Generalized GCDs as Applications of Vojta’s Conjecture
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-31)Starting with an analysis of the result that for any coprime integers a and b, and some ϵ > 0, we have eventually that gcd(a^n − 1,b^n − 1) < a^ϵn holds for all n, we are motivated to look for geometric reasons why this ... -
Matrix Polynomials and their Lower Rank Approximations
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-07)This thesis is a wide ranging work on computing a “lower-rank” approximation of a matrix polynomial using second-order non-linear optimization techniques. Two notions of rank are investigated. The first is the rank as the ...
