Abstract

The expected number of zeros of a random real polynomial of degree NN asymptotically equals 2πlogN\frac{2}{\pi}\log N. On the other hand, the average fraction of real zeros of a random trigonometric polynomial of increasing degree NN converges to not 00 but to 1/31/\sqrt 3. An average number of roots of a system of random trigonometric polynomials in several variables is equal to the mixed volume of some ellipsoids depending on the degrees of polynomials. Comparing this formula with Theorem BKK we prove that the phenomenon of nonzero fraction of real roots remains valid.
