Approximating a Norm by a Polynomial [PDF]
We prove that for any norm |*| in the d-dimensional real vector space V and for any odd n>0 there is a non-negative polynomial p(x), x in V of degree 2n such that p^{1/2n}(x) < |x| < c(n,d) p^{1/2n}(x), where c(n,d)={n+d-1 choose n}^{1/2n}. Corollaries and polynomial approximations of the Minkowski functional of a convex body are discussed.

A Polynomial Quantum Algorithm for Approximating the Jones Polynomial [PDF]
The Jones polynomial, discovered in 1984, is an important knot invariant in topology. Among its many connections to various mathematical and physical areas, it is known (due to Witten) to be intimately connected to Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT).

The complexity of combinatorial optimization problems on d‐dimensional boxes [PDF]
The Maximum Independent Set problem in d-box graphs, i.e., in intersection graphs of axis-parallel rectangles in R-d, is known to be NP-hard for any fixed d >= 2.

Structured Low-rank Approximation as a Rational Function Minimization [PDF]
Many problems of system identification, model reduction and signal processing can be posed and solved as a structured low-rank approximation problem (SLRA).

ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

Hardness of submodular cost allocation : lattice matching and a simplex coloring conjecture [PDF]
We consider the Minimum Submodular Cost Allocation (MSCA) problem. In this problem, we are given k submodular cost functions f1, ... , fk: 2V -> R+ and the goal is to partition V into k sets A1, ..., Ak so as to minimize the total cost sumi = 1,k fi(Ai).

Long‐Term Follow‐Up of Chemotherapy‐Associated Biological Aging in Women With Early Breast Cancer
Women threated with adjuvant chemotherapy for early breast cancer have sustained long‐term increase in p16INK4a,, a robust marker of cell senescence, suggesting a chemotherapy‐associated age acceleration. p16INK4a as well as other biomarkers may identify patients at greatest risk for senescence‐related diseases of aging.

NEGATIVE THEOREM FOR LP,0 Journal of Kufa for Mathematics and Computer, 2017
For a given nonnegative integer number n, we can find a monotone function f depending on n, defined on the interval I=[-1,1], and an absolute constant c>0, satisfying the following relationship:
(2〖E_n (f Ì )〗_p)/(n+1)^3 ≤〖E_(n+1)^1 (f)〗_pâ ...

Approximating the Chromatic Polynomial
Chromatic polynomials are important objects in graph theory and statistical physics, but as a result of computational difficulties, their study is limited to graphs that are small, highly structured, or very sparse. We have devised and implemented two algorithms that approximate the coefficients of the chromatic polynomial $P(G,x)$, where $P(G,k)$ is ...

Chebyshev multivariate polynomial approximation and point reduction procedure
We apply the methods of nonsmooth and convex analysis to extend the study of Chebyshev (uniform) approximation for univariate polynomial functions to the case of general multivariate functions (not just polynomials).
