A characterization is given of those sequences of quasi-orthogonal polynomials which form also $q$-Appell sets.

We present an explicit polynomial formula for evaluating the principal logarithm of all matrices lying on the line segment $\{I(1-t)+At:t\in [0,1]\}$ joining the identity matrix $I$ (at $t=0$) to any real matrix $A$ (at $t=1$) having no…

Following the approach by R. K\"otter and F. R. Kschischang, we study network codes as families of k-dimensional linear subspaces of a vector space F_q^n, q being a prime power and F_q the finite field with q elements. In particular,…

We consider the group M of all polynomial matrices U(z) = U0 + U1*z + U2*z*z +...+Uk*z*...*z, k=0,1,... that satisfy equation U(z)*D*U(z)" = D with the diagonal n*n matrix D=diag{-1,1,1,...1}. Here n > 1, U(z)" = U0" + U1"*z + U2"*z*z +…

Restricted Whitney numbers of the first kind appear in the combinatorial recursion for the matroid Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. In the special case of braid matroids (the matroid associated to the partition lattice, the complete graph, the…

We determine all permutation polynomials among several families of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ for arbitrary prime powers $q$. We obtain some new families of permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ with simple coefficients…

We study the structure of nilpotent subsemigroups in the semigroup $M(n,\mathbb{F})$ of all $n\times n$ matrices over a field, $\mathbb{F}$, with respect to the operation of the usual matrix multiplication. We describe the maximal…

We consider natural polynomial truncations of hypergeometric power series defined over finite fields. For these truncations, we establish asymptotic upper bounds of order $O(p^{11/12})$ on the number of roots in the prime field…

Motivated by many recent constructions of permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$, we study permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ in terms of their coefficients. Based on the multivariate method and resultant elimination,…

It is well-known that the representation theory of the finite group of unipotent upper-triangular matrices $U_n$ over a finite field is a wild problem. By instead considering approximately irreducible representations (supercharacters), one…

We determine explicitly the Gauss sums on the general linear group $GL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^l\mathbb{Z})$ for all irreducible characters, where $p$ is an odd prime and $l$ is an integer > 1. While there are several studies of the Gauss sums on…

Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…

We compute new polynomials with Galois group $M_{11}$ over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$. These polynomials stem from various families of covers of $\mathbb{P}^1\mathbb{C}$ ramified over at least 4 points. Each of these families has features that make a…

We estimate the norms of many matrix coefficients of irreducible uniformly bounded representations of SL(2, R) as completely bounded multipliers of the Fourier algebra. Our results suggest that the known inequality relating the uniformly…

We compute the completion of the groups SL_n(Z[t]) and SL_n(Z[t,t^{-1}]) relative to the obvious homomorphisms to SL_n(Q); this is a generalization of the classical Malcev completion. We also make partial computations of the rational second…

Let K, K' be convex cones residing in finite-dimensional real vector spaces E, E'. An element in the tensor product E \otimes E' is K \otimes K'-separable if it can be represented as finite sum \sum_l x_l \otimes x'_l with x_l \in K and…
