Interactions of zeros of of polynomials and multiplicity matrices
Abstract
An multiplicity matrix is a matrix with rows enumerated by and columns enumerated by whose coordinates are nonnegative integers satisfying the following two properties: (1) If , then and , and (2) the th column sum of satisfies the inequality for all . Let be a field of characteristic 0 and let be a polynomial of degree with coefficients in . Let be the th derivative of . Let be a sequence of distinct elements of . For and , let be the multiplicity of as a zero of the polynomial . The matrix is called the multiplicity matrix of the polynomial with respect to . An open problem is to classify the multiplicity matrices that are multiplicity matrices of polynomials in and to construct multiplicity matrices that are not multiplicity matrices of polynomials.
