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 $F(P)$…

Suppose that $f: \bR^n\to\bR^n$ is a mapping of $K$-bounded $p$-mean distortion for some $p>n-1$. We prove the equivalence of the following properties of $f$: doubling condition for $J(x,f)$ over big balls centered at origin, boundedness of…

The prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ which returns the number of primes smaller or equal to a given number is a topic of interest in number theory. An algorithm based on a cyclic group isomorphic to $Z/nZ$, the so-called $Z$-functions, was…

We explore a new form of DFT, which we call the Polynomial Transform. It functions over finite fields, and a size $n$ transform takes $O(n)$ operations. In the multitape Turing machine model, it allows us to multiply two $n$ bit numbers in…

Let n be a positive integer and let p be a prime. We calculate the probability that a random monic polynomial of degree n with coefficients in the ring Z_p of p-adic integers splits over Z_p into linear factors.

Let $m$ be a positive integer and $p$ a prime. In this paper, we investigate the differential properties of the power mapping $x^{p^m+2}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$, where $n=2m$ or $n=2m-1$. For the case $n=2m$, by transforming the derivative…

We say a polynomial f having integer coefficients is strongly coefficient convex if the set of coefficients of f consists of consecutive integers only. We establish various results suggesting that the divisors of x^n-1 with integer…

Let $f(x)=x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_0$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients. For a prime $p$ for which $f(x)$ is fully splitting modulo $ p$, we consider $n$ roots $r_i$ of $f(x)\equiv 0\bmod p$ with $0 \le r_1\le\dots\le…
