Abstract

Write ζm(n)\zeta_m(n), 1mn11\le m\le n-1, for the negative zeros of the nn-th Bell polynomial, ordered in decreasing size. In this paper, we prove the following asymptotic: for a positive integer mm we have limnζm(n)m(mm+1)n1=1. \lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{\zeta_m(n)}{-m\left(\displaystyle\frac{m}{m+1}\right)^{n-1}}=1. The approach used to find this asymptotic applies to many other significant families of polynomials. In particular, analogous asymptotics are also proved for the negative rightmost zeros of Eulerian polynomials, rr-Bell polynomials, linear combinations of KK consecutive Bell polynomials and many others.
