The Gasca-Maeztu conjecture for the case $n=4$ was proved for the first time in [J. R. Busch, A note on Lagrange interpolation in $\mathbb{R}^2$, Rev. Un. Mat. Argentina, 36 (1990) 33--38]. Here we bring a short and simple proof of it.
Under a map T, a point x recurs at rate given by a sequence {r_n} near a point x_0 if d(T^n(x),x_0)< r_n infinitely often. Let us fix x_0, and consider the set of those x's. In this paper, we study the size of this set for expanding maps…
Why not have a computer just draw a map? This is something you hear a lot when people talk about gerrymandering, and it's easy to think at first that this could solve redistricting altogether. But there are more than a couple problems with…
Based on many experts' former work in the Jacobian conjecture and an essential analysis of intrinsic topology of linear maps, I completely prove the Jacobian conjecture by demonstrating the injectivity of real Keller map of any…
In 1968, Ringel and Youngs solved the remaining cases of the orientable Map Color Theorem by finding genus embeddings of the complete graphs $K_n$, for sufficiently large $n \equiv 2, 8, 11 \pmod{12}$. Following the approach previously…
We introduce a new game played on graphs, ``Agents and Adversary". This game is reminiscent of ``Cops and Robbers" but has some fundamental differences. We classify infinite families of graphs as Agents-win and Adversary-win. We then define…
Humans are expert explorers. Understanding the computational cognitive mechanisms that support this efficiency can advance the study of the human mind and enable more efficient exploration algorithms. We hypothesize that humans explore new…
We present the history of fourth order metric theories of gravitation from its beginning in 1918 until 1988.
The "Millennium Prize Problems" have a place in the history of mathematics. Here we tell some little-known anecdotes from the perspective of the planner of that project. These stories are far from their end; more likely they are just at…
Radio maps provide metrics such as the received signal strength at every location in a geographical region of interest. Extensive research has been carried out in this context, but it relies almost exclusively on synthetic-data experiments.…
The iteration of rational maps is well-understood in dimension 1 but less so in higher dimensions. We study some maps on spaces of matrices which present a weak complexity with respect to the ring structure. First we give some properties of…
We present our results from the Southern Galactic Plane Survey, an effort to map the fourth quadrant of the Milky Way in linear polarization at a frequency of 1.4 GHz and at a resolution of 1-2 arcmin. These data are a powerful probe of…
Explicit area expressions are known for a special case, due to Tao & Wu (1987), and lead to calculation of integrals in applied probability.
We perform laboratory experiments to elucidate the role of historical information in games involving human coordination. Our approach follows prior work studying human network coordination using the task of graph coloring. We first motivate…
This paper studies incomplete-information games in which an information provider, an oracle, publicly discloses information to the players. One oracle is said to dominate another if, in every game, it can replicate the equilibrium outcomes…
In this paper we present a class of four-dimensional bi-rational maps with two invariants satisfying certain constraints on degrees. We discuss the integrability properties of these maps from the point of view of degree growth and Liouville…
In the first part, by the first author's work of 1972, an integral representation for an ultraspherical polynomial of higher index in terms of one of lower index and an infinite series was obtained. While this representation works well from…
After a brief discussion of the history of the problem, we propose a generalization of the map colouring problem to higher dimensions.
Short information about the conference in 1960 in Jerusalem is presented together with an interesting photo where we can find several famous mathematicians participated in this conference. To recognize the people on the photo and collect…
A polyhedral map is called $\{p, q\}$-equivelar if each face has $p$ edges and each vertex belongs to $q$ faces. In 1983, it was shown that there exist infinitely many geometrically realizable $\{p, q\}$-equivelar polyhedral maps if $q > p…
