An inclusion is said to be neutral to uniform fields if upon insertion into a homogenous medium with a uniform field it does not perturb the uniform field at all. It is said to be weakly neutral if it perturbs the uniform field mildly. Such…

In this note we compare the a-invariant of a homogeneous algebra B to the a-invariant of a subalgebra A. In particular we show that if $A \subset B$ is a finite homogeneous inclusion of standard graded domains over an algebraically closed…

Let $A\subset \mathbf{N}$ be a finite set of $n=|A|$ positive integers, and consider the cosine sum $f_A(x)=\sum_{a\in A}\cos ax$. We prove that $$\min_x f_A(x)\leqslant -n^{ 1/7-o(1)},$$ thereby establishing polynomial bounds for the…

For finite-dimensional linear semigroups which leave a proper cone invariant it is shown that irreducibility with respect to the cone implies the existence of an extremal norm. In case the cone is simplicial a similar statement applies to…

Let $\mathbf D=\bar{\mathbb D}$ be the closed unit disk in $\mathbb C$ and $\mathbf B_n=\bar{\mathbb B_n}$ the closed unit ball in $\mathbb C^n$. For a compact subset $K$ in $\mathbb C^n$ with nonempty interior, let $A(K)$ be the uniform…

Let $D_j\subset\Bbb C^{k_j}$ be a pseudoconvex domain and let $A_j\subset D_j$ be a locally pluripolar set, $j=1,...,N$. Put$$X:=\bigcup_{j=1}^N A_1\times...\times A_{j-1}\times D_j\times A_{j+1}\times...\times A_N\subset\Bbb…

We study uniform estimates for the family of fundamental Lagrange polynomials associated with any Leja sequence for the complex unit disk. The main result claims that all these polynomials are uniformly bounded on the disk, i.e.…

Constraint "at most one" is a basic cardinality constraint which requires that at most one of its $n$ boolean inputs is set to $1$. This constraint is widely used when translating a problem into a conjunctive normal form (CNF) and we…

We study the power sum problem max_{v=1,...,m} | sum_{k=1}^n z_k^v | and by using features of Fejer kernels we give new lower bounds in the case of unimodular complex numbers z_k and m cn^2 for constants c>1.

We present several results associated to a holomorphic-interpolation problem for the spectral unit ball \Omega_n, n\geq 2. We begin by showing that a known necessary condition for the existence of a $\mathcal{O}(D;\Omega_n)$-interpolant (D…

Finite dimensional linear spaces (both complex and real) with indefinite scalar product [.,.] are considered. Upper and lower bounds are given for the size of an indecomposable matrix that is normal with respect to this scalar product in…

Submodular optimization is a fundamental problem with many applications in machine learning, often involving decision-making over datasets with sensitive attributes such as gender or age. In such settings, it is often desirable to produce a…

A C*-algebra is n-homogeneous (where n is finite) if every its nonzero irreducible representation acts on an n-dimensional Hilbert space. An elementary proof of Fell's characterization of n-homogeneous C*-algebras (by means of their…

The paper is devoted to characterizing convex trace ranges in finite atomic von Neumann algebras. The main result provides us with the necessary and sufficient condition for the range of a faithful normal trace on a finite atomic von…

We consider a multidimensional extremal problem formulated in terms of tropical mathematics. The problem is to minimize a nonlinear objective function, which is defined on a finite-dimensional semimodule over an idempotent semifield,…

The F-threshold $c^J(\a)$ of an ideal $\a$ with respect to the ideal $J$ is a positive characteristic invariant obtained by comparing the powers of $\a$ with the Frobenius powers of $J$. We show that under mild assumptions, we can detect…

Discretization of the uniform norm of functions from a given finite dimensional subspace of continuous functions is studied. Previous known results show that for any $N$-dimensional subspace of the space of continuous functions it is…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a fractional Orlicz-Sobolev space on $\rn$ to be continuously embedded into a space of uniformly continuous functions. The optimal modulus of continuity is exhibited whenever these…

In this paper, we consider interpolation by \textit{completely monotonous} polynomials (CMPs for short), that is, polynomials with non-negative real coefficients. In particular, given a finite set $S\subset \mathbb{R}_{>0} \times…

We derive an upper bound for the mean of the supremum of the empirical process indexed by a class of functions that are known to have variance bounded by a small constant $\delta$. The bound is expressed in the uniform entropy integral of…
