In this paper we give a construction of free 2-crossed modules. By the use of a `step-by-step' method based on the work of Andr e, we will give a description of crossed algebraic models for the steps in the construction of a free simplicial resolution of an algebra. This involves the introduction of the notion of a free 2-crossed module of algebras.

Let K be a totally real number field with Galois closure L. We prove that if f ∈ Q[x1, . . . , xn] is a sum of m squares in K[x1, . . . , xn], then f is a sum of 4m · 2[L:Q]+1 ([L : Q] + 1 2 ) squares in Q[x1, . . . , xn]. Moreover, our argument is constructive and generalizes to the case of commutative K-algebras. This result gives a partial resolution to a question of Sturmfels on the algebra...

Motivic integration is a powerful technique to prove that certain quantities associated to algebraic varieties are birational invariants or are independent of a chosen resolution of singularities. We survey our recent work on an extension of the theory of motivic integration, called arithmetic motivic integration. We developed this theory to understand how p-adic integrals of a very general typ...

In this work we present a method, based on the use of Bernstein polynomials, for the numerical resolution of some boundary values problems. The computations have not need of particular approximations of derivatives, such as finite differences, or particular techniques, such as finite elements. Also, the method doesn’t require the use of matrices, as in resolution of linear algebraic systems, no...

A simple algebraic approach to synthesis Fibonacci Switched Capacitor Converters (SCC) is analyzed and the expected losses are estimated. The proposed approach reduces the power losses by increasing the number of target voltages. The synthesized Fibonacci SCC is compatible with the binary SCC and uses the same switch network. This feature is extremely beneficial since it provides the option to ...

Based students' arguments, evidence is shown ...

We formulate a number of new results in Algebraic Geometry and outline their derivation from Theorem 2.12 which belongs to Combinatorics.
