"Nice" Rational Functions

Number Theory 2013-12-09 v1

Abstract

We consider simple rational functions Rmn(x)=Pm(x)/Qn(x)R_{mn}(x)=P_m(x)/Q_n(x), with PmP_m and QnQ_n polynomials of degree mm and nn respectively. We look for "nice" functions, which we define to be ones where as many as possible of the roots, poles, critical points and (possibly) points of inflexion are integer or, at worst, rational.
