, respectively. We give an application to the two-one conjecture of Ohno-Zudilin, and also prove the cyclic sum…

A conjecture of Min\'a\v{c} and T\^an predicts that for any n>2, any prime p and any field k, the Massey product of n Galois cohomology classes in H^1(k,Z/pZ) must vanish if it is defined. We establish this conjecture when k is a number…

This paper investigates the zero distribution of a sequence of polynomials $\left\{ P_{m}(z)\right\} _{m=0}^{\infty}$ generated by the reciprocal of $1+ct+B(z)t^{2}+A(z)t^{3}$ where $c\in\mathbb{R}$ and $A(z)$, $B(z)$ are real linear…

In this paper, we show that for any sequence ${\bf a}=(a_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ and any $\epsilon>0$, there exists a Toeplitz sequence ${\bf b}=(b_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ such that the entropy $h({\bf…

We give a new proof of the discretized ring theorem for sets of real numbers. As a special case, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}$ is a $(\delta,1/2)_1$-set in the sense of Katz and Tao, then either $A+A$ or $A.A$ must have measure at…

We review some known inclusion results for the roots of a polynomial, and adapt them to a conjecture recently presented by S. A. Vavasis. In particular, we provide strict upper and lower bounds to the distance of the closest root of a…

For a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $R_A(n)$ denote the number of ordered pairs $(a,a')\in A\times A$ such that $a+a'=n$. The celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Tur\'{a}n conjecture says that, if $R_A(n)\ge 1$ for all…

Let $P_{<n}(z)$ be the Rudin-Shapiro polynomial of degree $n-1$. We show that $|P_{<n}(z)|\le \sqrt{6n-2}-1$ for all $n\ge0$ and $|z|=1$, confirming a longstanding conjecture. This bound is sharp in the case when $n=(2\cdot 4^k+1)/3$ and…

The Paszkiewicz conjecture about a product of positive contractions asserts that given a decreasing sequence $T_1\ge T_2\ge \dots$ of positive contractions on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, the product $S_n=T_n\dots T_1$…
