Root Dynamics of Differentiated Polynomials with Rotationally Invariant Structure
Abstract
The dynamics of polynomial roots under repeated differentiation has recently been conjectured to converge to a limiting measure governed by specific nonlinear PDEs, the conjectures being shown in some particular settings. For rotationally invariant initial distributions, a deterministic structured sampling model placing roots on concentric circles was recently introduced by Galligo, Najnudel, and Vu. In this paper, the authors proved convergence under the technical growth condition , where is the number of circles and is the number of points per circle. In this paper, we significantly improve this result by relaxing the growth condition to , thus allowing for regimes where the number of points per circle grows proportionally to the number of circles. The key innovation is a refined upper bound on the root magnitudes after differentiation. This sharper estimate prevents the rapid accumulation of errors over multiple differentiations, fully validating a recent conjecture regarding the robustness of the sampling scheme.
