Addressing a problem posed by W. Li and A. Wei (2009), we investigate the average number of (complex) zeros of a random harmonic polynomial $p(z) + \overline{q(z)}$ sampled from the Kac ensemble, i.e., where the coefficients are independent…
Zeros of many ensembles of polynomials with random coefficients are asymptotically equidistributed near the unit circumference. We give quantitative estimates for such equidistribution in terms of the expected discrepancy and expected…
We study the simultaneous zeros of a random family of $d$ polynomials in $d$ variables over the $p$-adic numbers. For a family of natural models, we obtain an explicit constant for the expected number of zeros that lie in the $d$-fold…
We consider random polynomials $p_n(x)=\xi_0+\xi_1+\dots+\xi_n x^n$ whose coefficients are independent and identically distributed with zero mean, unit variance, and bounded $(2+\epsilon)^{th}$ moment (for some $\epsilon>0$), also known as…
A probabilistic approach to the study of the number of zeros of complex harmonic polynomials was initiated by W. Li and A. Wei (2009), who derived a Kac-Rice type formula for the expected number of zeros of random harmonic polynomials with…
Let $P_n(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \xi_k x^k$ be a Kac random polynomial, where the coefficients $\xi_k$ are i.i.d.\ copies of a given random variable $\xi$. Based on numerical experiments, it has been conjectured that if $\xi$ has mean zero,…
We show that if a real trigonometric polynomial has few real roots, then the trigonometric polynomial obtained by writing the coefficients in reverse order must have many real roots. This is used to show that a class of random trigonometric…
We study the probability distribution of the number of common zeros of a system of $m$ random $n$-variate polynomials over a finite commutative ring $R$. We compute the expected number of common zeros of a system of polynomials over $R$.…

We consider random trigonometric polynomials of the form \[ f_n(t):=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} \sum_{k=1}^{n}a_k \cos(k t)+b_k \sin(k t), \] where $(a_k)_{k\geq 1}$ and $(b_k)_{k\geq 1}$ are two independent stationary Gaussian processes with the…
The large degree asymptotics of the expected number of real zeros of a random trigonometric polynomial $$ T_n(x) = \sum_ {j=0} ^{n} a_j \cos (j x) + b_j \sin (j x), \ x \in (0,2\pi), $$ with i.i.d. real-valued standard Gaussian coefficients…
The study of random polynomials has a long and rich history. This paper studies random algebraic polynomials $P_n(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + \ldots + a_{n-1} x^{n-1}$ where the coefficients $(a_k)$ are correlated random variables taken as the…
