We consider the problem of simultaneous approximation to a number and to its square in a general framework that encompasses imaginary quadratic number fields and fields of rational functions in one variable. In this context, we construct…
The problem of finding a best approximation pair of two sets, which in turn generalizes the well known convex feasibility problem, has a long history that dates back to work by Cheney and Goldstein in 1959. In 2018, Aharoni, Censor, and…
Clemm and Trebat-Leder (2014) proved that the number of quadratic number fields with absolute discriminant bounded by $x$ over which there exist elliptic curves with good reduction everywhere and rational $j$-invariant is $\gg…
Let k be an imaginary quadratic number field (with class number 1). We describe a new, essentially linear-time algorithm, to list all isomorphism classes of cubic extensions L/k up to a bound X on the norm of the relative discriminant…
In 1988, Andrews, Dyson and Hickerson initiated the study of q-hypergeometric series whose coefficients are dictated by the arithmetic in real quadratic fields. In this paper, we provide a dozen q-hypergeometric double sums which are…
In nearly every discipline, scientific computations are limited by the cost and speed of computation. For example, the best-known exact algorithms for the canonical Traveling Salesman Problem would take centuries to run on an instance of…
A new method is introduced for solving Laplace problems on 2D regions with corners by approximation of boundary data by the real part of a rational function with fixed poles exponentially clustered near each corner. Greatly extending a…
The notion of two-numbers of connected Riemannian manifolds was introduced about 35 years ago in [Un invariant geometrique riemannien, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Math. 295 (1982), 389--391] by B.-Y. Chen and T. Nagano. Later, two-numbers have…
The Operator axioms have produced new real numbers with new operators. New operators naturally produce new equations and thus extend the traditional mathematical models which are selected to describe various scientific rules. So new…
The parametric geometry of numbers of Schmidt and Summerer deals with rational approximation to points in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We extend this theory to a number field $K$ and its completion $K_w$ at a place $w$ in order to treat approximation…
In a recent preprint by Deutsch et al. [1995] the authors suggest the possibility of polynomial approximability of arbitrary unitary operations on $n$ qubits by 2-qubit unitary operations. We address that comment by proving strong lower…
We consider the problem of Diophantine approximation on semisimple algebraic groups by rational points with restricted numerators and denominators and establish a quantitative approximation result for all real points in the group by…
Diophantine approximation is traditionally the study of how well real numbers are approximated by rationals. We propose a model for studying Diophantine approximation in an arbitrary totally bounded metric space where the rationals are…
A two-step method for solving planar Laplace problems via rational approximation is introduced. First complex rational approximations to the boundary data are determined by AAA approximation, either globally or locally near each corner or…
Already Dedekind and Weber considered the problem of counting integral ideals of norm at most $x$ in a given number field $K$. Here we improve on the existing results in case $K/\mathbb Q$ is abelian and has degree at least four. For these…
We discuss the use of matrices for providing sequences of rationals that approximate algebraic irrationalities. In particular, we study the regular representation of algebraic extensions, proving that ratios between two entries of the…
The solution of the cubic equation has a century-long history; however, the usual presentation is geared towards applications in algebra and is somewhat inconvenient to use in optimization where frequently the main interest lies in real…
We prove matching direct and inverse theorems for (algebraic) polynomial approximation with doubling weights $w$ having finitely many zeros and singularities (i.e., points where $w$ becomes infinite) on an interval and not too ``rapidly…
Quantum theory may be formulated using Hilbert spaces over any of the three associative normed division algebras: the real numbers, the complex numbers and the quaternions. Indeed, these three choices appear naturally in a number of…
We recall the notion of nearest integer continued fractions over the Euclidean imaginary quadratic fields $K$ and characterize the "badly approximable" numbers, ($z$ such that there is a $C(z)>0$ with $|z-p/q|\geq C/|q|^2$ for all $p/q\in…
