We consider the problem of the reconstruction of a Schwarz matrix from exactly one given eigenvalue. This inverse eigenvalue problem leads to the Jacobi orthogonal polynomials~$\{P_k^{(-n,n)}\}_{k=0}^{n-1}$ that can be treated as a discrete…

We derive exact values and new bounds for the Shannon capacity of two families of graphs: the $q$-Kneser graphs and the tadpole graphs. We also construct a countably infinite family of connected graphs whose Shannon capacity is not attained…

In this paper, we give characterization of quadratic $\varepsilon-$canonical number system ($\varepsilon-$CNS) polynomials for all values $\varepsilon \in\lbrack0,1)$. Our characterization provides a unified view of the well-known…

Culler-Shalen theory uses the algebraic geometry of the SL(2,C)-character variety of a 3-manifold to construct essential surfaces in the manifold. There are module structures associated to the coordinate rings of the irreducible components…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field. We show that given any $n$th degree monic polynomial $q(x)\in \mathbb{F}[x]$ and any matrix $A\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ whose trace coincides with the trace of $q(x)$ and consisting in its main diagonal of…

Form an $n \times n$ matrix by drawing entries independently from $\{\pm1\}$ (or another fixed nontrivial finitely supported distribution in $\mathbf{Z}$) and let $\phi$ be the characteristic polynomial. Conditionally on the extended…

In this paper we propose a way to construct classical type Sobolev orthogonal polynomials. We consider two families of hypergeometric polynomials: ${}_2 F_2(-n,1;q,r;x)$ and ${}_3 F_2(-n,n-1+a+b,1;a,c;x)$ ($a,b,c,q,r>0$, $n=0,1,...$), which…

We present and study two families of polynomials with coefficients in the center of the universal enveloping algebra. These polynomials are analogues of a determinant and a characteristic polynomial of a certain non-commutative matrix,…

The space of shapes of a polyhedron with given total angles less than 2\pi at each of its n vertices has a Kaehler metric, locally isometric to complex hyperbolic space CH^{n-3}. The metric is not complete: collisions between vertices take…

In this paper, we construct the supersymmetric spinning polynomials. These are orthogonal polynomials that serve as an expansion basis for the residue or discontinuity of four-point scattering amplitudes, respecting four-dimensional super…

Differential properties for orthogonal polynomials in several variables are studied. We consider multivariate orthogonal polynomials whose gradients satisfy some quasi--orthogonality conditions. We obtain several characterizations for these…

We study characteristic polynomials of symmetric matrices with entries ${i+j\choose i}$ the binomial coefficients, over finite fields.

Let R and S be two irreducible root systems spanning the same vector space and having the same Weyl group W, such that S (but not necessarily R) is reduced. For each such pair (R,S) we construct a family of W-invariant orthogonal…

We offer the following explanation of the statement of the Kuratowski graph planarity criterion and of 6/7 of the statement of the Robertson-Seymour-Thomas intrinsic linking criterion. Let us call a cell complex 'dichotomial' if to every…

In this paper we introduce a polynomial frame on the unit sphere $\sph$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$, for which every distribution has a wavelet-type decomposition. More importantly, we prove that many function spaces on the sphere $\sph$, such as…

We investigate an infinite sequence of polynomials of the form: \[a_0T_{n}(x)+a_{1}T_{n-1}(x)+\cdots+a_{m}T_{n-m}(x)\] where $(a_0,a_1,\ldots,a_m)$ is a fixed m-tuple of real numbers, $a_0,a_m\ne0$, $T_i(x)$ are Chebyshev polynomials of the…

We study the class of polynomials that map a local field (i.e., the completion of a number field at a non-Archimedean place) into the subset of its $p$-th powers, where $p$ is the residue characteristic of the field in question. We present…

We construct new examples of exceptional Hahn and Jacobi polynomials. Exceptional polynomials are orthogonal polynomials with respect to a measure which are also eigenfunctions of a second order difference or differential operator. The most…

We show that nonlinear optimization techniques can successfully be applied to realize and to inscribe matroid polytopes and simplicial spheres. Thus we obtain a complete classification of neighborly polytopes of dimension $4$, $6$ and $7$…

It was proved by Giambruno-Sehgal and Chang that the double Capelli polynomial of total degree $4n$ is a polynomial identity for the algebra of n by n matrices over a field F. Using a strengthened version of this result obtained by Domokos,…
