Strongly definite polynomials.

Some new families of definite polynomials and the composition conjectures

The planar polynomial vector fields with a center at the origin can be written as an scalar differential equation, for example Abel equation. If the coefficients of an Abel equation satisfy the composition condition, then the Abel equation has a center at the origin. Also the composition condition is sufficient for vanishing the first order moments of the coefficients. The composition conjectur...

Definite Matrix Polynomials and their Linearization by Definite Pencils

Hyperbolic matrix polynomials are an important class of Hermitian matrix poly-nomials that contain overdamped quadratics as a special case. They share with definite pencils the spectral property that their eigenvalues are real and semisimple. We extend the definition of hyperbolic matrix polynomial in a way that relaxes the requirement of definiteness of the leading coefficient matrix, yielding...

Strongly Damped Quadratic Matrix Polynomials

We study the eigenvalues and eigenspaces of the quadratic matrix polynomial Mλ + sDλ + K as s → ∞, where M and K are symmetric positive definite and D is symmetric positive semi-definite. The work is motivated by its application to modal analysis of finite element models with strong linear damping. Our results yield a mathematical explanation of why too strong damping may lead to practically un...

Strongly stable ideals and Hilbert polynomials

Strongly stable ideals are a key tool in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. These ideals have nice combinatorial properties that makes them well suited for both theoretical and computational applications. In the case of polynomial rings with coefficients in a field with characteristic zero, the notion of strongly stable ideals coincides with the notion of Borel-fixed ideals. Ideals of ...
