Motivated by the variations of Sarnak's conjecture due to El Abdalaoui, Kulaga-Przymus, Lemanczyk, De La Rue and by the observation that the Mobius function is a good weight (with limit zero) for the polynomial pointwise ergodic theorem in…

The generalized taxicab number $T(n,m,t)$ is equal to the smallest number that is the sum of $n$ positive $m$th powers in $t$ ways. This definition is inspired by Ramanujan's observation that $1729 = 1^3+ 12^3 =9^3 + 10^3 $ is the smallest…

Continued fractions whose elements are polynomial sequences have been carefully studied mostly in the cases where the degree of the numerator polynomial is less than or equal to two and the degree of the denominator polynomial is less than…

The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by $$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,\ldots,x_n):=\sum_{k=0}^n {n+k \choose 2k}^{r}{2k\choose k} x_k. $$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $\varepsilon=\pm 1$, all the coefficients…

We generalize the patterns of supercongruences of Ramanujan-type observed by L. Van Hamme and W. Zudilin to series involving simple square roots anywhere and not only in the result of the sum. To support our observations we give some…

Given a sequence of orthogonal polynomials $(p_n)_n$ with respect to a positive measure in the real line, we study the real zeros of finite combinations of $K+1$ consecutive orthogonal polynomials of the form $$…

We study the problem of counting the total number of affine solutions of a system of n binomials in n variables over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We show that we may decide in polynomial time if that number is…

The purpose of this note is to survey a methodology to solve systems of polynomial equations and inequalities. The techniques we discuss use the algebra of multivariate polynomials with coefficients over a field to create large-scale linear…

Let $\Bbb Z$ be the set of integers. For positive integers $a,b,c$ and $n$ let $N(a,b,c;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax^2+by^2+cz^2$, and let $t(a,b,c;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by…

Let $a,b,c$ be non-zero integers and $f(x)=ax^n+bx^m+c$ be a trinomial of degree $n$. We surveyed the irreducibility criteria of $f(x)$ over rational numbers.

We present several supercongruences that may be viewed as $p$-adic analogues of Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ and $1/\pi^2$, and prove three of these examples.

Let $f(t_1, \ldots, t_r, X)\in \mathbb{Z}[t_1, \ldots, t_r,X]$ be irreducible and let $a_1, \ldots, a_r\in \mathbb{Z} \smallsetminus \{0,\pm 1\}$. Under a necessary ramification assumption on $f$, and conditionally on the Generalized…

In this work we study orthogonal polynomials via polynomial mappings in the framework of the $H_q-$semiclassical class. We consider two monic orthogonal polynomial sequences $\{p_n (x)\}_{n\geq0}$ and $\{q_n(x)\}_{n\geq0}$ such that $$…

The undecidability of the additive theory of primes (with identity) as well as the theory Th(N,+, n -> p\_n), where p\_n denotes the (n+1)-th prime, are open questions. As a possible approach, we extend the latter theory by adding some…

We consider parametric equations driven by the sum of a $p$-Laplacian and a Laplace operator (the so-called $(p,2)$-equations). We study the existence and multiplicity of solutions when the parameter $\lambda>0$ is near the principal…

We study a random polynomial of degree $n$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where the coefficients are independent and identically distributed and uniformly chosen from the squares in $\mathbb{F}_q$. Our main result demonstrates that…

In this paper the ideas of Rota and Ramanujan are shown to be central to understanding problems in additive number theory. The circle and sieve methods are two different facets of the same theme of interplay between probability and Fourier…

Let ${\cal P}_n^c$ denote the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $n$ with complex coefficients. Let $$D^+ := \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z| \leq 1, \, \, \Im(z) \geq 0\}$$ be the closed upper half-disk of the complex plane. For…

We consider random polynomials $p_n(x)=\xi_0+\xi_1+\dots+\xi_n x^n$ whose coefficients are independent and identically distributed with zero mean, unit variance, and bounded $(2+\epsilon)^{th}$ moment (for some $\epsilon>0$), also known as…

Kronecker's Theorem and Rabin's Theorem are fundamental results about computable fields F and the decidability of the set of irreducible polynomials over F. We adapt these theorems to the setting of differential fields K, with constrained…
