Given a univariate polynomial, its abscissa is the maximum real part of its roots. The abscissa arises naturally when controlling linear differential equations. As a function of the polynomial coefficients, the abscissa is H{\"o}lder…

This paper is the first of a series dealing with c-holomorphic functions defined on algebraic sets and having algebraic graphs. These functions may be seen as the complex counterpart of the recently introduced \textit{regulous} functions.…

Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n \ge 1$ with real coefficients and let $X \ge 2$ and $\delta \ge 0$ be real numbers. Let $\|\cdot\|$ be the distance to the nearest integer. We obtain upper bounds for the number of solutions to the…

We show that for any sufficiently large integer $Q$ and a real $0\leq\lambda\leq\frac34$ there exists a value $c(n,f,J)>0$ such that all strips $L(Q,\lambda)=\{(x,y):|y-f(x)|<Q^{-\lambda}, x\in J=[a,b]\}$ contain at least $c(n, f,…

We describe an approach for finding upper bounds on an ODE dynamical system's maximal Lyapunov exponent among all trajectories in a specified set. A minimization problem is formulated whose infimum is equal to the maximal Lyapunov exponent,…

We investigate several possibilities of obtaining a {\L}ojasiewicz inequality for definable multifunctions and give some examples of applications thereof. In particular, we prove that the Hausdorff distance and its extension to closed sets…

The Sz\'asz inequality is a classical result that provides a bound for polynomials with zeros in the upper half of the complex plane, expressed in terms of their low-order coefficients. Generalizations of this result to polynomials in…

The sensitivity of a Boolean function f is the maximum over all inputs x, of the number of sensitive coordinates of x. The well-known sensitivity conjecture of Nisan (see also Nisan and Szegedy) states that every sensitivity-s Boolean…
