We present a new positive lower bound for the minimum value taken by a polynomial P with integer coefficients in k variables over the standard simplex of Rk , assuming that P is p...
We derive upper and lower bounds on the dimensions of trivariate spline spaces defined on tetrahedral partitions. The results hold for general partitions, and for all degrees of sm...
The Nearest Codeword Problem (NCP) is a basic algorithmic question in the theory of error-correcting codes. Given a point v ∈ Fn 2 and a linear space L ⊆ Fn 2 of dimension k NC...
In this paper we study the degree of non-constant symmetric functions f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1, . . . , c}, where c ∈ N, when represented as polynomials over the real numbers. We s...
We show that many rational parametric curves can be interpolated, in a Hermite sense, by polynomial curves whose degree, relative to the number of data being interpolated, is lowe...
