Let f be a square-free polynomial in Fq[t][x] where Fq is a field of q elements. We view f as a polynomial in the variable x with coefficients in the ring Fq[t]. We study squarefree values of f in sparse subsets of Fq[t] which are given by…

The slope of the best fit line from minimizing the sum of both the squared vertical errors and the squared horizontal errors is shown to be the root of a fourth degree polynomial.

The main topic of this contribution is the problem of counting square-free numbers not exceeding $n$. Before this work we were able to do it in time (Comparing to the Big-O notation, Soft-O ($\softO$) ignores logarithmic factors)…

Theorem 1 is a formula expressing the mean number of real roots of a random multihomogeneous system of polynomial equations as a multiple of the mean absolute value of the determinant of a random matrix. Theorem 2 derives closed form…

We consider random orthonormal polynomials $$ P_{n}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{n}\xi_{i}p_{i}(x), $$ where $\xi_{0}$, . . . , $\xi_{n}$ are independent random variables with zero mean, unit variance and uniformly bounded $(2+\ep_0)$-moments, and…

This is an exposition of results of R.C. Vaughan and the author (Mathematika 70 (2024), no. 4). We discuss how often the squarefree values of an integral polynomial do occur. We discuss interrelations between our results and results of B.…

This paper deals with the use of numerical methods based on random root sampling techniques to solve some theoretical problems arising in the analysis of polynomials. These methods are proved to be practical and give solutions where…

In this paper, we improve the error term in a previous paper on an asymptotic formula for the number of squarefull numbers in an arithmetic progression.

We prove upper bounds for the error term of the distribution of squarefree numbers up to $X$ in arithmetic progressions modulo $q$ making progress towards two well-known conjectures concerning this distribution and improving upon earlier…

We investigate the problem of showing that the values of a given polynomial are smooth (i.e., have no large prime factors) a positive proportion of the time. Although some results exist that bound the number of smooth values of a polynomial…

In this paper, we concentrate on counting and testing dominant polynomials with integer coefficients. A polynomial is called dominant if it has a simple root whose modulus is strictly greater than the moduli of its remaining roots. In…

Let E be a non-CM elliptic curve defined over Q. For each prime p of good reduction, E reduces to a curve E_p over the finite field F_p. For a given squarefree polynomial f(x,y), we examine the sequences f_p(E) := f(a_p(E), p), whose values…

We present an explicit algorithmic method for computing square roots in quaternion algebras over global fields of characteristic different from 2.

We show that if two monic polynomials with integer coefficients have square-free resultant, then all positive divisors of the resultant arise as the greatest common divisor of the values of the two polynomials at a suitable integer.

Using the cyclotomic identity we compute sums over d-tuples of monic polynomials in F_q[x] weighted by the multiplicity of their irreducible factors. As consequences we determine explicit expressions for the number of d-tuples of…

Every natural number greater than $2$ can be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number, and recent work has imposed additional divisibility conditions on the square-free number. We overcome limitations in these works to prove…

Using the circle method, we obtain asymptotic formulae for the number of integer solutions to certain quadratic polynomials that are uniform in the coefficients of the polynomial.

We count with a smooth weight the number of $2 \times 2$ integer matrices with a fixed characteristic polynomial with a main term and an error term using bounds for sums of Weyl sums for quadratic roots.

A $P$-polynomial corner, for $P \in \mathbb{Z}[z]$ a polynomial, is a triple of points $(x,y),\; (x+P(z),y),\; (x,y+P(z))$ for $x,y,z \in \mathbb{Z}$. In the case where $P$ has an integer root of multiplicity $1$, we show that if $A…
