In further pursuit of a solution to the celebrated nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem, Loewy and London [Linear and Multilinear Algebra 6 (1978/79), no.~1, 83--90] posed the problem of characterizing all polynomials that preserve all…

In this article, we give a representation of bounded complex linear operators which preserve idempotent elements on the Fourier algebra of a locally compact group. When such an operator is moreover positive or contractive, we show that the…

Real linear operators emerge in a range of mathematical physics applications. In this paper spectral questions of compact real linear operators are addressed. A Lomonosov-type invariant subspace theorem for antilinear compact operators is…

This work is divided into three parts. The first part concerns polynomials in one variable with all real roots. We consider linear transformations that preserve real rootedness, as well as matrices that preserve interlacing. The second part…

We study the umbral "classical" orthogonal polynomials with respect to a generalized derivative operator $\cal D$ which acts on monomials as ${\cal D} x^n = \mu_n x^{n-1}$ with some coefficients $\mu_n$. Let $P_n(x)$ be a set of orthogonal…

This note is an introduction to the properties of stable polynomials in several variables with real or complex coefficients. These polynomials are defined in terms of where the polynomial is non-vanishing. We do not cover well-known topics…

We consider bivariate polynomials orthogonal on the bicircle with respect to a positive linear functional. The lexicographical and reverse lexicographical orderings are used to order the monomials. Recurrence formulas are derived between…

In the current short review we present the latest developments on linear maps $T:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, especially of $K$-positivity preserver, i.e., $Tp\geq 0$ on $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ for all…

In this note we introduce a new technique to answer an issue posed in [7] concerning geometric properties of the set of non-surjective linear operators. We also extend and improve a related result from the same paper.

The concept of polynomials in the sense of algebraic analysis, for a single right invertible linear operator, was introduced and studied originally by D. Przeworska-Rolewicz \cite{DPR}. One of the elegant results corresponding with that…

Permutation polynomials with explicit constructions over finite fields have long been a topic of great interest in number theory. In recent years, by applying linear translators of functions from $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ to $\mathbb{F}_q$, many…

In their classic 1914 paper, Polya and Schur introduced and characterized two types of linear operators acting diagonally on the monomial basis of R[x], sending real-rooted polynomials (resp. polynomials with all nonzero roots of the same…

Univariate polynomials with only real roots -- while special -- do occur often enough that their properties can lead to interesting conclusions in diverse areas. Due mainly to the recent work of two young mathematicians, Julius Borcea and…

We follow a stream of the history of positive matrices and positive functionals, as applied to algebraic sums of squares decompositions, with emphasis on the interaction between classical moment problems, function theory of one or several…

A classical result by Schoenberg (1942) identifies all real-valued functions that preserve positive semidefiniteness (psd) when applied entrywise to matrices of arbitrary dimension. Schoenberg's work has continued to attract significant…

Here we characterize the linear operators that preserve rank of matrices over additively idempotent and multiplicatively cancellative semirings. The main results in this article generalize the corresponding results on the two element…

This paper discusses operators lowering or raising the degree but preserving the parameters of special orthogonal polynomials. Results for one-variable classical (q-)orthogonal polynomials are surveyed. For Jacobi polynomials associated…
