Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the finite field of prime order $p$. For any function $f \colon \mathbb{F}_p{}^n \to \mathbb{F}_p$, there exists a unique polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_p$ having degree at most $p-1$ with respect to each variable which…

Many-to-one mappings and permutation polynomials over finite fields have important applications in cryptography and coding theory. In this paper, we study the many-to-one property of a large class of polynomials such as $f(x) = h(a x^q + b…

We prove a function-field analogue of Bourgain's $L^2$ pointwise ergodic theorem. Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$, let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the ring of polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $\mathbb{F}_q[t][u]$ be the…

This paper presents an innovative approach, the Adaptive Orthogonal Basis Method, tailored for computing multiple solutions to differential equations characterized by polynomial nonlinearities. Departing from conventional practices of…

Orthogonal polynomials have very useful properties in the solution of mathematical problems, so recent years have seen a great deal in the field of approximation theory using orthogonal polynomials. In this paper, we characterize the…

Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p>0$. We prove that, given $F(t,x)\in \F_q[t][x]$ an irreducible separable monic polynomial in the variable $x$ and a generic monic polynomial $\phi(t)$ in the variable $t$, the polynomial…

In this paper we consider the characteristic polynomial of not necessarily ranked posets. We do so by allowing the rank to be an arbitrary function from the poset to the nonnegative integers. We will prove two results showing that the…

We prove that Sarnak's conjecture holds for any infinite measure symbolic rank-one map. We further extended Bourgain-Sarnak's result, which says that the M\"{o}bius function is a good weight for the ergodic theorem, to maps acting on…

We consider orthogonal polynomials on the surface of a double cone or a hyperboloid of revolution, either finite or infinite in axis direction, and on the solid domain bounded by such a surface and, when the surface is finite, by…

We prove Sarnak's M\"obius disjointness conjecture for all unipotent translations on homogeneous spaces of real connected Lie groups. Namely, we show that if $G$ is any such group, $\Gamma\subset G$ a lattice, and $u\in G$ an Ad-unipotent…

In this survey article, we review some results and conjectures related to orthogonal polynomials on Cantor sets. The main purpose of this paper is to emphasize the role of equilibrium measures in order to have a general theory of…

We introduce and analyse a general class of not necessarily bounded multiplicative functions, examples of which include the function $n \mapsto \delta^{\omega (n)}$, where $\delta \neq 0$ and where $\omega$ counts the number of distinct…

We determine the M\"obius function of the poset of compositions of an integer. In fact we give two proofs of this formula, one using an involution and one involving discrete Morse theory. The composition poset turns out to be intimately…

Recursive algebraic construction of two infinite families of polynomials in $n$ variables is proposed as a uniform method applicable to every semisimple Lie group of rank $n$. Its result recognizes Chebyshev polynomials of the first and…

We extend Theorem 1 of R. Reams, A Galois approach to m-th roots of matrices with rational entries, LAA 258 (1997), 187-194. Let $p(\lambda)$ be any polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $A\in M_n(\mathbb{Q})$ have irreducible characteristic…

The paper is devoted to the further study of the remarkable classes of orthogonal polynomials recently discovered by Bender and Dunne. We show that these polynomials can be generated by solutions of arbitrary quasi - exactly solvable…

We discuss equivariance for linear liftings of measurable functions. Existence is established when a transformation group acts amenably, as e.g. the Moebius group of the projective line. Since the general proof is very simple but not…

The M\"obius function of the subgroup lattice of a finite group has been introduced by Hall and applied to investigate several questions. In this paper, we consider the M\"obius function defined on an order ideal related to the lattice of…
