Let $f_1,...,f_s \in \mathbb{K}[x_1,...,x_m]$ be a system of polynomials generating a zero-dimensional ideal $\I$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is an arbitrary algebraically closed field. Assume that the factor algebra $\A=\mathbb{K}[x_1,...,x_m]/\I$…

In this paper we study the equations of the elimination ideal associated with $n+1$ generic multihomogeneous polynomials defined over a product of projective spaces of dimension $n$. We first prove a duality property and then make this…

A new algorithm is presented for computing the largest degree invariant factor of the Sylvester matrix (with respect either to $x$ or $y$) associated to two polynomials $a$ and $b$ in $\mathbb F_q[x,y]$ which have no non-trivial common…

This paper contains sharp bounds on the coefficients of the polynomials $R$ and $S$ which solve the classical one variable B\'{e}zout identity $A R + B S = 1$, where $A$ and $B$ are polynomials with no common zeros. The bounds are expressed…

We study the Smith forms of matrices of the form $f(C_g)$ where $f(t),g(t)\in R[t]$, $C_g$ is the companion matrix of the (monic) polynomial $g(t)$, and $R$ is an elementary divisor domain. Prominent examples of such matrices are circulant…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $g(t) \in R[t]$ a monic polynomial. The commutative ring of polynomials $f(C_g)$ in the companion matrix $C_g$ of $g(t)$, where $f(t)\in R[t]$, is called the Companion Ring of $g(t)$. Special instances…

Given polynomials a(z) of degree m and b(z) of degree n, we represent the inverse to the Sylvester resultant matrix of a(z) and b(z), if this inverse exists, as a canonical sum of m+n dyadic matrices each of which is a rational function of…

Constructive methods for matrices of multihomogeneous (or multigraded) resultants for unmixed systems have been studied by Weyman, Zelevinsky, Sturmfels, Dickenstein and Emiris. We generalize these constructions to mixed systems, whose…

Sylvester's criterion characterizes positive definite (PD) and positive semidefinite (PSD) matrices without the need of eigendecomposition. It states that a symmetric matrix is PD if and only if all of its leading principal minors are…

We study the problem of representing multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients, which are nonnegative and strictly positive on finite semialgebraic sets, using rational sums of squares. We focus on the case of finite semialgebraic…

We consider hyper- and superelliptic equations $f(x)=by^m$ with unknowns x,y from the ring of S-integers of a given number field K. Here, f is a polynomial with S-integral coefficients of degree n with non-zero discriminant and b is a…

Sylvester doubles sums, introduced first by Sylvester are symmetric expressions of the roots of two polynomials. Sylvester's definition of double sums makes no sense in the presence of multiple roots, since the definition involves…

We construct and investigate certain (unbalanced) superalgebra structures on $\text{End}_K(V)$, with $K$ a field of characteristic $0$ and $V$ a finite dimensional $K$-vector space (of dimension $n\geq 2$). These structures are induced by a…

This paper gives an explicit method for computing the resultant of any sparse unmixed bivariate system with given support. We construct square matrices whose determinant is exactly the resultant. The matrices constructed are of hybrid…

Let $\mathbb K$ be a field of characteristic 0. Given $n$ linear forms in $R=\mathbb K[x_1,\ldots,x_k]$, with no two proportional, in one of our main results we show that the ideal $I\subset R$ generated by all $(n-2)$-fold products of…

Consider the algebra M(n,F) of n x n matrices over an infinite field F of arbitrary characteristic. An identity for M(n,F) with forms is such a polynomial in n x n generic matrices and in \sigma_k(x), 0<k\leq n, coefficients in the…

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group and let G'=[G,G] be its derived subgroup. Let (G,V) be a multiplicity free representation with a one dimensional quotient (see definition below). We prove that the algebra D(V)^{G'} of…

This paper introduces a framework to study discrete optimization problems which are parametric in the following sense: their constraint matrices correspond to matrices over the ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of polynomials in one variable. We…

We study bihomogeneous systems defining, non-zero dimensional, biprojective varieties for which the projection onto the first group of variables results in a finite set of points. To compute (with) the 0-dimensional projection and the…

In 1978, Frost and Storey asserted that a bivariate polynomial matrix is equivalent to its Smith normal form if and only if the reduced minors of all orders generate the unit ideal. In this paper, we first demonstrate by constructing an…
