It is shown that for finding rational approximates to m'th root of any integer to any accuracy one only needs the ability to count and to distinguish between m different classes of objects. To every integer N can be associated a…
To every integer monic polynomial of degree m can be associated m integer sequences having interesting properties to the roots of the polynomial. These sequences can be used to find the real roots of any integer monic polynomial by using…
The roots of any polynomial of degree m with integer coefficients, can be computed by manipulation of sequences made from 2m distinct symbols and counting the different symbols in the sequences. This method requires only 'primitive'…

We consider the sequence of polynomials $W_n(x)$ defined by the recursion $W_n(x)=(ax+b)W_{n-1}(x)+dW_{n-2}(x)$, with initial values $W_0(x)=1$ and $W_1(x)=t(x-r)$, where $a,b,d,t,r$ are real numbers, $a,t>0$, and $d<0$. We show that every…
Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…
A novel very simple method for finding roots of polynomials over finite fields has been proposed. The essence of the proposed method is to search the roots via nested cycles over the subgroups of the multiplicative group of the Galois…
Recursive maps of high order of convergence $m$ (say $m=2^{10}$ or $m=2^{20}$) induce certain monotone step functions from which one can filter relevant information needed to globally separate and compute the real roots of a function on a…
Given a $d \times n$ integer matrix $A$, the main result is an elementary, simple-to-state algorithm that finds the largest $A$-graded ideal contained in any ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. The special case where $A$…
We describe a new incomplete but terminating method for real root finding for large multivariate polynomials. We take an abstract view of the polynomial as the set of exponent vectors associated with sign information on the coefficients.…
The Wiener polynomial of a connected graph $G$ is defined as $W(G;x)=\sum x^{d(u,v)}$, where $d(u,v)$ denotes the distance between $u$ and $v$, and the sum is taken over all unordered pairs of distinct vertices of $G$. We examine the nature…
The Waring Problem over polynomial rings asks how to decompose a homogeneous polynomial $p$ of degree $d$ as a finite sum of $d$-{th} powers of linear forms. In this work we give an algorithm to obtain a real Waring decomposition of any…
We establish asymptotic upper bounds on the number of zeros modulo $p$ of certain polynomials with integer coefficients, with $p$ prime numbers arbitrarily large. The polynomials we consider have degree of size $p$ and are obtained by…
The binomial notation (w u) represents the number of occurrences of the word u as a (scattered) subword in w. We first introduce and study possible uses of a geometrical interpretation of (w ab) and (w ba) when a and b are distinct letters.…
We count the number of polynomials over finite fields with prescribed leading coefficients and a given number of linear factors. This is equivalent to counting codewords in Reed-Solomon codes which are at a certain distance from a received…
We use generating functions over group rings to count polynomials over finite fields with the first few coefficients prescribed and a factorization pattern prescribed. In particular, we obtain different exact formulas for the number of…
Let d be an integer between 0 and 4, and W be a 2-dimensional word of dimensions h x w on the binary alphabet {0, 1}, where h, w in Z > 0. Assume that each occurrence of the letter 1 in W is adjacent to at most d letters 1. We provide an…
Suppose L is any finite algebraic extension of either the ordinary rational numbers or the p-adic rational numbers. Also let g_1,...,g_k be polynomials in n variables, with coefficients in L, such that the total number of monomial terms…
A regular continuant is the denominator $K$ of a terminating regular continued fraction, interpreted as a function of the partial quotients. We regard $K$ as a function defined on the set of all finite words on the alphabet $1<2<3<\dots$…
A pattern p (i.e., a string of variables and terminals) matches a word w, if w can be obtained by uniformly replacing the variables of p by terminal words. The respective matching problem, i.e., deciding whether or not a given pattern…
