Let S be a basic closed semi-algebraic set in R^n and P the corresponding preordering in R[X_1,...,X_n]. We examine for which polynomials f there exist identities f+\ep q \in P for all \ep>0. These are precisely the elements of the…

We introduce a notion of Lorentzian proper position in close analogy to proper position of stable polynomials. Using this notion, we give a new characterization of elementary quotients of M-convex function that parallels the Lorentzian…

In this work, we explore the relation between the tropicalization of a real semi-algebraic set $S = \{ f_1 < 0, \dots , f_k < 0\}$ defined in the positive orthant and the combinatorial properties of the defining polynomials $f_1, \dots,…

Let $(L, v_L) / (K, v_K)$ be a finite or purely transcendental extension of real valued fields. We construct the associated integral cotangent and log cotangent complexes in terms of a MacLane-Vaqui\'e chain approximating $v_L$. This leads…

We study multivariate normal models that are described by linear constraints on the inverse of the covariance matrix. Maximum likelihood estimation for such models leads to the problem of maximizing the determinant function over a…

In this paper, we study the stability of the conical K\"ahler-Ricci flows on Fano manifolds. That is, if there exists a conical K\"ahler-Einstein metric with cone angle $2\pi\beta$ along the divisor, then for any $\beta'$ sufficiently close…

Strongly log-concave (SLC) distributions are a rich class of discrete probability distributions over subsets of some ground set. They are strictly more general than strongly Rayleigh (SR) distributions such as the well-known determinantal…

Motivated by some applications in signal processing and machine learning, we consider two convex optimization problems where, given a cone $K$, a norm $\|\cdot\|$ and a smooth convex function $f$, we want either 1) to minimize the norm over…

High-curvature observables in incompressible flows, including $k^4$-weighted spectra, can arise from explicit internal rotation, elimination of a fast spin variable, or polynomial higher-gradient closure. Building on a retained-spin…

Let T be the unit circle in the complex plane C. This paper proves the existence of analytic structure in a compact subset K of T X C^n, where K has so-called "lineally convex" or "hypoconvex" fibers over T. It also addresses a related…

In this paper we prove the strong $q$-log-convexity of the Eulerian polynomials of Coxeter groups using their exponential generating functions. Our proof is based on the theory of exponential Riordan arraya and a criterion for determining…

Recently, the Wang et al. \cite{wwrq} proposed a coefficient conjecture for the family ${\mathcal S}_H^0(K)$ of $K$-quasiconformal harmonic mappings $f = h + \overline{g}$ that are sense-preserving and univalent, where…

We prove that for a polynomial $f\in k[x,y,z]$ equivalent are: (1)$f$ is a $k[z]$-coordinate of $k[z][x,y]$, and (2) $k[x,y,z]/(f)\cong k^{[2]}$ and $f(x,y,a)$ is a coordinate in $k[x,y]$ for some $a\in k$. This solves a special case of the…

A classical result of Kahn and Saks states that given any partially ordered set with two distinguished elements, the number of linear extensions in which the ranks of the distinguished elements differ by $k$ is log-concave as a function of…

Let K be a closed bounded convex subset of $\Bbb R^n$; then by a result of the first author, which extends a classical theorem of Whitney there is a constant $w_m(K)$ so that for every continuous function f on K there is a polynomial $\phi$…

We investigate threshold phenomena for random polytopes $K_N=\conv\{X_1,\dots,X_N\}$ generated by i.i.d.\ samples from an atomic law $\mu$. We identify and provide a missing justification in the discrete-hypercube threshold argument of…

The existence of a finite global attractor for polynomial curve system has been known since the work of Belk et al. [4]. However, except in the hyperbolic case, the rate at which the pullback of a curve under a polynomial converges to the…

We consider a $C^{1,\alpha}$ smooth flow in $\mathbb{R}^n$ which is "strongly monotone" with respect to a cone $C$ of rank $k$, a closed set that contains a linear subspace of dimension $k$ and no linear subspaces of higher dimension. We…

Recently, based on the idea of randomizing space theory, random convex analysis has been being developed in order to deal with the corresponding problems in random environments such as analysis of conditional convex risk measures and the…
