Polynomials with all the coefficients in $\{ 0,1\}$ and constant term 1 are called Newman polynomials, whereas polynomials with all the coefficients in $\{ -1,1\}$ are called Littlewood polynomials. By exploiting an algorithm developed…

We evaluate the number of monic polynomials (of arbitrary degree $N$) the zeros of which equal their coefficients when these are allowed to take arbitrary complex values. In the following, we call polynomials with this property {\em…

We prove a complex polynomial of degree $n$ has at most $\lceil n/2 \rceil$ attractive fixed points lying on a line. We also consider the general case.

We prove a sharp degree bound for polynomials constant on a hyperplane with a fixed number of nonnegative distinct monomials. This bound was conjectured by John P. D'Angelo, proved in two dimensions by D'Angelo, Kos and Riehl and in three…

We describe a database of 1779 continued fractions with polynomial coefficients, of which more than 1500 are new, both for interesting constants and for transcendental functions, and provide the database inside the \TeX\ source of the…

We prove a sharp degree bound for polynomials constant on a hyperplane with a fixed number of distinct monomials for dimensions 2 and 3. We study the connection with monomial CR maps of hyperquadrics and prove similar bounds in this setup…

In this paper, we give error bounds on the number of monic irreducible polynomials $a_0+a_1x+\dots+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+x^n$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of degree $n$ with $(a_0, a_1, \dots, a_{n-1}, 1)$ lying in a fixed affine algebraic…

The study of proper rational mappings between balls in complex Euclidean spaces naturally leads to the relationship between the degree and imbedding dimension of such a mapping. The special case for monomial mappings is equivalent to the…

Let $P_1, \ldots, P_m \in K[y]$ be polynomials with distinct degrees, no constant terms and coefficients in a general locally compact topological field $K$. We give a quantitative count of the number of polynomial progressions $x, x+P_1(y),…

We examine the maximal number of zeros a polynomial of degree at most n with constrained coefficients may have at 1. Our results are essentially sharp and extend earlier results of this variety. An interesting connection to certain…

In this paper we give for any integer l > 2 a numerical criterion ensuring the existence of a chain of length l of lines through two general points of an irreducible variety X in P^N, involving the degrees and the number of homogeneous…

We contribute to the exceptional APN conjecture by showing that no polynomial of degree m = 2 r (2 {\ell} + 1) where gcd(r, {\ell}) 2, r 2, {\ell} 1 with a nonzero second leading coefficient can be APN over infinitely many extensions of the…

We survey various classical results on invariants of polynomials, or equivalently, of binary forms, focussing on explicit calculations for invariants of polynomials of degrees 2, 3, 4.

Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $m$, with nonnegative and non-decreasing coefficients. We settle the conjecture that for any positive real number $d$, the coefficients of $P(x+d)$ form a unimodal sequence, of which the special case $d$…

Classes of polynomial differential equations of degree n are considered. An explicit upper bound on the size of the coefficients are given which implies that each equation in the class has exactly n complex periodic solutions. In most of…

We extend the state models for Jones and Alexander polynomials of classical links to state models of 2-variable polynomials in the case of singular links. Moreover, we extend both of them to polynomials with d+1 variables for long singular…

We study an infinite class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. This generalizes a sequence of sparse polynomials which arises in a natural way as graph theoretic…
