Universal truth of operator statements via ideal membership
Georg Regensburger, Clemens Hofstadler, Clemens Raab
Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra 230(108221), pp. 0-0. 2026. 0022-4049. [doi]author = {Georg Regensburger and Clemens Hofstadler and Clemens Raab},
title = {{Universal truth of operator statements via ideal membership}},
language = {english},
abstract = {We introduce a framework for proving statements about linear operators by verification of ideal membership in a free algebra. More specifically, arbitrary first-order statements about identities of morphisms in preadditive semicategories can be treated. We present a semi-decision procedure for validity of such formulas based on computations with noncommutative polynomials. These algebraic computations automatically incorporate linearity and benefit from efficient ideal membership procedures.In the framework, domains and codomains of operators are modelled using many-sorted first-order logic. To eliminate quantifiers and function symbols from logical formulas, we apply Herbrand's theorem and Ackermann's reduction. The validity of the resulting formulas is shown to be equivalent to finitely many ideal memberships of noncommutative polynomials. We explain all relevant concepts and discuss computational aspects. Furthermore, we illustrate our framework by proving concrete operator statements assisted by our computer algebra software.},

Refuting noncommutative ideal memberschip via matrix certificates
Georg Regensburger, Clemens Hofstadler, Peter Krug
In: Proceedings of ISSAC 2026, Christoph Koutschan, Alin Bostan, Clement pernet, Thi Xuan Vu (ed.), pp. 209-218. 2026. 979-8-4007-2595-1. [doi]author = {Georg Regensburger and Clemens Hofstadler and Peter Krug},
title = {{Refuting noncommutative ideal memberschip via matrix certificates}},
booktitle = {{Proceedings of ISSAC 2026}},
language = {english},
abstract = {The ideal membership problem in free algebras is undecidable in general. More precisely, while membership can always be verified in finite time (e.g., via noncommutative Gröbner bases), non-membership is undecidable in general.In this work, we introduce matrix certificates for refuting ideal membership of (commutative and) noncommutative polynomials. Such certificates are matrix evaluations that vanish on the generators of an ideal but not on a given candidate polynomial. For commutative polynomials, a perfect Nullstellensatz guarantees the existence of such certificates with commuting square matrices. For noncommutative polynomials, certificates may require non-square matrices or may not exist at all. To handle evaluations on non-square matrices, we use quivers and their matrix representations.We have implemented an approach for finding matrix certificates by ansatz in SageMath and demonstrate its effectiveness on different examples. Our method relies on the ability to efficiently find one (simple) solution to a system of commutative polynomial equations, which we do by combining SAT solving with Hensel lifting. Our experiments suggest that, in practice, ideal (non-)membership can be efficiently decided and certified.},

Parametrized systems of generalized polynomial inequalities via linear algebra and convex geometry
Georg Regensburger, Stefan Müller
Positivity 30(4), pp. 0-0. 2026. 1385-1292. [url]author = {Georg Regensburger and Stefan Müller},
title = {{Parametrized systems of generalized polynomial inequalities via linear algebra and convex geometry}},
language = {english},
abstract = {We provide fundamental results on positive solutions to parametrized systems of generalized polynomial inequalities (with real exponents and positive parameters), including generalized polynomial equations. In doing so, we also offer a new perspective on fewnomials and (generalized) mass-action systems. We find that geometric objects, rather than matrices, determine generalized polynomial systems: a bounded set/“polytope” P (arising from the coefficient matrix) and two subspaces representing monomial differences and dependencies (arising from the exponent matrix). The dimension of the latter subspace, the monomial dependency d, is crucial. As our main result, we rewrite polynomial inequalities in terms of d binomial equations on P, involving d monomials in the parameters. In particular, we establish an explicit bijection between the original solution set and the solution set on P via exponentiation. (i) Our results apply to any generalized polynomial system. (ii) The dependency d and the dimension of P indicate the complexity of a system. (iii) Our results are based on methods from linear algebra and convex/polyhedral geometry, and the solution set on P can be further studied using methods from analysis such as sign-characteristic functions (introduced in this work). We illustrate our results (in particular, the relevant geometric objects) through three examples from real fewnomial and reaction network theory. For two mass-action systems, we parametrize the set of equilibria and the region for multistationarity, respectively, and even for univariate trinomials, we offer new insights: We provide a “solution formula” involving discriminants and “roots”.},

The $q$-extension of iterated integrals and nested sums in quantum field theory

title = {{The $q$-extension of iterated integrals and nested sums in quantum field theory}},
language = {english},
abstract = {Analytic calculations of zero- and single-scale quantities in perturbative quantum fieldtheory result into special numbers and functions, the first of which have been revealed during the last decades. These are generalizations of the polylogarithm in form of Kummer-Poincar'e iterative integrals over special alphabets and extensions thereof.With growing order in the coupling constant, the polylogarithms, Nielsen integrals, the iterated integrals over linear denominator terms, cyclotomic letters, letters induced by quadratic forms, square-root valued letters, and more general functions contribute. For the nested sums we consider nested harmonic sums, generalized harmonic sums,nested sums implied by quadratic forms, cyclotomic harmonic sums, and nested sumscontaining central binomials. We construct the $q$-extensions of these special functions and of the nested sums, which are associated to them by the series expansion at $x=0$, and their Mellin transform in the $q$-free case. These functions are expected to play a role in perturbative calculations in the case of $q$-deformed commutation relations. For the simpler function spaces closed form solutions are presented. For more involvedalphabets we present the algorithmic steps leading to the $q$-extension for the individual cases. We also derive the determining differential and difference equations of these higher transcendental functions. The $q$-extended special functions arequite different form the corresponding $mu$-extended functions.},

The fundamental theorem of calculus in differential rings

Advances in Mathematics 447(109676), pp. 0-50. 2024. 0001-8708. [url]author = {Georg Regensburger and Clemens Raab},
title = {{The fundamental theorem of calculus in differential rings}},
language = {english},
abstract = {In this paper, we study the consequences of the fundamental theorem of calculus from an algebraic point of view. For functions with singularities, this leads to a generalized notion of evaluation. We investigate properties of such integro-differential rings and discuss many examples. We also construct corresponding integro-differential operators and provide normal forms via rewrite rules. They are then used to derive several identities and properties in a purely algebraic way, generalizing well-known results from analysis. In identities like shuffle relations for nested integrals and the Taylor formula, additional terms are obtained that take singularities into account. Another focus lies on treating basics of linear ODEs in this framework of integro-differential operators. These operators can have matrix coefficients, which allow to treat systems of arbitrary size in a unified way. In the appendix, using tensor reduction systems, we give the technical details of normal forms and prove them for operators including other functionals besides evaluation.},

Sufficient Conditions for Linear Stability of Complex-Balanced Equilibria in Generalized Mass-Action Systems
Georg Regensburger, Stefan Müller
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems 23, pp. 325-357. 2024. 1536-0040. [doi]author = {Georg Regensburger and Stefan Müller},
title = {{Sufficient Conditions for Linear Stability of Complex-Balanced Equilibria in Generalized Mass-Action Systems}},
language = {english},
abstract = {Generalized mass-action systems are power-law dynamical systems arising from chemical reaction networks. Essentially, every nonnegative ODE model used in chemistry and biology (for example, in ecology and epidemiology) and even in economics and engineering can be written in this form. Previous results have focused on existence and uniqueness of special steady states (complex-balanced equilibria) for all rate constants, thereby ruling out multiple (special) steady states. Recently, necessary conditions for linear stability have been obtained. In this work, we provide sufficient conditions for the linear stability of complex-balanced equilibria for all rate constants (and also for the nonexistence of other steady states). In particular, via sign vector conditions (on the stoichiometric coefficients and kinetic orders), we guarantee that the Jacobian matrix is a (P)-matrix. Technically, we use a new decomposition of the graph Laplacian which allows us to consider orders of (generalized) monomials. Alternatively, we use cycle decomposition which allows a linear parametrization of all Jacobian matrices. In any case, we guarantee stability without explicit computation of steady states. We illustrate our results in examples from chemistry and biology: generalized Lotka–Volterra systems and SIR models, a two-component signaling system, and an enzymatic futile cycle.},
