Given a symmetric polynomial $P$ in $2n$ variables, there exists a unique symmetric polynomial $Q$ in $n$ variables such that \[ P(x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n^{-1}) =Q(x_1+x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n+x_n^{-1}). \] We denote this polynomial…

Numerous results on self-reciprocal polynomials over finite fields have been studied. In this paper we generalize some of these to a-self reciprocal polynomials defined in [4]. We consider some properties of the divisibility of a-reciprocal…

We define an n-dimensional polytope Pi_n(x), depending on parameters x_i>0, whose combinatorial properties are closely connected with empirical distributions, plane trees, plane partitions, parking functions, and the associahedron. In…

For each integer $n\geq 1$ we consider the unique polynomials $P, Q\in\mathbb{Q}[x]$ of smallest degree $n$ that are solutions of the equation $P(x)x^{n+1}+Q(x)(x+1)^{n+1}=1$. We derive numerous properties of these polynomials and their…

An integer $n$ is said to be \textit{arithmetic} if the arithmetic mean of its divisors is an integer. In this paper, using properties of the factorization of values of cyclotomic polynomials, we characterize arithmetic numbers. As an…

Let $f(x)=x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_0$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients. For a prime $p$ for which $f(x)$ is fully splitting modulo $ p$, we consider $n$ roots $r_i$ of $f(x)\equiv 0\bmod p$ with $0 \le r_1\le\dots\le…

Consider a random polynomial $Q_n$ of degree $n+1$ whose zeroes are i.i.d. random variables $\xi_0,\xi_1,\ldots,\xi_n$ in the complex plane. We study the pairing between the zeroes of $Q_n$ and its critical points, i.e. the zeroes of its…

We show that a monic univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero, with $k$ distinct non-zero known roots, is determined by its $k$ proper leading coefficients by providing an explicit algorithm for computing the multiplicities…

In this paper, we show that if $m$ and $n$ are distinct positive integers and $x$ is a nonzero real number with $\Phi_m(x)=\Phi_n(x)$, then $\frac{1}{2}<|x|<2$ except when $\{m,n\}=\{2,6\}$ and $x=2$. We also observe that 2 appears to be…

This paper is devoted to several new results concerning (standard) octonion polynomials. The first is the determination of the roots of all right scalar multiples of octonion polynomials. The roots of left multiples are also discussed,…

In this paper we consider the minimal polynomial $\psi_n(x)$ of $2\cos (2\pi /n)$. We introduce some polynomial sequences with the same recurrence relation as the rescaled Chebyshev polynomials $t_n(x)=2\, T_n(x/2)$ of the first kind, which…

Cyclotomic polynomials play an important role in several areas of mathematics and their study has a very long history, which goes back at least to Gauss (1801). In particular, the properties of their coefficients have been intensively…

In this paper we consider monic polynomials such that their coefficients coincide with their zeros. These polynomials were first introduced by S. Ulam. We combine methods of algebraic geometry and dynamical systems to prove several results.…

It is known that two consecutive coefficients of a ternary cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{pqr}(x)=\sum_k a_{pqr}(k)x^k$ differ by at most one. In this paper we give a criterion on $k$ to satisfy $|a_{pqr}(k)-a_{pqr}(k-1)|=1$. We use this to…

Consider a polynomial of large degree n whose coefficients are independent, identically distributed, nondegenerate random variables having zero mean and finite moments of all orders. We show that such a polynomial has exactly k real zeros…

Arthur Cohn's irreducibility criterion for polynomials with integer coefficients and its generalization connect primes to irreducibles, and integral bases to the variable $x$. As we follow this link, we find that these polynomials are ready…

Polynomials whose coefficients, roots, and critical points lie in the ring of rational integers are called nice polynomials. In this paper, we present a general method for investigating such polynomials. We extend our results from the ring…

The generic monic polynomial of degree N features N a priori arbitrary coefficients $c_m$ and N zeros $z_n$. In this paper we limit consideration to $N = 8$ and $N = 9$. We show that if the $N$ -- a priori arbitrary -- coefficients $c_m$ of…
