On the weighted Euclidean matching problem in d

Birgit Anthes, Ludger Rüschendorf (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

A partitioning algorithm for the Euclidean matching problem in d is introduced and analyzed in a probabilistic model. The algorithm uses elements from the fixed dissection algorithm of Karp and Steele (1985) and the Zig-Zag algorithm of Halton and Terada (1982) for the traveling salesman problem. The algorithm runs in expected time n ( l o g n ) p - 1 and approximates the optimal matching in the probabilistic sense.

The minimal resultant locus

Robert Rumely (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let K be a complete, algebraically closed nonarchimedean valued field, and let φ(z) ∈ K(z) have degree d ≥ 2. We study how the resultant of φ varies under changes of coordinates. For γ ∈ GL₂(K), we show that the map γ o r d ( R e s ( φ γ ) ) factors through a function o r d R e s φ ( · ) on the Berkovich projective line, which is piecewise affine and convex up. The minimal resultant is achieved either at a single point in P ¹ K , or on a segment, and the minimal resultant locus is contained in the tree in P ¹ K spanned by the fixed points...

O-minimal version of Whitney's extension theorem

Krzysztof Kurdyka, Wiesław Pawłucki (2014)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

This is a generalized and improved version of our earlier article [Studia Math. 124 (1997)] on the Whitney extension theorem for subanalytic p -Whitney fields (with p finite). In this new version we consider Whitney fields definable in an arbitrary o-minimal structure on any real closed field R and obtain an extension which is a p -function definable in the same o-minimal structure. The Whitney fields that we consider are defined on any locally closed definable subset of Rⁿ. In such a...

On the average value of the canonical height in higher dimensional families of elliptic curves

Wei Pin Wong (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Given an elliptic curve E over a function field K = ℚ(T₁,...,Tₙ), we study the behavior of the canonical height h ̂ E ω of the specialized elliptic curve E ω with respect to the height of ω ∈ ℚⁿ. We prove that there exists a uniform nonzero lower bound for the average of the quotient ( h ̂ E ω ( P ω ) ) / h ( ω ) over all nontorsion P ∈ E(K).

Some examples of 5 and 7 descent for elliptic curves over Q

Tom Fisher (2001)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We perform descent calculations for the families of elliptic curves over Q with a rational point of order n = 5 or 7. These calculations give an estimate for the Mordell-Weil rank which we relate to the parity conjecture. We exhibit explicit elements of the Tate-Shafarevich group of order 5 and 7, and show that the 5-torsion of the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve over Q may become arbitrarily large.

An improvement of Euclid's algorithm

Zítko, Jan, Kuřátko, Jan

Similarity:

The paper introduces the calculation of a greatest common divisor of two univariate polynomials. Euclid’s algorithm can be easily simulated by the reduction of the Sylvester matrix to an upper triangular form. This is performed by using c - s transformation and Q R -factorization methods. Both procedures are described and numerically compared. Computations are performed in the floating point environment.

Elliptic curves over function fields with a large set of integral points

Ricardo P. Conceição (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We construct isotrivial and non-isotrivial elliptic curves over q ( t ) with an arbitrarily large set of separable integral points. As an application of this construction, we prove that there are isotrivial log-general type varieties over q ( t ) with a Zariski dense set of separable integral points. This provides a counterexample to a natural translation of the Lang-Vojta conjecture to the function field setting. We also show that our main result provides examples of elliptic curves with an explicit...

Infinite rank of elliptic curves over a b

Bo-Hae Im, Michael Larsen (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

If E is an elliptic curve defined over a quadratic field K, and the j-invariant of E is not 0 or 1728, then E ( a b ) has infinite rank. If E is an elliptic curve in Legendre form, y² = x(x-1)(x-λ), where ℚ(λ) is a cubic field, then E ( K a b ) has infinite rank. If λ ∈ K has a minimal polynomial P(x) of degree 4 and v² = P(u) is an elliptic curve of positive rank over ℚ, we prove that y² = x(x-1)(x-λ) has infinite rank over K a b .

Implicitization of Parametric Hypersurfaces via Points

Ferruccio Orecchia, Isabella Ramella (2018)

Rendiconto dell’Accademia delle Scienze Fisiche e Matematiche

Similarity:

Given a parametric polynomial representation of an algebraic hypersurface 𝐒 in the projective space we give a new algorithm for finding the implicit cartesian equation of 𝐒 .The algorithm is based on finding a suitable finite number of points on 𝐒 and computing, by linear algebra, the equation of the hypersurface of least degree that passes through the points. In particular the algorithm works for plane curves and surfaces in the ordinary three-dimensional space. Using C++ the algorithm...

A note on minimal zero-sum sequences over ℤ

Papa A. Sissokho (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

A zero-sum sequence over ℤ is a sequence with terms in ℤ that sum to 0. It is called minimal if it does not contain a proper zero-sum subsequence. Consider a minimal zero-sum sequence over ℤ with positive terms a , . . . , a h and negative terms b , . . . , b k . We prove that h ≤ ⌊σ⁺/k⌋ and k ≤ ⌊σ⁺/h⌋, where σ = i = 1 h a i = - j = 1 k b j . These bounds are tight and improve upon previous results. We also show a natural partial order structure on the collection of all minimal zero-sum sequences over the set i∈ ℤ : -n ≤ i ≤ n for any positive...
