Suppose X is the complex zero set of a finite collection of polynomials in Z[x_1,...,x_n]. We show that deciding whether X contains a point all of whose coordinates are d_th roots of unity can be done within NP^NP (relative to the sparse…

We consider three realization problems about monic real univariate polynomials without vanishing coefficients. Such a polynomial $P:=\sum_{j=0}^db_jx^j$ defines the sign pattern $\sigma (P):=({\rm sgn}(b_d)$, $\ldots$, ${\rm sgn}(b_0))$.…

Some polynomials $P$ with rational coefficients give rise to well defined maps between cyclic groups, $\Z_q\longrightarrow\Z_r$, $x+q\Z\longmapsto P(x)+r\Z$. More generally, there are polynomials in several variables with tuples of rational…

We study the repartition of the roots of a random p-adic polynomial in an algebraic closure of Qp.We prove that the mean number of roots generating a fixed finite extension K of Qp depends mostly on the discriminant of K, an extension…

Suppose $A=\{a_1,\ldots,a_{n+2}\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^n$ has cardinality $n+2$, with all the coordinates of the $a_j$ having absolute value at most $d$, and the $a_j$ do not all lie in the same affine hyperplane. Suppose $F=(f_1,\ldots,f_n)$…

The real type of a finite family of univariate polynomials characterizes the combined sign behavior of the polynomials over the real line. We derive an explicit formula for the number of real types subject to given degree bounds. For the…

In this paper, we study the number of real roots of random trigonometric polynomials with iid coefficients. When the coefficients have zero mean, unit variance and some finite high moments, we show that the variance of the number of real…

We implement an iterative numerical method to solve polynomial equations $f(x)=0$ in the $p$-adic numbers, where $f(x) \in\mathbb{Z}_p[x]$. This method is a simplified $p$-adic analogue of Jarratt's method for finding roots of functions…

This paper investigates the number of monic integer polynomials of degree $n$ whose roots are all real and positive. We establish an asymptotic formula for the case of fixed trace by estimating the number of integer sequences satisfying…

Theorem. An irreducible cubic polynomial with rational coefficients has a root in a one step radical extension of Q if and only if the discriminate is a square of a rational number. Theorem. An irreducible polynomial x^4+px^2+qx+s with…

Call a monic integer polynomial exceptional if it has a root modulo all but a finite number of primes, but does not have an integer root. We classify all irreducible monic integer polynomials $h$ for which there is an irreducible monic…

With every real polynomial $f$, we associate a family $\{f_{\epsilon r}\}_{\epsilon, r}$ of real polynomials, in explicit form in terms of $f$ and the parameters $\epsilon>0,r\in N$, and such that $\Vert f-f_{\epsilon r}\Vert_1\to 0$ as…

I considered definition and properties of polynomial in no-commutative algebra. There exists polynomial which has finite, infinite or empty set of roots. For instance, the polynomial $$p_1(x)=ix-xi-1$$ have no root and the polynomial…

A linear operator on a finite dimensional nonzero real vector space may not have an eigenvalue. We define a related notion of a true-pair of a linear operator, and then show that each linear operator on a finite dimensional nonzero real…

Given any polynomial with real coefficients, the existence of a real quadratic polynomial factor is proven using only basic real analysis. The aim is to provide an approachable proof to anybody who is familiar with the least upper bound…

Let $f$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients such that $f(n)$ positive for any positive integer $n$. We consider diverging sequences $\{ y_n\}$ given by $y_0 = b$ and $y_{n+1} = f^{y_n}(a)$ with positive integers $a$ and $b$. We show…

We show that smooth curves of monic complex polynomials $P_a (Z)=Z^n+\sum_{j=1}^n a_j Z^{n-j}$, $a_j : I \to \mathbb C$ with $I \subset \mathbb R$ a compact interval, have absolutely continuous roots in a uniform way. More precisely, there…

We extend the algorithms of Robinson, Smyth, and McKee--Smyth to enumerate all real-rooted integer polynomials of a fixed degree, where the first few (at least three) leading coefficients are specified. Additionally, we introduce new linear…
