Motivated by questions about the typical sizes of gaps $|f(n+1)-f(n)|$ in the sequence $(f(n))_n$, where $f$ is an integer-valued multiplicative function, we investigate the set of solutions $$ \{n \in \mathbb{N} : f(n+a) = f(n) + b\},…
This paper proposes a novel and simple algorithm of facet enumeration for convex polytopes. The complexity of the algorithm is discussed. The algorithm is implemented in Matlab. Some simple polytopes with known H-representations and…
Using the braided version of Lawvere's algebraic theories and Mac Lane's PROPs, we introduce polynomial identities for arbitrary algebraic structures in a braided monoidal category C as well as their codimensions in the case when C is…
We consider discrete best approximation problems in the setting of tropical algebra, which is concerned with the theory and application of algebraic systems with idempotent operations. Given a set of input--output pairs of an unknown…
In this paper we investigate the decidability and complexity of problems related to braid composition. While all known problems for a class of braids with three strands, $B_3$, have polynomial time solutions we prove that a very natural…
Let $Q$ be a bipartite quiver with vertex set $Q_0$ such that the number of arrows between any source vertex and any sink vertex is constant. Let $\beta=(\beta(x))_{x \in Q_0}$ be a dimension vector of $Q$ with positive integer coordinates.…

In this article, we study connections between representation theory and efficient solutions to the conjugacy problem on finitely generated groups. The main focus is on the conjugacy problem in conjugacy separable groups, where we measure…
Let $\MP_d$ denote the space of polynomials $f: \C \to \C$ of degree $d\geq 2$, modulo conjugation by $\Aut(\C)$. Using properties of polynomial trees (as introduced in [DM, math.DS/0608759]), we show that if $f_n$ is a divergent sequence…
In this paper we present a unified framework for solving a general class of problems arising in the context of set-membership estimation/identification theory. More precisely, the paper aims at providing an original approach for the…
We investigate the structure of power-closed ideals of the complex polynomial ring $R = \mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$ and the Laurent polynomial ring $R^{\pm} = \mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_d]^{\pm} = M^{-1}\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$, where $M$…
We prove the \textbf{NP}-hardness, using Karp reductions, of some problems related to the correlation polytope and its corresponding cone, spanned by all of the $n\times n$ rank-one matrices over $\{0,1\}$. The problems are: membership,…
We characterize all monic polynomials $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ that have the property that \[f(p) \mid f(p^{p}),~\text{for all sufficiently large primes }p \geq N(f). \] We also give necessary conditions and a sufficient condition for monic…
In 1980, V. I. Arnold studied the classification problem for convex lattice polygons of a given area. Since then, this problem and its analogues have been studied by many authors, including B\'ar\'any, Lagarias, Pach, Santos, Ziegler and…
Let $X$ be a finite set in $Z^d$. We consider the problem of optimizing linear function $f(x) = c^T x$ on $X$, where $c\in Z^d$ is an input vector. We call it a problem $X$. A problem $X$ is related with linear program $\max\limits_{x \in…
Recently the authors presented a matrix representation approach to real Appell polynomials essentially determined by a nilpotent matrix with natural number entries. It allows to consider a set of real Appell polynomials as solution of a…
We prove global effective versions of the Brian\ccon-Skoda-Huneke theorem. Our results extend, to singular varieties, a result of Hickel on the membership problem in polynomial ideals in $\mathbf C^n$, and a related theorem of Ein and…
Let S be a basic closed semi-algebraic set in R^n and P the corresponding preordering in R[X_1,...,X_n]. We examine for which polynomials f there exist identities f+\ep q \in P for all \ep>0. These are precisely the elements of the…
The purpose of this note is to revisit the results of arXiv:1407.4324 from a slightly different perspective, outlining how, if the integral closures of a finite set of prime ideals abide the expected convexity patterns, then the existence…
This work studies the problem of maximizing a higher degree real homogeneous multivariate polynomial over the unit sphere. This problem is equivalent to finding the leading eigenvalue of the associated symmetric tensor of higher order,…
