In this article we compute the $q$th power values of the quadratic polynomials $f$ with negative squarefree discriminant such that $q$ is coprime to the class number of the splitting field of $f$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. The theory of unique…
In this article we apply a formula for the $n$-th power of a $3\times 3$ matrix (found previously by the authors) to investigate a procedure of Khovanskii's for finding the cube root of a positive integer. We show, for each positive integer…
For any polynomial $P \in \mathbb{C}[X_1,X_2,...,X_n]$, we describe a $\mathbb{C}$-vector space $F(P)$ of solutions of a linear system of equations coming from some algebraic partial differential equations such that the dimension of $F(P)$…
Factorization of polynomials is one of the foundations of symbolic computation. Its applications arise in numerous branches of mathematics and other sciences. However, the present advanced programming languages such as C++ and J++, do not…
For any 4-variate quartic form $f\geq 0$ (i.e. $f$ nonnegative, homogeneous polynomial of degree $4$ with real coefficients) there exist quadratic forms $q$ and $q'$ so that $qq'f$ is a sum of squares (s.o.s.) of quartics, by reducing to…
In this contribution we deal with sequences of monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to the Freud Sobolev-type inner product \begin{equation*} \left\langle p,q\right\rangle…
We study rational periodic points of polynomial $f_{d,c}(x)=x^d+c$ over the field of rational numbers, where $d$ is an integer greater than 2. For period 2, we classify all possible periodic points for degrees $d=4,6$. We also demonstrate…
We study the proportion of conics given by $(\mathcal{C}_{\mathbf{F}, \mathbf{y}}) : F_0(\mathbf{y})x_0^2 + F_1(\mathbf{y})x_1^2 = F_2( \mathbf{y})x_2^2 $ which have a rational point $\mathbf{x} = (x_0 :x_1:x_2) \in…
We present a special-purpose algorithm for factoring semiprimes $N = pq$ in which one prime factor satisfies $p \approx c\,(a/b)^n$ for positive integers $a, b, c, n$ with $a > b$ and $\gcd(a,b) = 1$. Given the correct parameters $(a, b)$,…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of odd characteristic $p$ with $q$ elements ($q=p^{n},n\in \mathbb{N} $) and $\mathbb{F}_q^*$ represent the nonzero elements of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. In this paper, by using the Smith normal form we…
Motion polynomials (polynomials over the dual quaternions with nonzero real norm) describe rational motions. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for reduced bounded motion polynomials to admit factorizations into monic linear…
In recent years, significant progress has been made on Mazur's Program B, with many authors beginning a systematic classification of all possible images of $p$-adic Galois representations attached to elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$.…
We study the regularity of the roots of multiparameter families of complex univariate monic polynomials $P(x)(z) = z^n + \sum_{j=1}^n (-1)^j a_j(x) z^{n-j}$ with fixed degree $n$ whose coefficients belong to a certain subring $\mathcal C$…
Given an order, a commutative ring whose additive group is free of finite rank, a natural computational question is whether a fixed univariate polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ has a root in this ring. In this paper, we show that the…
We study rational numbers with purely periodic R\'enyi $\beta$-expansions. For bases $\beta$ satisfying $\beta^2=a\beta+b$ with $b$ dividing $a$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $\gamma(\beta)=1$, i.e., that all rational…
Let $S=\{x^2+c_1, x^2+c_2,\dots, x^2+c_s\}$ be a set of quadratic polynomials with rational coefficients, and let $P$ be a rational basepoint. We classify the pairs $(S,P)$ for which $P$ has finite orbit for $S$, assuming that the maximum…
Let Q_0 denote the rational numbers expanded to a meadow by totalizing inversion such that 0^{-1}=0. Q_0 can be expanded by a total sign function s that extracts the sign of a rational number. In this paper we discuss an extension Q_0(s…
We give two elementary proofs, at a level understandable by students with only pre-calculus knowledge of Algebra, of the well known fact that an irreducible irrational n-th root of a positive rational number cannot be solution of a…
We build a new theory for analyzing the coefficients of any cyclotomic polynomial by considering it as a gcd of simpler polynomials. Using this theory, we generalize a result known as periodicity and provide two new families of flat…
Let $f,g\in\mathbb{Z}[u_1,u_2]$ be binary quadratic forms. We provide upper bounds for the number of rational points $(u,v)\in\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Q})\times\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Q})$ such that the ternary conic \[ X_{(u,v)}: f(u_1,u_2)x^2 +…
