A result is proved concerning meromorphic functions of finite order in the plane such that all but finitely many zeros of the second derivative are zeros of the first derivative.

We present a new approach to solving polynomial ordinary differential equations by transforming them to linear functional equations and then solving the linear functional equations. We will focus most of our attention upon the first-order…

Let $f \in { \mathbb R} ( t) [x]$ be given by $ f(t, x) = x^n + t \cdot g(x) $ and $\beta_1 < \dots < \beta_m$ the distinct real roots of the discriminant $\Delta_{(f, x)} (t)$ of $f(t, x)$ with respect to $x$. Let $\gamma$ be the number of…

The goal of this work is to characterize all second order difference operators of several variables that have discrete orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions. Under some mild assumptions, we give a complete solution of the problem.

In this article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…

We study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear and quadratic polynomial coefficients. We show that the set of non-isolated limits of zeros of the polynomials is the closure of…

We study the probability distribution of the number of zeros of multivariable polynomials with bounded degree over a finite field. We find the probability generating function for each set of bounded degree polynomials. In particular, in the…

The relationship between a polynomial's zeros and factors is well known. If a is a zero of f(x) then (x-a) is a factor of f(x). In this paper, we generalize this idea to polynomials of two variables and with real coefficients. We consider…

In this paper, we obtain several new classes of irreducible polynomials having integer coefficients whose zeros lie inside an open disk around the origin or outside a closed annular region in the complex plane. Such irreducible polynomials…

In the present paper we consider $F_k(x)=x^{k}-\sum_{t=0}^{k-1}x^t,$ the characteristic polynomial of the $k$-th order Fibonacci sequence, the latter denoted $G(k,l).$ We determine the limits of the real roots of certain odd and even degree…

We give two elementary proofs, at a level understandable by students with only pre-calculus knowledge of Algebra, of the well known fact that an irreducible irrational n-th root of a positive rational number cannot be solution of a…

We present upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of $2 \times 2$ operator matrices which improves on the existing bound for the same. As an application of the results obtained we give a better estimation for the zeros of a…

We prove a lower bound on the canonical height associated to polynomials over number fields evaluated at points with infinite forward orbit. The lower bound depends only on the degree of the polynomial, the degree of the number field, and…

Cubic and quartic non-autonomous differential equations with continuous piecewise linear coefficients are considered. The main concern is to find the maximum possible multiplicity of periodic solutions. For many classes, we show that the…

In this article, we give an account of some recent irreducibility testing criteria for polynomials having integer coefficients over the field of rational numbers.

The problem of writing real zero polynomials as determinants of linear matrix polynomials has recently attracted a lot of attention. Helton and Vinnikov have proved that any real zero polynomial in two variables has a determinantal…
