We consider the problem of complex root classification, i.e., finding the conditions on the coefficients of a univariate polynomial for all possible multiplicity structures on its complex roots. It is well known that such conditions can be…
A univariate polynomial f over a field is decomposable if it is the composition f = g(h) of two polynomials g and h whose degree is at least 2. We determine the dimension (over an algebraically closed field) of the set of decomposables, and…
For the family $P:=x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+\cdots +a_n$ of complex polynomials in the variable $x$ we study its {\em discriminant} $R:=$Res$(P,P',x)$, $R\in \mathbb{C}[a]$, $a=(a_1,\ldots ,a_n)$. When $R$ is regarded as a polynomial in $a_k$, one…

Cubic and quartic non-autonomous differential equations with continuous piecewise linear coefficients are considered. The main concern is to find the maximum possible multiplicity of periodic solutions. For many classes, we show that the…

We propose a method for constructing systems of polynomial equations that define submanifolds of degenerate binary forms of an arbitrary degeneracy degree. It is appropriate to call these systems of equations "higher discriminants".
