Let $F(x_1,...,x_n)$ be a form of degree $d\geq 2$, which produces a geometrically irreducible hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$. This paper is concerned with the number of rational points on F=0 which have height at most $B$. Whenever…

The depth of a visible surface of a scene is the distance between the surface and the sensor. Recovering depth information from two-dimensional images of a scene is an important task in computer vision that can assist numerous applications…

We consider two variants of the classical Stable Roommates problem with Incomplete (but strictly ordered) preference lists SRI that are degree constrained, i.e., preference lists are of bounded length. The first variant, EGAL d-SRI,…

Our main result is that every n-dimensional polytope can be described by at most (2n-1) polynomial inequalities and, moreover, these polynomials can explicitly be constructed. For an n-dimensional pointed polyhedral cone we prove the bound…

Let $q$ be a prime power. We construct stable polynomials of the form $b^{m-1}(x+a)^m+c(x+a)+d$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ for $m=2,3,4$ by Capelli's lemma. When $m=3$ and $q$ is even, we confirm the conjecture of Ahmadi and…

We obtain estimates for the number $p_d(n)$ of $(d-1)$-dimensional integer partitions of a number $n$. It is known that the two-sided inequality $C_1(d)n^{1-1/d}<\log p_d(n)< C_2(d)n^{1-1/d}$ is always true and that $C_1(d)>1$ whenever…

We state a kind of Euclidian division theorem: given a polynomial P(x) and a divisor d of the degree of P, there exist polynomials h(x),Q(x),R(x) such that P(x) = h(Q(x)) +R(x), with deg h=d. Under some conditions h,Q,R are unique, and Q is…

Consider the gradient map associated to any non-constant homogeneous polynomial $f\in \C[x_0,...,x_n]$ of degree $d$, defined by \[\phi_f=grad(f): D(f)\to \CP^n, (x_0:...:x_n)\to (f_0(x):...:f_n(x))\] where $D(f)=\{x\in \CP^n; f(x)\neq 0\}$…

We use the famous knot-theoretic consequence of Freedman's disc theorem---knots with trivial Alexander polynomial bound a locally-flat disc in the 4-ball---to prove the following generalization. The degree of the Alexander polynomial of a…

In a recent article, we have shown that a variety of localized polynomial frames, including isotropic as well as directional systems, are suitable for detecting jump discontinuities along circles on the sphere. More precisely, such edges…

We introduce different notions of polynomial convexity with bounds on degrees of polynomials in $\mathbb C^n$. We provide some examples in higher dimensions and show necessary and sufficient conditions for polynomial convexity with degree…

Let $F=(p,q):\mathbb R^2\to \mathbb R^2$ be a polynomial map with nowhere zero Jacobian determinant. A long-standing problem is to determine the largest integer $k$ such that the condition $\deg p\le k$ guarantees the global injectivity of…

A $3$-uniform hypergraph is a generalization of simple graphs where each hyperedge is a subset of vertices of size $3$. The degree of a vertex in a hypergraph is the number of hyperedges incident with it. The degree sequence of a hypergraph…

Let F : P^N --> P^N be a dominant rational map. The dynamical degree of F is the quantity d_F = lim (deg F^n)^(1/n). When F is defined over a number field, we define the arithmetic degree of an algebraic point P to be a_F(P) = limsup…

We are concerned with the problem of the stability of the syzygy bundles associated to base point free vector spaces of forms of the same degree d on the projective space of dimension n. We deduce directly, from Mark Green's vanishing…

It has recently been shown that the problem of testing global convexity of polynomials of degree four is {strongly} NP-hard, answering an open question of N.Z. Shor. This result is minimal in the degree of the polynomial when global…

We investigate the use of orthonormal polynomials over the unit disk B_2 in R^2 and the unit ball B_3 in R^3. An efficient evaluation of an orthonormal polynomial basis is given, and it is used in evaluating general polynomials over B_2 and…

We investigate degree bounds for fields of rational invariants of representations of finite groups. We prove many cases of a bound for $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ conjectured by Blum-Smith, Garcia, Hidalgo, and Rodriguez. For arbitrary groups,…
