It is proven that, contrarily to the common belief, the notion of zero is not necessary for having positional representations of numbers. Namely, for any positive integer $k$, a positional representation with the symbols for $1, 2, \ldots,…

Matrix-valued polynomials in any finite number of freely noncommuting variables that enjoy certain canonical partial convexity properties are characterized, via an algebraic certificate, in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities and Bilinear…

The notion of Ehrhart tensor polynomials, a natural generalization of the Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polytope, was recently introduced by Ludwig and Silverstein. We initiate a study of their coefficients. In the vector and matrix…

We study rather general multiple zeta-functions whose denominators are given by polynomials. The main aim is to prove explicit formulas for the values of those multiple zeta-functions at non-positive integer points. We first treat the case…

We compute two parametric determinants in which rows and columns are indexed by compositions, where in one determinant the entries are products of binomial coefficients, while in the other the entries are products of powers. These results…

We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…

Let $K$ be a field of positive characteristic with no algebraically closed subfield. Let $F$ be a function field over $K$ and $t \in F$ transcendental over $K$. Refining a result of Eisentr{\"a}ger and Shlapentokh, we show that there is no…

In this article, we study critical points (zeros of derivative) of random polynomials. Take two deterministic sequences $\{a_n\}_{n\geq1}$ and $\{b_n\}_{n\geq1}$ of complex numbers whose limiting empirical measures are same. By choosing…

Every symmetric polynomial $h(x)$ with center of symmetry $n/2$ can be expressed as a linear combination in the basis $x^i(1+x)^{n-2i}$. The $\gamma$-polynomial of $h(x)$, which we denote $\gamma_h(x)$, records the coefficients of this…

Let $g(x)$ be a fixed non-constant complex polynomial. It was conjectured by Schinzel that if $g(h(x))$ has boundedly many terms, then $h(x)\in \C[x]$ must also have boundedly many terms. Solving an older conjecture raised by R\'enyi and by…

The seminal work by Mackey et al. in 2006 (reference [21] of the article) introduced vector spaces of matrix pencils, with the property that almost all the pencils in the spaces are strong linearizations of a given square regular matrix…

Let $p$ be a real zero polynomial in $n$ variables. Then $p$ defines a rigidly convex set $C(p)$. We construct a linear matrix inequality of size $n+1$ in the same $n$ variables that depends only on the cubic part of $p$ and defines a…

A polynomial representation of a convex d-polytope P is a finite set \{p_1(x),...,p_n(x)\} of polynomials over E^d such that P=\setcond{x \in \E^d}{p_1(x) \ge 0 {for every} 1 \le i \le n}. By s(d,P) we denote the least possible number of…

In this paper we study a particular class of polynomials. We study the distribution of their zeros, including the zeros of their derivatives as well as the interaction between this two. We prove a weak variant of the sendov conjecture in…

We consider a particular type of matrices which belong at the same time to the class of Hessenberg and Toeplitz matrices, and whose determinants are equal to the number of a type of compositions of natural numbers. We prove a formula in…

We consider multivariable polynomials over a fixed number field, linear in some of the variables. For a system of such polynomials satisfying certain technical conditions we prove the existence of search bounds for simultaneous zeros with…

Let $(G_n(x))_{n=0}^\infty$ be a $d$-th order linear recurrence sequence having polynomial characteristic roots, one of which has degree strictly greater than the others. Moreover, let $m\geq 2$ be a given integer. We ask for…

We revisit the landmark paper [D. S. Mackey, N. Mackey, C. Mehl, and V. Mehrmann, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 28 (2006), pp.~971--1004] and, by viewing matrices as coefficients for bivariate polynomials, we provide concise proofs for key…

We extend to several variables an earlier result of ours, according to which an entire function of one variable of sufficiently small exponential type, having all derivatives of even order taking integer values at two points, is a…

We characterize all linear operators on finite or infinite-dimensional spaces of univariate real polynomials preserving the sets of elliptic, positive, and non-negative polynomials, respectively. This is done by means of Fischer-Fock…
