In this note we discuss an analog of the classical Waring problem for C[x_0, x_1,...,x_n]. Namely, we show that a general homogeneous polynomial p \in C[x_0,x_1,...,x_n] of degree divisible by k\ge 2 can be represented as a sum of at most…

We present a study of two residual a posteriori error indicators for the Plane Wave Discontinuous Galerkin (PWDG) method for the Helmholtz equation. In particular we study the h-version of PWDG in which the number of plane wave directions…

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 posteriori error estimators are studied for discontinuous Galerkin methods for solving a frictional contact problem, which is a representative elliptic variational inequality of the second kind. The estimators are derived by relating the…

In this note we present a brief overview of variational methods to solve homogenization problems. The purpose is to give a first insight on the subject by presenting some fundamental theoretical tools, both classical and modern. We conclude…

Given an irreducible variety $X$ over a finite field, the density of hypersurfaces of varying degree $d$ intersecting $X$ in an irreducible subvariety is $1$, by a result of Charles and Poonen. In this note, we analyse the situation fixing…

A variant of a gauge theory is formulated to describe disclinations on Riemannian surfaces that may change both the Gaussian (intrinsic) and mean (extrinsic) curvatures, which implies that both internal strains and a location of the surface…

We formulate and prove a generalization of Zariski-van Kampen theorem on the topological fundamental groups of smooth complex algebraic varieties. As an application, we prove a hyperplane section theorem of Lefschetz-Zariski-van Kampen type…

We characterize the double Veronese embedding of P^n as the only variety that, under certain general conditions, can be isomorphically projected from the Grassmannian of lines in P^{2n+1} to the Grassmannian of lines in P^{n+1}.

This paper surveys and gives a uniform exposition of results contained in papers published by the team of authors. The subject is degenerations of surfaces, especially to unions of planes. More specifically, we deduce some properties of the…

New sequences of orthogonal polynomials with ultra-exponential weight functions are discovered. In particular, it gives an explicit solution to the Ditkin-Prudnikov problem (1966). The 3-term recurrence relations, explicit representations,…

We propose a consistent polynomial-time method for the unseeded node matching problem for networks with smooth underlying structures. Despite widely conjectured by the research community that the structured graph matching problem to be…

In the first part of the thesis, we study a classical invariant of projective varieties, the secant defectivity. The second part is devoted to modern algebraic geometry, we study the birational geometry of blow-ups of Grassmannians at…

We give a new proof for the parabolic Verlinde formula in all ranks based on a comparison of wall-crossings in Geometric Invariant Theory and certain iterated residue functionals. On the way, we develop a tautological variant of Hecke…

In this thesis, written in Italian, some original results are presented: two new optical invariants, similar to that of Lagrange, the generalization of the third order Luneburg's aberrations formulae and the detailed proof of the way they…

Graded Lagrangian formalism in terms of a Grassmann-graded variational bicomplex on graded manifolds is developed in a very general setting. This formalism provides the comprehensive description of reducible degenerate Lagrangian systems,…

We study intersection theory for differential algebraic varieties. Particularly, we study families of differential hypersurface sections of arbitrary affine differential algebraic varieties over a differential field. We prove the…

We propose a new approach to the combinatorial interpretations of linearization coefficient problem of orthogonal polynomials. We first establish a difference system and then solve it combinatorially and analytically using the method of…

We prove the two-scale transformation method which allows rigorous homogenisation of problems defined on locally periodic domains by transformation on periodic domains. The idea to consider periodic substitute problems was originally…

Vector autoregressions (VARs) are a widely used tool for modelling multivariate time-series. It is common to assume a VAR is stationary; this can be enforced by imposing the stationarity condition which restricts the parameter space of the…
