For a given irrational number, we consider the properties of best rational approximations of given parities. There are three different kinds of rational numbers according to the parity of the numerator and denominator, say odd/odd, even/odd…

This paper describes a simple greedy D-approximation algorithm for any covering problem whose objective function is submodular and non-decreasing, and whose feasible region can be expressed as the intersection of arbitrary (closed upwards)…

In this article, for a certain subset $\mathcal{X}$ of the extended set of rational numbers, we introduce the notion of {\it best $\mathcal{X}$-approximations} of a real number. The notion of best $\mathcal{X}$-approximation is analogous to…

The Matching Augmentation Problem (MAP) has recently received significant attention as an important step towards better approximation algorithms for finding cheap $2$-edge connected subgraphs. This has culminated in a…

Finding surface mappings with least distortion arises from many applications in various fields. Extremal Teichm\"uller maps are surface mappings with least conformality distortion. The existence and uniqueness of the extremal…

We consider a sequence of complex rational maps (f_n) of a fixed degree d at least 2. Building on the seminal work of Kiwi, we introduce the notion of generalized rescaling limits. These are rational maps possibly defined over a…

A rational number is dyadic if it has a finite binary representation $p/2^k$, where $p$ is an integer and $k$ is a nonnegative integer. Dyadic rationals are important for numerical computations because they have an exact representation in…

In this paper, we solve a maximization problem where the objective function is quadratic and convex or concave and the constraints set is the reachable value set of a convergent discrete-time affine system. Moreover, we assume that the…

In this paper, we solve a maximization problem where the objective function is quadratic and the constraints set is the reachable values set of a stable discrete-time affine system. This problem is equivalent to solve an infinite number of…

We study additive double character sums over two subsets of a finite field. We show that if there is a suitable rational self-map of small degree of a set $D$, then this set contains a large subset $U$ for which the standard bound on the…

This paper introduces the \emph{$d$-distance matching problem}, in which we are given a bipartite graph $G=(S,T;E)$ with $S=\{s_1,\dots,s_n\}$, a weight function on the edges and an integer $d\in\mathbb Z_+$. The goal is to find a maximum…

We develop a new framework for generalizing approximation algorithms from the structural graph algorithm literature so that they apply to graphs somewhat close to that class (a scenario we expect is common when working with real-world…

We illustrate the use of the notion of derived recurrences introduced earlier to evaluate the algebraic entropy of self-maps of projective spaces. We in particular give an example, where a complete proof is still awaited, but where…

Let f be a real or complex polynomial. We give an algorithm to compute the set of generalized critical values. The algorithm uses a finite dimensional space of rational arcs along which we can reach all generalized critical values of f.

We study the repetition of patches in self-affine tilings in R^d. In particular, we study the existence and non-existence of arithmetic progressions. We first show that an arithmetic condition of the expansion map for a self-affine tiling…

Let $S_r(p,q)$ be the $r$-associated Stirling numbers of the second kind, the number of ways to partition a set of size $p$ into $q$ subsets of size at least $r$. For $r=1$, these are the standard Stirling numbers of the second kind, and…

We consider mappings, which are structure consisting of a single function (and possibly some number of unary relations) and address the problem of approximating a continuous mapping by a finite mapping. This problem is the inverse problem…

Let $f:\mathbb{K}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{K}^m$ be a generically finite polynomial map of degree $d$ between affine spaces. In arXiv:1411.5011 we proved that if $\mathbb{K}$ is the field of complex or real numbers, then the set $S_f$ of points…

A subset P of N x N is called Schur bounded if every infinite matrix with bounded entries which is zero off of P yields a bounded Schur multiplier on B(H). Such sets are characterized as being the union of a subset with at most k entries in…

In this paper, we establish improved effective irrationality measures for certain numbers of the form $\sqrt[3]{n}$, using approximations obtained from hypergeometric functions. These results are very close to the best possible using this…
