Abstract

It follows from the Garloff-Wagner Theorem that the set of stable polynomials of degree nn, denoted by Hn\mathcal{H}_n, i.e., those whose zeros all lie in the open left complex half-plane, with the Hadamard product *, forms an abelian semigroup contained in the abelian group Rn+\mathbb{R}_n^+ of polynomials of degree nn with positive real coefficients. By the idealizer of the set Hn\mathcal{H}_n, we refer to the largest subsemigroup of Rn+\mathbb{R}_n^+ in which Hn\mathcal{H}_n is an ideal. In this paper, we formulate a conjecture characterizing the idealizer of Hn\mathcal{H}_n and prove it for n5n \leqslant 5. In addition, we show that the proposed condition is necessary for any polynomial to belong to the idealizer and establish, in a distinguished special case, a sufficient condition of a similar nature that supports the conjecture.
