If the coefficients of polynomials are selected by some random process, the zeros of the resulting polynomials are in some sense random. In this paper the author rephrases the above in more precise language, and calculates the joint…

We consider properties of polynomials with coefficients in division rings. A theorem on the decomposition of a polynomial with coefficients in an arbitrary division ring is obtained. It is shown that if a non-central element is not a root…

It is known that the weight (that is, the number of nonzero coefficients) of a univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero is larger than the multiplicity of any of its nonzero roots. We extend this result to an appropriate…

Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…

We prove the classical result, which goes back at least to Fourier, that a polynomial with real coefficients has all zeros real and distinct if and only if the polynomial and also all of its nonconstant derivatives have only negative minima…

This article provides a simple trigonometric method for determining how many roots of a quartic equation are real and how many are complex, without solving the equation. The approach replaces the quartic's classical discriminant -- a…

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 geometric characterizations of unbounded integer polynomial optimization problems. While unboundedness along a ray fully characterizes unbounded integer linear and quadratic optimization problems, we show that this is not the case…

We give an algorithm for computing all roots of polynomials over a univariate power series ring over an exact field $\mathbb{K}$. More precisely, given a precision $d$, and a polynomial $Q$ whose coefficients are power series in $x$, the…

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 article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…

We discuss several conjectures about the real-rootedness of polynomials whose coefficients are determinants of coefficients of a real-rooted polynomial. We also consider some questions about matrices generalizing totally positive matrices,…

We classify the polynomials with integral coefficients that, when evaluated on a group element of finite order $n$, define a unit in the integral group ring for infinitely many positive integers $n$. We show that this happens if and only if…

Evaluating or finding the roots of a polynomial $f(z) = f_0 + \cdots + f_d z^d$ with floating-point number coefficients is a ubiquitous problem. By using a piecewise approximation of $f$ obtained with a careful use of the Newton polygon of…
