In this paper we discuss some remarkable properties of the autonomous system of 2 first-order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), which equates the derivatives $\dot{x}_n(t)$ ($n = 1, 2$) of the 2 dependent variables $x_n(t)$ to the…

Let $p_n(x)$ be orthogonal polynomials associated to a measure $d\mu$ of compact support in $R$. If $E\not\in supp(d\mu)$, we show there is a $\delta>0$ so that for all $n$, either $p_n$ or $p_{n+1}$ has no zeros in $(E-\delta, E+\delta)$.…

For a commutative ring $R$, a polynomial $f\in R[x]$ is called separable if $R[x]/f$ is a separable $R$-algebra. We derive formulae for the number of separable polynomials when $R = \mathbb{Z}/n$, extending a result of L. Carlitz. For…

We consider the differential equations y''=\lambda_0(x)y'+s_0(x)y, where \lambda_0(x), s_0(x) are C^{\infty}-functions. We prove (i) if the differential equation, has a polynomial solution of degree n >0, then \delta_n=\lambda_n…
