A Waring decomposition of a polynomial is an expression of the polynomial as a sum of powers of linear forms, where the number of summands is minimal possible. We prove that any Waring decomposition of a monomial is obtained from a complete…

The Waring problem of forms concerns the expression of homogeneous multivariate polynomials as sums of powers of linear forms. This paper focuses on complex binary forms, and we solve the Waring problem for them using basic tools in algebra…

We prove that all polynomials in several variables can be decomposed as the sums of $k$th powers: $P(x_1,...,x_n) = Q_1(x_1,...,x_n)^k+...+ Q_s(x_1,...,x_n)^k$, provided that elements of the base field are themselves sums of $k$th powers.…

A generalisation of Waring's problem, considered first by Arkhipov and Karatsuba, is the question of representing not an integer, but a given polynomial, as a sum of powers of linear polynomials. We investigate a related problem and prove a…

A natural number is a binary $k$'th power if its binary representation consists of $k$ consecutive identical blocks. We prove an analogue of Waring's theorem for sums of binary $k$'th powers. More precisely, we show that for each integer $k…

In the polynomial ring $T=k[y_1,...,y_n]$, with $n>1$, we bound the multiplicity of homogeneous radical ideals $I\subset (y_1^{a_1},...,y_n^{a_n})$ such that $T/I$ is a graded $k$-algebra with Krull dimension one. As a consequence we solve…

We investigate the existence of representations of every large positive integer as a sum of $k$-th powers of integers represented as certain diagonal forms. In particular, we consider a family of diagonal forms and discuss the problem of…

Waring's problem, of expressing an integer as the sum of powers, has a very long history going back to the 17th century, and the problem has been studied in many different contexts. In this paper we introduce the notion of a Waring subspace…

Waring's classical problem deals with expressing every natural number as a sum of g(k) k-th powers. Recently there has been considerable interest in similar questions for nonabelian groups, and simple groups in particular. Here the k-th…
