Let $K$ be a number field. Given a polynomial $f(x)\in K[x]$ of degree $d\ge 2$, it is conjectured that the number of preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded by a uniform bound that depends only on $d$ and $[K:\mathbb Q]$. However, the only…

In this paper we study polynomial identity testing of sums of $k$ read-once algebraic branching programs ($\Sigma_k$-RO-ABPs), generalizing the work in (Shpilka and Volkovich 2008,2009), who considered sums of $k$ read-once formulas…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer, and let $P= (f_1(x), \ldots, f_k(x) )$ be $k$ admissible linear polynomials over the integers, or \textit{the pattern}. We present two algorithms that find all integers $x$ where $\max{ \{f_i(x) \} } \le n$ and…

Let $f\in \mathbb{Z}\lbrack x\rbrack$ be a polynomial of degree $d\geq 3$ without roots of multiplicity $d$ or $(d-1)$. Erd\H{o}s conjectured that, if $f$ satisfies the necessary local conditions, then $f(p)$ is free of $(d-1)$th powers for…

In an earlier article [3], we presented an algorithm that can be used to rigorously check whether a specific cosine or sine polynomial is nonnegative in a given interval or not. The algorithm proves to be an indispensable tool in…

Given any fixed integer $q\ge 2$, a $q$-monomial is of the format $\displaystyle x^{s_1}_{i_1}x^{s_2}_{i_2}...x_{i_t}^{s_t}$ such that $1\le s_j \le q-1$, $1\le j \le t$. $q$-monomials are natural generalizations of multilinear monomials.…
