A degree-$d$ polynomial $p$ in $n$ variables over a field $\F$ is {\em equidistributed} if it takes on each of its $|\F|$ values close to equally often, and {\em biased} otherwise. We say that $p$ has a {\em low rank} if it can be expressed…

Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the finite field of prime order $p$. For any function $f \colon \mathbb{F}_p{}^n \to \mathbb{F}_p$, there exists a unique polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_p$ having degree at most $p-1$ with respect to each variable which…

We present a new method for obtaining norm bounds for random matrices, where each entry is a low-degree polynomial in an underlying set of independent real-valued random variables. Such matrices arise in a variety of settings in the…

We state a kind of Euclidian division theorem: given a polynomial P(x) and a divisor d of the degree of P, there exist polynomials h(x),Q(x),R(x) such that P(x) = h(Q(x)) +R(x), with deg h=d. Under some conditions h,Q,R are unique, and Q is…

The real type of a finite family of univariate polynomials characterizes the combined sign behavior of the polynomials over the real line. We derive an explicit formula for the number of real types subject to given degree bounds. For the…

Given a polynomial $x \in {\mathbb R}^n \mapsto p(x)$ in $n=2$ variables, a symbolic-numerical algorithm is first described for detecting whether the connected component of the plane sublevel set ${\mathcal P} = \{x : p(x) \geq 0\}$…

We consider the following problem: given a program, find tight asymptotic bounds on the values of some variables at the end of the computation (or at any given program point) in terms of its input values. We focus on the case of…

Solving polynomial equations is a subtask of polynomial optimization. This article introduces systems of such equations and the main approaches for solving them. We discuss critical point equations, algebraic varieties, and solution counts.…

We extend the method of Ghasemi and Marshall [SIAM. J. Opt. 22(2) (2012), pp 460-473], to obtain a lower bound $f_{{\rm gp},M}$ for a multivariate polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{R}[x]$ of degree $ \le 2d$ in $n$ variables $x = (x_1,...,x_n)$…

In this paper, we present a correct proof of an $L_p$-inequality concerning the polar derivative of a polynomial with restricted zeros. We also extend Zygmund's inequality to the polar derivative of a polynomial.

Many statistics of roots of random polynomials have been studied in the literature, but not much is known on the concentration aspect. In this note we present a systematic study of this question, aiming towards nearly optimal bounds to some…

We address some questions concerning indecomposable polynomials and their behaviour under specialization. For instance we give a bound on a prime $p$ for the reduction modulo $p$ of an indecomposable polynomial $P(x)\in \Zz[x]$ to remain…

The twisted $T$-adic exponential sum associated to a polynomial in one variable is studied. An explicit arithmetic polygon in terms of the highest two exponents of the polynomial is proved to be a lower bound of the Newton polygon of the…

This is a list of several open problems dealing mainly with univariate polynomials.

We prove a version of van der Corput's Lemma for polynomials over the p-adic numbers.

$f,g_1,...,g_m$ be elements of the polynomial ring $\mathbb{R}[x_1,...,x_n]$. The paper deals with the general problem of computing a lower bound for $f$ on the subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by the inequalities $g_i\ge 0$, $i=1,...,m$.…

An algorithm for computing the limit of a quotient of bivariate real analytic functions has been developed by one of the authors in (Limits of quotients of bivariate real analytic functions, Journal of Symbolic Computation, 50, 2013, 197…

In this paper, we investigate several properties of the solution maps of variational inequalities with polynomial data. First, we prove some facts on the $R_0$-property, the local boundedness, and the upper semicontinuity of the solution…

In this short note we obtain new lower bounds for the constants of the real Hardy--Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms on $\ell_{p}^{2}$ spaces when $p=2m$ and for certain values of $m$. The real and complex cases for the general…

In this paper, we present some explicit exponents in the estimates for the volumes of sub-level sets of polynomials on bounded sets, and applications to the decay of oscillatory integrals and the convergent of singular integrals.
