Let $p_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ into parts containing no multiples of $r$ or $s$, where $r>1$ and $s>1$ are square-free, relatively prime integers. We use classical methods to derive a…

We give bounds for the number and the size of the primes $p$ such that a reduction modulo $p$ of a system of multivariate polynomials over the integers with a finite number $T$ of complex zeros, does not have exactly $T$ zeros over the…

We consider the {\em Deligne-Simpson problem}: {\em Give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $c_j\subset gl(n,{\bf C})$ or $C_j\subset GL(n,{\bf C})$, $j=1,..., p+1$, so that there exist irreducible…

Consider a random $n\times n$ zero-one matrix with "density" $p$, sampled according to one of the following two models: either every entry is independently taken to be one with probability $p$ (the "Bernoulli" model), or each row is…

I present here a pedagogical introduction to the works by Rashel Tublin and Yan V. Fyodorov on random linear systems with quadratic constraints, using tools from Random Matrix Theory and replicas. These notes illustrate and complement the…

It is a notorious open question whether integer programs (IPs), with an integer coefficient matrix $M$ whose subdeterminants are all bounded by a constant $\Delta$ in absolute value, can be solved in polynomial time. We answer this question…

Let $(G_n(x))_{n=0}^\infty$ be a $d$-th order linear recurrence sequence having polynomial characteristic roots, one of which has degree strictly greater than the others. Moreover, let $m\geq 2$ be a given integer. We ask for…

Rowland and Zeilberger devised an approach to algorithmically determine the modulo $p^r$ reductions of values of combinatorial sequences representable as constant terms (building on work of Rowland and Yassawi). The resulting $p$-schemes…

Linear systems are the bedrock of virtually all numerical computation. Machine learning poses specific challenges for the solution of such systems due to their scale, characteristic structure, stochasticity and the central role of…

Let $m$ be any positive integer and let $\delta_1,\delta_2\in\{1,-1\}$. We show that for some constanst $C_m>0$ there are infinitely many integers $n>1$ with $p_{n+m}-p_n\le C_m$ such that $$\left(\frac{p_{n+i}}{p_{n+j}}\right)=\delta_1\…

In the paper, some special linear combinations of the terms of rational cycles of generalized Collatz sequences are studied. It is proved that if the coefficients of the linear combinations satisfy some conditions then these linear…

Solution methods for linear equation systems in a commutative ring are discussed. Four methods are compared, in the setting of several different rings: Dodgson's method [1], Bareiss's method [2] and two methods of the author - method by…

Many integer sequences including the Catalan numbers, Motzkin numbers, and the Apr{\'e}y numbers can be expressed in the form ConstantTermOf$\left[P^nQ\right]$ for Laurent polynomials $P$ and $Q$. These are often called ``constant term…

We study methods for finding the solution set of a generic system in a family of polynomial systems with parametric coefficients. We present a framework for describing monodromy based solvers in terms of decorated graphs. Under the…

We give a strongly polynomial-time algorithm for integer linear programs defined by integer coefficient matrices whose subdeterminants are bounded by a constant and that contain at most two nonzero entries in each row. The core of our…

The Deligne-Simpson problem is formulated like this: give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $C_j\subset SL(n,{\bf C})$ or $c_j\subset sl(n,{\bf C})$ so that there exist irreducible $(p+1)$-tuples of…

A long-standing open question in Integer Programming is whether integer programs with constraint matrices with bounded subdeterminants are efficiently solvable. An important special case thereof are congruency-constrained integer programs…

Let $Q(x,y)$ be a quadratic form with discriminant $D\neq 0$. We obtain non trivial upper bound estimates for the number of solutions of the congruence $Q(x,y)\equiv\lambda \pmod{p}$, where $p$ is a prime and $x,y$ lie in certain intervals…

Let A= (a_{ij}) be a non-negative integer k x k matrix. A is a homogeneous matrix if a_{ij} + a_{kl}=a_{il} + a_{kj} for any choice of the four indexes. We ask: If A is a homogeneous matrix and if F is a form in C[x_1, \dots x_n] with…
