Minimal degree of a polynomial such that $|p(z_1)| > |p(z_2)|, |p(z_3)|, ..., |p(z_n)|$
I was investigating the behavior of $p(x)^n \mod {q(x)}$, for some polynomials $p, q \in \mathbb{C}[x]$. We'll assume $q$ is squarefree. If $q(x) = (x - z_1) (x - z_2) (x - z_3) ... (x - z_n)$ for ...

Description of a point cloud being "undersampled" wrt persistent homology, confidence level?
I am completely new to topological data analysis, so I apologise if this is a well-known area of persistent homology, as well as for any imprecise language.
Suppose we know completely the topological ...

Planar convex region maximizing the difference in 'orientation' between its smallest containing rectangle and largest contained rectangle
We say a rectangle has orientation $\theta$ if the vector from its center to the middle of its shortest side (parallel to the longest side) has some angle $\theta$ with X axis.
Consider a planar ...
