Generating functions for a fixed genus map and hypermap enumeration become rational after a simple explicit change of variables. Their numerators are polynomials with integer coefficients that obey a differential recursion, and denominators…
This paper investigates the location of the zeros of a sequence of polynomials generated by a rational function with a binomial-type denominator. We show that every member of a two-parameter family consisting of such generating functions…
We describe dynamical properties of a map $\mathfrak{F}$ defined on the space of rational functions. The fixed points of $\mathfrak{F}$ are classified and the long time behavior of a subclass is described in terms of Eulerian polynomials.
For positive integers d, r, and M, we consider the class of rational functions on real d-dimensional space whose denominators are products of at most r functions of the form 1+Q(x) where each Q is a quadratic form with eigenvalues bounded…
We obtain a new family of relations satisfied by the partition function. In contrast with most partition relations, these involve non-trivial roots of unity. We present two proofs, one using the fact that the discriminant modular form is a…
The paper proves sum-of-square-of-rational-function based representations (shortly, sosrf-based representations) of polynomial matrices that are positive semidefinite on some special sets: $\mathbb{R}^n;$ $\mathbb{R}$ and its intervals…
In 1922 Ritt described polynomial solutions of the functional equation P(f)=Q(g). In this paper we describe solutions of the equation above in the case when P,Q are polynomials while f,g are allowed to be arbitrary entire functions. In…
For $x\ge0$ let $\pi(x)$ be the number of primes not exceeding $x$. The asymptotic behaviors of the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ and the $n$-th prime $p_n$ have been studied intensively in analytic number theory. Surprisingly, we find…
In this paper, we give an algorithm for finding general rational solutions of a given first-order ODE with parametric coefficients that occur rationally. We present an analysis, complete modulo Hilbert's irreducibility problem, of the…
We provide an explicit bound on the number of periodic points of a rational function defined over a number field, where the bound depends only on the number of primes of bad reduction and the degree of the function, and is linear in the…
We consider the Hurwitz action on quasipositive factorizations of a 3-braid. In a previous paper, for any given 3-braid we described a certain finite set which contains at least one representative of each orbit. Here we give an algorithm to…
The question whether a partition $\mathcal{P}$ and a hierarchy $\mathcal{H}$ or a tree-like split system $\mathfrak{S}$ are compatible naturally arises in a wide range of classification problems. In the setting of phylogenetic trees, one…
We demonstrate that solving the classical problems mentioned in the title on quadrature domains when the given boundary data is rational is as simple as the method of partial fractions. A by-product of our considerations will be a simple…
We provide a sufficient condition for a polynomial ring, not necessarily commutative, to have a first-order definition for the rational integers.
Two fractional two-phase Stefan-like problems are considered by using Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivatives of order $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ verifying that they coincide with the same classical Stefan problem at the limit case when…
In this work the existence of periodic solutions is studied for the Hamiltonian functions (Formula presented.) where the first term consist of a harmonic oscillator and the second term are homogeneous polynomials of degree 5 defined by two…
We consider bivariate polynomials over the skew field of quaternions, where the indeterminates commute with all coefficients and with each other. We analyze existence of univariate factorizations, that is, factorizations with univariate…
An inhomogeneous Tricomi equation is considered in a strip with a polynomial right-hand side. It is shown that the Dirichlet boundary value problem with polynomial boundary conditions has a polynomial solution. An algorithm for constructing…

The first part of this paper is devoted to an analysis of moment problems in R^n with supports contained in a closed set defined by finitely many polynomial inequalities. The second part of the paper uses the representation results of…
