We seek random versions of some classical theorems on complex approximation by polynomials and rational functions, as well as investigate properties of random compact sets in connection to complex approximation.

Analytical expressions are derived for the number of fractions with equal numerators in the Farey sequence of order $n$, $F_n$, and in the truncated Farey sequence $F_n^{1/k}$ containing all Farey fractions below $1/k$, with $1\leq k \leq…

In a nutshell, submodular functions encode an intuitive notion of diminishing returns. As a result, submodularity appears in many important machine learning tasks such as feature selection and data summarization. Although there has been a…

We present a new method for proving non-holonomicity of sequences, which is based on results about the number of zeros of elementary and of analytic functions. Our approach is applicable to sequences that are defined as the values of an…

Linearity and ramification constraints have been widely used to weaken higher-order (primitive) recursion in such a way that the class of representable functions equals the class of polytime functions. We show that fine-tuning these two…

Linearization is a standard approach in the computation of eigenvalues, eigenvectors and invariant subspaces of matrix polynomials and rational matrix value functions. An important source of linearizations are the so called Fiedler…

An improved multi-summation approach is introduced and discussed that enables one to simultaneously handle indefinite nested sums and products in the setting of difference rings and holonomic sequences. Relevant mathematics is reviewed and…

We introduce a new notion of computable function on $\R^N$ and prove some basic properties. We give two applications, first a short proof of Yoshinaga's theorem that periods are \el (they are actually low). We also show that the low complex…

Resolving a conjecture of Zhi-Wei Sun, we prove that every rational number can be represented as a sum of distinct unit fractions whose denominators are practical numbers. The same method applies to allowed denominators that are closed…

Let $n>m>k$ be positive integers and let $a,b,c$ be nonzero rational numbers. We consider the reducibility of some special quadrinomials $x^n+ax^m+bx^k+c$ with $n=4$ and 5, which related to the study of rational points on certain elliptic…

Let $r_1,\ldots,r_s:\mathbb{Z}_{n\geqslant 0}\to\mathbb{C}$ be linearly recurrent sequences whose associated eigenvalues have arguments in $\pi\mathbb{Q}$ and let $F(z):=\sum_{n\geqslant 0}f(n)z^n$, where $f(n)\in\{r_1(n),\ldots,$…

Prediction without justification has limited applicability. As a remedy, we learn to extract pieces of input text as justifications -- rationales -- that are tailored to be short and coherent, yet sufficient for making the same prediction.…

Expanding upon recent work, a new class of $A$-functions is introduced that can be viewed as an appropriate generalization of the class of regular $A$-functions, the class of structured $A$-functions, and the class of perfect $A$-functions.…

Complex functions have multiple uses in various fields of study, so analyze their characteristics it is of extensive interest to other sciences. This work begins with a particular class of rational functions of a complex variable; over this…

A unit fraction representation of a rational number $r$ is a finite sum of reciprocals of positive integers that equals $r$. Of particular interest is the case when all denominators in the representation are distinct, resulting in an…

Let K be a non-archimedean field, and let f in K(z) be a rational function of degree d>1. If f has potentially good reduction, we give an upper bound, depending only on d, for the minimal degree of an extension L/K such that f is conjugate…

We establish a general result on the existence of partially defined semiconjugacies between rational functions acting on the Riemann sphere. The semiconjugacies are defined on the complements to at most one-dimensional sets. They are…

We prove new upper bounds on the number of representations of rational numbers $\frac{m}{n}$ as a sum of $4$ unit fractions, giving five different regions, depending on the size of $m$ in terms of $n$. In particular, we improve the most…

The termination method of weakly monotonic algebras, which has been defined for higher-order rewriting in the HRS formalism, offers a lot of power, but has seen little use in recent years. We adapt and extend this method to the alternative…

For R(z, w) rational with complex coefficients, of degree at least 2 in w, we show that the number of rational functions f(z) solving the difference equation f(z+1)=R(z, f(z)) is finite and bounded just in terms of the degrees of R in the…
