Minimal $𝒮$ -universality criteria may vary in size

Noam D. Elkies, Daniel M. Kane, Scott Duke Kominers (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In this note, we give simple examples of sets $𝒮$ of quadratic forms that have minimal $𝒮$ -universality criteria of multiple cardinalities. This answers a question of Kim, Kim, and Oh [KKO05] in the negative.

We show that certain quadratic base change $L$ -functions for $Gl (2)$ are non-negative at their center of symmetry.

The factorization of $f (x) x^{n} + g (x)$ with $f (x)$ monic and of degree $\leq 2$ .

Joshua Harrington, Andrew Vincent, Daniel White (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In this paper we investigate the factorization of the polynomials $f (x) x^{n} + g (x) \in ℤ [x]$ in the special case where $f (x)$ is a monic quadratic polynomial with negative discriminant. We also mention similar results in the case that $f (x)$ is monic and linear.

Extending piecewise polynomial functions in two variables

Andreas Fischer, Murray Marshall (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We study the extensibility of piecewise polynomial functions defined on closed subsets of $ℝ^{2}$ to all of $ℝ^{2}$ . The compact subsets of $ℝ^{2}$ on which every piecewise polynomial function is extensible to $ℝ^{2}$ can be characterized in terms of local quasi-convexity if they are definable in an o-minimal expansion of $ℝ$ . Even the noncompact closed definable subsets can be characterized if semialgebraic function germs at infinity are dense in the Hardy field of definable germs. We also present a piecewise...

Zero points of quadratic matrix polynomials

Opfer, Gerhard, Janovská, Drahoslava

Similarity:

Our aim is to classify and compute zeros of the quadratic two sided matrix polynomials, i.e. quadratic polynomials whose matrix coefficients are located at both sides of the powers of the matrix variable. We suppose that there are no multiple terms of the same degree in the polynomial $𝐩$ , i.e., the terms have the form $𝐀_{j} 𝐗^{j} 𝐁_{j}$ , where all quantities $𝐗, 𝐀_{j}, 𝐁_{j}, j = 0, 1, ..., N,$ are square matrices of the same size. Both for classification and computation, the essential tool is the description of the polynomial $𝐩$ by a matrix...

On nonsingular polynomial maps of ℝ²

Nguyen Van Chau, Carlos Gutierrez (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider nonsingular polynomial maps F = (P,Q): ℝ² → ℝ² under the following regularity condition at infinity $(J_{\infty})$ : There does not exist a sequence $(p_{k}, q_{k}) \subset ℂ ²$ of complex singular points of F such that the imaginary parts $(ℑ (p_{k}), ℑ (q_{k}))$ tend to (0,0), the real parts $(ℜ (p_{k}), ℜ (q_{k}))$ tend to ∞ and $F (ℜ (p_{k}), ℜ (q_{k}))) \to a \in ℝ ²$ . It is shown that F is a global diffeomorphism of ℝ² if it satisfies Condition $(J_{\infty})$ and if, in addition, the restriction of F to every real level set $P^{- 1} (c)$ is proper for values of |c| large enough.

Heights of squares of Littlewood polynomials and infinite series

Artūras Dubickas (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let P be a unimodular polynomial of degree d-1. Then the height H(P²) of its square is at least √(d/2) and the product L(P²)H(P²), where L denotes the length of a polynomial, is at least d². We show that for any ε > 0 and any d ≥ d(ε) there exists a polynomial P with ±1 coefficients of degree d-1 such that H(P²) < (2+ε)√(dlogd) and L(P²)H(P²)< (16/3+ε)d²log d. A similar result is obtained for the series with ±1 coefficients. Let $A_{m}$ be the mth coefficient of the square f(x)² of...

Sumsets in quadratic residues

I. D. Shkredov (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We describe all sets $A \subseteq_{p}$ which represent the quadratic residues $R \subseteq_{p}$ in the sense that R = A + A or R = A ⨣ A. Also, we consider the case of an approximate equality R ≈ A + A and R ≈ A ⨣ A and prove that A is then close to a perfect difference set.

A set on which the Łojasiewicz exponent at infinity is attained

Jacek Chądzyński, Tadeusz Krasiński (1997)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We show that for a polynomial mapping $F = (f ₁, . . ., f ₘ) : ℂ^{n} \to ℂ^{m}$ the Łojasiewicz exponent $_{\infty} (F)$ of F is attained on the set $z \in ℂ^{n} : f ₁ (z) \cdot . . . \cdot f ₘ (z) = 0$ .

Explicit bounds for the Łojasiewicz exponent in the gradient inequality for polynomials

Didier D&#039;Acunto, Krzysztof Kurdyka (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let f: ℝⁿ → ℝ be a polynomial function of degree d with f(0) = 0 and ∇f(0) = 0. Łojasiewicz’s gradient inequality states that there exist C > 0 and ϱ ∈ (0,1) such that ${| \nabla f | \geq C | f |}^{ϱ}$ in a neighbourhood of the origin. We prove that the smallest such exponent ϱ is not greater than $1 - R {(n, d)}^{- 1}$ with $R (n, d) = d {(3 d - 3)}^{n - 1}$ .

Hodge type decomposition

Wojciech Kozłowski (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

In the space $Λ^{p}$ of polynomial p-forms in ℝⁿ we introduce some special inner product. Let $H^{p}$ be the space of polynomial p-forms which are both closed and co-closed. We prove in a purely algebraic way that $Λ^{p}$ splits as the direct sum $d * (Λ^{p + 1}) \oplus δ * (Λ^{p - 1}) \oplus H^{p}$ , where d* (resp. δ*) denotes the adjoint operator to d (resp. δ) with respect to that inner product.

Unique decomposition for a polynomial of low rank

Edoardo Ballico, Alessandra Bernardi (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let F be a homogeneous polynomial of degree d in m + 1 variables defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and suppose that F belongs to the sth secant variety of the d-uple Veronese embedding of $ℙ^{m}$ into $ℙ^{\binom{m + d}{d} - 1}$ but that its minimal decomposition as a sum of dth powers of linear forms requires more than s summands. We show that if s ≤ d then F can be uniquely written as $F = M ₁^{d} + \dots + M_{t}^{d} + Q$ , where $M ₁, . . ., M_{t}$ are linear forms with t ≤ (d-1)/2, and Q is a binary form such that $Q = \sum_{i = 1}^{q} l_{i}^{d - d_{i}} m_{i}$ with $l_{i}$ ’s linear forms...

On a generalization of the Beiter Conjecture

Bartłomiej Bzdęga (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We prove that for every ε > 0 and every nonnegative integer w there exist primes $p_{1}, . . ., p_{w}$ such that for $n = p_{1} . . . p_{w}$ the height of the cyclotomic polynomial $Φ_{n}$ is at least $(1 - ε) c_{w} M_{n}$ , where $M_{n} = \prod_{i = 1}^{w - 2} p_{i}^{2^{w - 1 - i} - 1}$ and $c_{w}$ is a constant depending only on w; furthermore $l i m_{w \to \infty} c_{w}^{2^{- w}} \approx 0.71$ . In our construction we can have $p_{i} > h (p_{1} . . . p_{i - 1})$ for all i = 1,...,w and any function h: ℝ₊ → ℝ₊.

Determination of a type of permutation trinomials over finite fields

Xiang-dong Hou (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let $f = a x + b x^{q} + x^{2 q - 1} \in_{q} [x]$ . We find explicit conditions on a and b that are necessary and sufficient for f to be a permutation polynomial of $_{q ²}$ . This result allows us to solve a related problem: Let $g_{n, q} \in_{p} [x]$ (n ≥ 0, $p = c h a r_{q}$ ) be the polynomial defined by the functional equation $\sum_{c \in_{q}} {(x + c)}^{n} = g_{n, q} (x^{q} - x)$ . We determine all n of the form $n = q^{α} - q^{β} - 1$ , α > β ≥ 0, for which $g_{n, q}$ is a permutation polynomial of $_{q ²}$ .

Optimality of the Width- $w$ Non-adjacent Form: General Characterisation and the Case of Imaginary Quadratic Bases

Clemens Heuberger, Daniel Krenn (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

We consider digit expansions $\sum_{j = 0}^{ℓ - 1} Φ^{j} (d_{j})$ with an endomorphism $Φ$ of an Abelian group. In such a numeral system, the $w$ -NAF condition (each block of $w$ consecutive digits contains at most one nonzero) is shown to minimise the Hamming weight over all expansions with the same digit set if and only if it fulfills the subadditivity condition (the sum of every two expansions of weight $1$ admits an optimal $w$ -NAF). This result is then applied to imaginary quadratic bases, which are used for scalar...

On some properties of three-dimensional minimal sets in $ℝ^{4}$

Tien Duc Luu (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We prove in this paper the Hölder regularity of Almgren minimal sets of dimension 3 in $ℝ^{4}$ around a $𝕐$ -point and the existence of a point of particular type of a Mumford-Shah minimal set in $ℝ^{4}$ , which is very close to a $𝕋$ . This will give a local description of minimal sets of dimension 3 in $ℝ^{4}$ around a singular point and a property of Mumford-Shah minimal sets in $ℝ^{4}$ .

Another look at real quadratic fields of relative class number 1

Debopam Chakraborty, Anupam Saikia (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

The relative class number $H_{d} (f)$ of a real quadratic field K = ℚ (√m) of discriminant d is defined to be the ratio of the class numbers of $_{f}$ and $_{K}$ , where $_{K}$ denotes the ring of integers of K and $_{f}$ is the order of conductor f given by $ℤ + f_{K}$ . R. Mollin has shown recently that almost all real quadratic fields have relative class number 1 for some conductor. In this paper we give a characterization of real quadratic fields with relative class number 1 through an elementary approach considering the...
