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.

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...

Consecutive primes in tuples

William D. Banks, Tristan Freiberg, Caroline L. Turnage-Butterbaugh (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

In a stunning new advance towards the Prime k-Tuple Conjecture, Maynard and Tao have shown that if k is sufficiently large in terms of m, then for an admissible k-tuple $(x) = {g x + h_{j}}_{j = 1}^{k}$ of linear forms in ℤ[x], the set $(n) = {g n + h_{j}}_{j = 1}^{k}$ contains at least m primes for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ. In this note, we deduce that $(n) = {g n + h_{j}}_{j = 1}^{k}$ contains at least m consecutive primes for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ. We answer an old question of Erdős and Turán by producing strings of m + 1 consecutive primes whose successive gaps $δ_{1}, . . ., δ_{m}$ form an increasing...

We consider the space $^{ℳ}$ of ultradifferentiable functions with compact supports and the space of polynomials on $^{ℳ}$ . A description of the space $(^{ℳ})$ of polynomial ultradistributions as a locally convex direct sum is given.

Isometries of quadratic spaces

Eva Bayer-Fluckiger (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $k$ be a global field of characteristic not 2, and let $f \in k [X]$ be an irreducible polynomial. We show that a non-degenerate quadratic space has an isometry with minimal polynomial $f$ if and only if such an isometry exists over all the completions of $k$ . This gives a partial answer to a question of Milnor.

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 $R (n, d) = d {(3 d - 3)}^{n - 1}$ .

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...

Density of solutions to quadratic congruences

Neha Prabhu (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A classical result in number theory is Dirichlet’s theorem on the density of primes in an arithmetic progression. We prove a similar result for numbers with exactly $k$ prime factors for $k > 1$ . Building upon a proof by E. M. Wright in 1954, we compute the natural density of such numbers where each prime satisfies a congruence condition. As an application, we obtain the density of squarefree $n \leq x$ with $k$ prime factors such that a fixed quadratic equation has exactly $2^{k}$ solutions modulo $n$ . ...

Recurrences for the coefficients of series expansions with respect to classical orthogonal polynomials

Stanislaw Lewanowicz (2002)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let $P_{k}$ be any sequence of classical orthogonal polynomials. Further, let f be a function satisfying a linear differential equation with polynomial coefficients. We give an algorithm to construct, in a compact form, a recurrence relation satisfied by the coefficients $a_{k}$ in $f = \sum_{k} a_{k} P_{k}$ . A systematic use of the basic properties (including some nonstandard ones) of the polynomials $P_{k}$ results in obtaining a low order of the recurrence.

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...

On the lattice of polynomials with integer coefficients: the covering radius in $L_{p} (0, 1)$

Wojciech Banaszczyk, Artur Lipnicki (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

The paper deals with the approximation by polynomials with integer coefficients in $L_{p} (0, 1)$ , 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. Let $P_{n, r}$ be the space of polynomials of degree ≤ n which are divisible by the polynomial $x^{r} {(1 - x)}^{r}$ , r ≥ 0, and let $P_{n, r}^{ℤ} \subset P_{n, r}$ be the set of polynomials with integer coefficients. Let $μ (P_{n, r}^{ℤ}; L_{p})$ be the maximal distance of elements of $P_{n, r}$ from $P_{n, r}^{ℤ}$ in $L_{p} (0, 1)$ . We give rather precise quantitative estimates of $μ (P_{n, r}^{ℤ}; L ₂)$ for n ≳ 6r. Then we obtain similar, somewhat less precise, estimates of $μ (P_{n, r}^{ℤ}; L_{p})$ for p ≠ 2. It follows that $μ (P_{n, r}^{ℤ}; L_{p}) ≍ n^{- 2 r - 2 / p}$ as n → ∞. The results...

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₊.

On the Gauss-Lucas'lemma in positive characteristic

Umberto Bartocci, Maria Cristina Vipera (1988)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti

Similarity:

If $f(x)$ is a polynomial with coefficients in the field of complex numbers, of positive degree $n$ , then $f(x)$ has at least one root a with the following property: if $\mu\leq k\leq n$ , where $\mu$ is the multiplicity of $\alpha$ , then $f^{(k)}(\alpha)\neq 0$ (such a root is said to be a "free" root of $f(x)$ ). This is a consequence of the so-called Gauss-Lucas'lemma. One could conjecture that this property remains true for polynomials (of degree $n$ ) with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic $p>n$ (Sudbery's Conjecture). In this paper it...

On sets of polynomials whose difference set contains no squares

Thái Hoàng Lê, Yu-Ru Liu (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let $_{q} [t]$ be the polynomial ring over the finite field $_{q}$ , and let $_{N}$ be the subset of $_{q} [t]$ containing all polynomials of degree strictly less than N. Define D(N) to be the maximal cardinality of a set $A \subseteq_{N}$ for which A-A contains no squares of polynomials. By combining the polynomial Hardy-Littlewood circle method with the density increment technology developed by Pintz, Steiger and Szemerédi, we prove that $D (N) ≪ q^{N} {(l o g N)}^{7} / N$ .

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and p ≥ 1 let $κ_{p} (n, L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≠ 0 of the form $P (x) = \sum_{j = 0}^{n} a_{j} x^{j}$ , $| a_{0} | \geq L (\sum_{j = 1}^{n} | a_{j} |^{p}$ 1/p $,$ aj ∈ ℂ $,$ such that ${(x - 1)}^{k}$ divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ and L > 0 let $κ_{\infty} (n, L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≠ 0 of the form $P (x) = \sum_{j = 0}^{n} a_{j} x^{j}$ , $| a_{0} | \geq L m a x_{1 \leq j \leq n} | a_{j} |$ , $a_{j} \in ℂ$ , such that ${(x - 1)}^{k}$ divides P(x). We prove that there are absolute constants c₁ > 0 and c₂ > 0 such that $c_{1} \sqrt (n / L) - 1 \leq κ_{\infty} (n, L) \leq c_{2} \sqrt (n / L)$ for every L ≥ 1. This complements an earlier result of the authors valid for every n ∈ ℕ and L ∈...

A Green's function for θ-incomplete polynomials

Joe Callaghan (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let K be any subset of $ℂ^{N}$ . We define a pluricomplex Green’s function $V_{K, θ}$ for θ-incomplete polynomials. We establish properties of $V_{K, θ}$ analogous to those of the weighted pluricomplex Green’s function. When K is a regular compact subset of $ℝ^{N}$ , we show that every continuous function that can be approximated uniformly on K by θ-incomplete polynomials, must vanish on $K ∖ s u p p {(d d^{c} V_{K, θ})}^{N}$ . We prove a version of Siciak’s theorem and a comparison theorem for θ-incomplete polynomials. We compute $s u p p {(d d^{c} V_{K, θ})}^{N}$ when K is a compact...

Associated primes, integral closures and ideal topologies

Reza Naghipour (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let ⊆ be ideals of a Noetherian ring R, and let N be a non-zero finitely generated R-module. The set Q̅*(,N) of quintasymptotic primes of with respect to N was originally introduced by McAdam. Also, it has been shown by Naghipour and Schenzel that the set $A *_{a} (, N) : = ⋃_{n \geq 1} A s s_{R} R / {(ⁿ)}_{a}^{(N)}$ of associated primes is finite. The purpose of this paper is to show that the topology on N defined by ${{(ⁿ)}_{a}^{(N)} :_{R} ⟨ ⟩}_{n \geq 1}$ is finer than the topology defined by ${(ⁿ)}_{a}^{(N)}_{n \geq 1}$ if and only if $A *_{a} (, N)$ is disjoint from the quintasymptotic primes of with respect to N. Moreover,...
