We prove the existence of complex polynomials $p(z)$ of degree $n$ and $q(z)$ of degree $m<n$ such that the harmonic polynomial $ p(z) + \overline{q(z)}$ has at least $\lceil n \sqrt{m} \rceil$ many zeros. This provides an array of new…

Investigating a problem posed by W. Hengartner (2000), we study the maximal valence (number of preimages of a prescribed point in the complex plane) of logharmonic polynomials, i.e., complex functions that take the form $f(z) = p(z)…

We give sufficient conditions under which a polyanalytic polynomial of degree $n$ has (i) at least one zero, and (ii) finitely many zeros. In the latter case, we prove that the number of zeros is bounded by $n^2$. We then show that for all…

Let L be the zero set of a nonconstant monic polynomial with complex coefficients. In the context of constructive mathematics without countable choice, it may not be possible to construct an element of L. In this paper we introduce a notion…

Motivated by Wilmshurst's conjecture, we investigate the zeros of harmonic polynomials. We utilize a certified counting approach which is a combination of two methods from numerical algebraic geometry: numerical polynomial homotopy…

We study multivariate polynomials over `structured' grids. We begin by proposing an interpretation as to what it means for a finite subset of a field to be structured; we do so by means of a numerical parameter, the nullity. We then extend…

We introduce different notions of polynomial convexity with bounds on degrees of polynomials in $\mathbb C^n$. We provide some examples in higher dimensions and show necessary and sufficient conditions for polynomial convexity with degree…

We study a graded vector space of polynomials associated to a square matrix, defined by a finite difference condition along the rows. We show this space coincides with one defined by directional derivatives, and prove it is…

We obtain upper bounds, independent of the ambient dimension, for the number of realizable zero-nonzero patterns and (over ordered fields) sign conditions of a finite family of polynomials $\mathcal P$ restricted to an algebraic subset $V$…

We study the irreducibility of Wronskian Hermite polynomials labelled by partitions. It is known that these polynomials factor as a power of x times a remainder polynomial. We show that the remainder polynomial is irreducible for the…

A theorem is proved concerning approximation of analytic functions by multivariate polynomials in the $s$-dimensional hypercube. The geometric convergence rate is determined not by the usual notion of degree of a multivariate polynomial,…

In this paper, we give results that partially prove a conjecture which was discussed in our previous work (arXiv:1307.4991). More precisely, we prove that as $n\to \infty,$ the zeros of the polynomial$${}_{2}\text{F}_{1}\left[…

We give an elementary introduction to some recent polyhedral techniques for understanding and solving systems of multivariate polynomial equations. We provide numerous concrete examples and illustrations, and assume no background in…

The zero sets of harmonic polynomials play a crucial role in the study of the free boundary regularity problem for harmonic measure. In order to understand the fine structure of these free boundaries a detailed study of the singular points…

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…

We discuss existence of explicit search bounds for zeros of polynomials with coefficients in a number field. Our main result is a theorem about the existence of polynomial zeros of small height over the field of algebraic numbers outside of…

Counterparts of several classical results of number theory are proven for the ring of polynomials with coefficients in a number field. A theorem of Milnor that determines the Witt ring of a function field is applied to prove an analogue of…

We obtain quantitative estimates of local flatness of zero sets of harmonic polynomials. There are two alternatives: at every point either the zero set stays uniformly far away from a hyperplane in the Hausdorff distance at all scales or…

It is well known that, in the plane, the boundary of any quadrature domain (in the classical sense) coincides with the zero set of a polynomial. We show, by explicitly constructing some four-dimensional examples, that this is not always the…

Finding an approximate region containing all the zeros of analytic polynomials is a well-studied problem. But the numb er of the zeros and regions containing all the zeros of complex-valued harmonic polynomials is relatively a fresh…
