This note mainly concerns the binomial power function, defined as $(1+x^q)^{r}$. We construct systems of polynomials related to non-local approximation, which allows us to establish the density results on $C[a,b]$, where $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$.…

Thom polynomials measure how global topology forces singularities. The power of Thom polynomials predestine them to be a useful tool not only in differential topology, but also in algebraic geometry (enumerative geometry, moduli spaces) and…

A function on a topological space is called unimodal if all of its super-level sets are contractible. A minimal unimodal decomposition of a function $f$ is the smallest number of unimodal functions that sum up to $f$. The problem of…
