We study the problem of determining a minimal set of generators for the polynomial algebra $\mathbb F_2[x_1,x_2,...,x_k]$ as a module over the mod-2 Steenrod algebra $\mathcal{A}$. In this paper, we give an explicit answer in terms of the…

Let $K = \mathbb{Q} (\alpha) $ be a pure number field generated by a complex root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible polynomial $ F(x) = x^{2^u\cdot 3^v}-m$, with $m \neq \pm 1$ a square free rational integer, $u$, and $v$ two positive…

Given a field $K$ and $n > 1$, we say that a polynomial $f \in K[x]$ has newly reducible $n$th iterate over $K$ if $f^{n-1}$ is irreducible over $K$, but $f^n$ is not (here $f^i$ denotes the $i$th iterate of $f$). We pose the problem of…

Let T be a finite subset of the complex unit circle S^1, and define f: S^1 -> S^1 by f(z) = z^d. Let CH(T) denote the convex hull of T. If card(T) = N > 2, then CH(T) defines a polygon with N sides. The N-gon CH(T) is called a…

Let $f(x)=x^{12}+ax^{6}+b\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$, with $ab\ne 0$. We say that $f(x)$ is {\em monogenic} if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots,\theta^{11}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of ${\mathbb…

We determine the density of monic integer polynomials of given degree $n>1$ that have squarefree discriminant; in particular, we prove for the first time that the lower density of such polynomials is positive. Similarly, we prove that the…

In this paper, we give error bounds on the number of monic irreducible polynomials $a_0+a_1x+\dots+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+x^n$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of degree $n$ with $(a_0, a_1, \dots, a_{n-1}, 1)$ lying in a fixed affine algebraic…

We consider the problem of computing critical points of the restriction of a polynomial map to an algebraic variety. This is of first importance since the global minimum of such a map is reached at a critical point. Thus, these points…

Let $G=\langle x^d+c_1,\dots,x^d+c_s\rangle$ be a semigroup generated under composition for some $c_1,\dots,c_s\in\mathbb{Z}$ and some $d\geq2$. Then we prove that, outside of an exceptional one-parameter family, $G$ contains a large and…

We examine affine correspondences of the form g(y)=f(x), for f and g polynomials satisfying deg(g) < deg(f), with the property that every critical point of the correspondence admits at least one finite forward orbit. In the case g(y)=y,…

An adaptive procedure for constructing polynomials which are biorthogonal to the basis of monomials in the same finite-dimensional inner product space is proposed. By taking advantage of available orthogonal polynomials, the proposed…

Let $f(x) = ax^d + b \in K[x]$ be a unicritical polynomial with degree $d \geq 2$ which is coprime to $\mathrm{char} K$. We provide an explicit presentation for the profinite iterated monodromy group of $f$, analyze the structure of this…

We present the formula for the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ where the coefficients of $x^{n-1}$ and $x$ vanish for $n\ge3$. In particular, we give a relation between rational…
