Let $f(z)$ be a degree $d$ polynomial with zeros $z_i$. For arbitrary $m$ we construct explicit set of fixed points (attractors) of NRS($m$), and prove a factored formula for the Jacobian at these points. We prove that if NRS(2), when…
We prove a Lojasiewicz type inequality for a system of polynomial equations with coefficients in the ring of formal power series in two variables. This result is an effective version of the Strong Artin Approximation Theorem. From this…
We study the Cebyshev-Halley methods applied to the family of polynomials $f_{n,c}(z)=z^n+c$, for $n\ge 2$ and $c\in \mathbb{C}^{*}$. We prove the existence of parameters such that the immediate basins of attraction corresponding to the…
We show that, up to linear equivalence, there are only finitely many polynomial quadratic mappings $F:\mathbb{C}^2\to\mathbb{C}^n$ and $F:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^n$. We list all possibilities.
We show that the minimal polynomial of a polynomial exponential automorphism F of C^n (i.e. F=exp(D), where D is a locally nilpotent derivation) is of the form \mu_F(T)=(T-1)^d, d=min{m \in N: D^m(X_i)=0 for i=1,...,n}.
Let $F$ be an infinite field and let $f$ be a nonzero multilinear polynomial with coefficients in $F$. We prove that for every positive integer $d$ there exists a positive integer $s$ such that $f(M_{s}(F))$, the image of $f$ in $M_{s}(F)$,…
Define (*) There exists $(\phi_n:\omega_1\to \omega_1:n<\omega)$ such that for every uncountable $I$ which is a subset of $\omega_1$ there exists $n$ such that $\phi_n$ maps $I$ onto $\omega_1$. This is roughly what Sierpinski in his book…
This paper considers some work done by the author and Catlin [CD1,CD2,CD3] concerning positivity conditions for bihomogeneous polynomials and metrics on bundles over certain complex manifolds. It presents a simpler proof of a special case…
Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We consider the question which subsets of $M_n(F)$ can be images of noncommutative polynomials. We prove that a noncommutative polynomial $f$ has only finitely many similarity…
Given $d,n \in \mathbb{N}$, we write a polynomial $F \in \mathbb{C}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ to be degenerate if there exist $P\in \mathbb{C}[y_1, \dots, y_{n-1}]$ and $m_j = x_1^{v_{j,1}}\dots x_n^{v_{j,n}}$ with $v_{j,1}, \dots, v_{j,n} \in…
Let $s_0,s_1,\dots,s_{m-1}$ be complex numbers and $r_0,\dots,r_{m-1}$ rational integers in the range $0\le r_j\le m-1$. Our first goal is to prove that if an entire function $f$ of sufficiently small exponential type satisfies…
We consider Chebyshev polynomials, $T_n(z)$, for infinite, compact sets $\frak{e} \subset \mathbb{R}$ (that is, the monic polynomials minimizing the sup-norm, $\Vert T_n \Vert_{\frak{e}}$, on $\frak{e}$). We resolve a $45+$ year old…
Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a real closed field. Given a closed and bounded semi-algebraic set $A \subset \mathrm{R}^n$ and semi-algebraic continuous functions $f,g:A \rightarrow \mathrm{R}$, such that $f^{-1}(0) \subset g^{-1}(0)$, there exist $N$…
We prove a variant of the standard Whitney extension theorem for $\mathcal C^m(\mathbb R^n)$, in which the norm of the extension operator has polynomial growth in $n$ for fixed $m$.
We define and study when a polynomial mapping has a local or global time average. We conjecture that a polynomial f in the complex plane has a time average near a point z if and only if z is eventually mapped into a Siegel-disc of f. We…
Let $F\in\mathbb{C}[x,y,z]$ be a constant-degree polynomial,and let $A,B,C\subset\mathbb C$ be finite sets of size $n$. We show that $F$ vanishes on at most $O(n^{11/6})$ points of the Cartesian product $A\times B\times C$, unless $F$ has a…
We study the \L ojasiewicz exponent and the log canonical threshold of ideals of $\mathcal O_n$ when restricted to generic subspaces of $\mathbb C^n$ of different dimensions. We obtain effective formulas of the resulting numbers for ideals…
Let $P: \F \times \F \to \F$ be a polynomial of bounded degree over a finite field $\F$ of large characteristic. In this paper we establish the following dichotomy: either $P$ is a moderate asymmetric expander in the sense that $|P(A,B)|…
We define $(k,\ell)$-restricted Lukasiewicz paths, $k\le\ell\in\mathbb{N}_0$, and use these paths as models of polymer adsorption. We write down a polynomial expression satisfied by the generating function for arbitrary values of…
We study the stopping time of the Collatz map for a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{F}_2[x]$, and bound it by $O({\rm deg} (f)^{1.5})$, improving upon the quadratic bound proven by Hicks, Mullen, Yucas and Zavislak. We also prove the existence…
