We prove that there is an absolute constant $c > 0$ such that every polynomial $P$ of the form $$P(z) = \sum_{j=0}^{n}{a_jz^j}\,, \quad |a_0| = 1\,, \quad |a_j| \leq M\,, \quad a_j \in \Bbb{C}\,, \quad M \geq 1\,,$$ has at most…

We study the root distribution of a sequence of polynomials $\{P_n(z)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ with the rational generating function $$ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} P_n(z)t^n= \frac{1}{1+ B(z)t^\ell +A(z)t^k}$$ for $(k,\ell)=(3,2)$ and $(4,3)$ where $A(z)$…

We collect and organise known results and add some new ones of the following nature: if A is a bounded operator in a Hilbert or Banach space, does there exist a nonconstant polynomial p(z) such that p(A) is "simpler", "nicer" than A. The…

Let F be a real-valued convex function on the complex plane, and let Ps(b) be a pseudodifferential operator with symbol b. Under certain natural assumptions about properties of pseudodifferential operators, we prove that the sum of F(z)…

Given coprime integers $k, \ell$ with $k > \ell \geqslant 1$ and arbitrary complex polynomials $A(z), B(z)$ with $\deg(A(z)B(z))\geqslant 1$, we consider the polynomial sequence $\{P_n(z)\}$ satisfying a three-term recurrence…

The triangle of sorted binomial coefficients $\left\langle {n \atop k} \right\rangle = \binom{n}{\lfloor \frac{n - k}{2} \rfloor}$ for $0 \leq k \leq n$ has appeared several times in recent combinatorial works but has evaded dedicated…

A polynomial $p\in\mathbb{R}[z_1,\dots,z_n]$ is real stable if it has no roots in the upper-half complex plane. Gurvits's permanent inequality gives a lower bound on the coefficient of the $z_1z_2\dots z_n$ monomial of a real stable…

Let $\mathbb C$ be the set of complex numbers, and let $\mathcal P$ be a collection of complex polynomial maps in several variables. Assuming at least one $P\in\mathcal P$ depends on at least two variables, we classify all possibilities for…

The independence polynomial of a graph $G$ is the generating polynomial corresponding to its independent sets of different sizes. More formally, if $a_k(G)$ denotes the number of independent sets of $G$ of size $k$ then \[I(G,z) \as…

Let $R$ be a finite non-commutative ring with $1\ne 0$. By a polynomial function on $R$, we mean a function $F\colon R\longrightarrow R$ induced by a polynomial $f=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{n}a_ix^i\in R[x]$ via right substitution of the variable…

Let $ P(z) $ be a polynomial of degree $ n $ and for any real or complex number $\alpha,$ let $D_\alpha P(z)=nP(z)+(\alpha-z)P^{\prime}(z)$ denote the polar derivative with respect to $\alpha.$ In this paper, we obtain generalizations of…

Let $\cP_n$ be the complex vector space of all polynomials of degree at most $n$. We give several characterizations of the linear operators $T\in\cL(\cP_n)$ for which there exists a constant $C > 0$ such that for all nonconstant $p\in\cP_n$…

Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zeros in the unit disk. ~Then it is well known that for $R\geq 1,$ $\displaystyle{\max_{|z|=R}|p(z)|}\leq…

For a long time it has been a challenging goal to identify all orthogonal polynomial systems that occur as eigenfunctions of a linear differential equation. One of the widest classes of such eigenfunctions known so far, is given by…

In this paper, we study linear transformations of the form $T[x^n]=P_n(x)$ where $\{P_n(x)\}$ is an orthogonal polynomial system. Of particular interest is understanding when these operators preserve real-rootedness in polynomials. It is…

We generalize some previous results on random polynomials in several complex variables. A standard setting is to consider random polynomials $H_n(z):=\sum_{j=1}^{m_n} a_jp_j(z)$ that are linear combinations of basis polynomials $\{p_j\}$…

This paper discusses operators lowering or raising the degree but preserving the parameters of special orthogonal polynomials. Results for one-variable classical (q-)orthogonal polynomials are surveyed. For Jacobi polynomials associated…

A sequence $\{\delta_n^{(k)}\}$ associated to a Bochner differential operator is introduced as an effective tool to study this kind of operators. Some properties of this sequence are proven and used to deduce that a particular operator…
