### Rational functions and polynomials evaluated on a set of points

Let $S$ be a collection of points on the real line. Let $\{x_i\}_{i=1}^n$ take values in $S$. Consider a polynomial $p(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n)$ over $\mathbb R[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n]$ of degree $d$ which ...

### The continuum hypothesis for packing shapes without overlapping

Consider the finite cross $C$ (=union of line segments $\overline{(0, -1)(0, 1)}$ and $\overline{(-1, 0)(1, 0)}$) and the unit half-circle $H$. It is easy to see that we may pack continuum-many ...

### Floating point evaluation with taylor series and matlab [closed]

I know how to do part (a) and I know that f2 is better at avoiding the pit falls, but I'm not entirely sure why, I know it has to do with catastrophic cancelation. I also don't know how to relate the ...

### Average entropy of quantum system in bipartite pure state for finite temperature

[I got halfway through writing this when I found the paper that answers the question in (essentially) the affirmative. I'll post it anyways in case anyone is interested.] Background: If a random ...

### Does the Gamma function preserve integers?

Does the Gamma function $\Gamma: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ preserve the Kummer ring $\mathbb{Z}[\exp(2\pi\imath/m)]$? And if not, then what about the Gaussian integers $\mathbb{Z}[\imath]$ or the ...
