Probability of coprime polynomials
Given positive integer $N$, we choose $m_1, m_2, n_1, n_2$ independently and with equal probabilities from $\{0,1,\ldots,N\}$, and let
$f_1 = x^{m_1} + (1+x)^{n_1}$ and $f_2 = x^{m_2} + (1+x)^{n_2}$ ...

(Expected) Size of smallest singular value of a Vandermonde matrix associated to roots of polynomial
Let $n,H$ two fixed positive integers.
Let $P\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ a monic integral polynomial of height $H$ and degree $n$ taken uniformly at random (i.e. each of the $n$ free coefficients of $P$ is ...

Random Diophantine polynomials: Percent solvable?
Suppose one generates a random polynomial
of degree $d$ with integer coefficients
uniformly distributed within $[-c_\max,c_\max]$.
For example, for
$d=8$, $|c_\max|=100$, here is one random polynomial:...

Counting lattice points on an n-simplex
Imagine an n-simplex, the solution set for the expression: $a_1$*$x_1$ + $a_2$*$x_2$ + ... + $a_n$*$x_n$ = S, where:
$a_1$ through $a_n$ are positive bounded integers
$x_1$ through $x_n$ are ...
