We prove that a general polynomial vector $(f_1, f_2, f_3)$ in three homogeneous variables of degrees $(3,3,4)$ has a unique Waring decomposition of rank 7. This is the first new case we are aware, and likely the last one, after five…

A binarization of a bounded variable $x$ is a linear formulation with variables $x$ and additional binary variables $y_1,\dots, y_k$, so that integrality of $x$ is implied by the integrality of $y_1,\dots, y_k$. A binary extended…

Two variational formulas for the power of the binary hypothesis testing problem are derived. The first is given as the Legendre transform of a certain function and the second, induced from the first, is given in terms of the Cumulative…

In this paper we obtain sharp results for Waring's problem over general finite rings, by using a combination of Artin-Wedderburn theory and Hensel's lemma and building on new proofs of analogous results over finite fields that are achieved…

The problem of minimizing a multilinear function of binary variables is a well-studied NP-hard problem. The set of solutions of the standard linearization of this problem is called the multilinear set. We study a cardinality constrained…

We revisit recent work of Heath-Brown on the average order of the quantity r(L_1)r(L_2)r(L_3)r(L_4), for suitable binary linear forms L_1,..., L_4, for integers ranging over quite general regions. In addition to improving the error term in…

We establish basic facts about the varieties of homogeneous polynomials divisible by powers of linear forms, and explain consequences for geometric complexity theory. This includes quadratic set-theoretic equations, a description of the…

We generalize an example, due to Sylvester, and prove that any monomial of degree $d$ in $\mathbb R[x_0, x_1]$, which is not a power of a variable, cannot be written as a linear combination of fewer than $d$ powers of linear forms.

It is shown that a trivial version of polarization is sufficient to produce separating systems of polynomial invariants: if two points in the direct sum of the $G$--modules $W$ and $m$ copies of $V$ can be separated by polynomial…

We show how well known tools of algebraic geometry for the study of finite sets can be fruitfully applied to the study of Waring decompositions of symmetric tensors (forms). We mainly focus on the uniqueness of a given decomposition (the…

The paper considers the problem of finding the number of dominant voters in two-level voting procedures. At the first stage, voting is conducted among local groups of voters, and at the second stage, the results are aggregated to form a…

We study the existence of nontrivial weak solutions for a class of generalized $p(x)$-biharmonic equations with singular nonlinearity and Navier boundary condition. The proofs combine variational and topological arguments. The approach…

The bivariate difference field provides an algebraic framework for a sequence satisfying a recurrence of order two. Based on this, we focus on sequences satisfying a recurrence of higher order, and consider the multivariate difference…

We present various generalizations of the Dirac formalism. The different-parity solutions of the Weinberg's 2(2J+1)-component equations are found. On this basis, generalizations of the Bargmann-Wigner (BW) formalism are proposed. Relations…

If f(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n) is a polynomial dependent on a large number of independent Bernoulli random variables, what can be said about the maximum concentration of f on any single value? For linear polynomials, this reduces to one version…

We examine the problem of writing every sufficiently large even number as the sum of two primes and at most $K$ powers of 2. We outline an approach that only just falls short of improving the current bounds on $K$. Finally, we improve the…

A pattern p (i.e., a string of variables and terminals) matches a word w, if w can be obtained by uniformly replacing the variables of p by terminal words. The respective matching problem, i.e., deciding whether or not a given pattern…

Let $R_s(n)$ denote the number of representations of the positive number $n$ as the sum of two squares and $s$ biquadrates. When $s=3$ or $4$, it is established that the anticipated asymptotic formula for $R_s(n)$ holds for all $n\le X$…

We study a class of bivariate deformed Hermite polynomials and some of their properties using classical analytic techniques and the Wigner map. We also prove the positivity of certain determinants formed by the deformed polynomials. Along…

Non-alternating Hamiltonian Lie algebras in three variables over a perfect field of characteristic 2 are considered. A classification of non-alternating Hamiltonian forms over an algebra of divided powers in three variables and of the…
