Mahler Measure and Values of Regulators
2:00pm|S-101

The Mahler measure of an n-variable polynomial P can be defined as the integral of log|P| over the n-dimensional unit torus T^n with the Haar measure. While the algebraic nature of the values of Mahler measure for the one-variable case is well...

Fitting a Smooth Function to Data
4:00pm|S-101

Suppose we are given a finite subset E in an n-dimensional real space, and a real valued function f defined on E. How to extend f to a C^m smooth function F, defined on the entire R^n, with C^m norm of the smallest possible order of magnitude? We...
