Let xi be a real number which is neither rational nor quadratic over Q. Based on work of Davenport and Schmidt, Bugeaud and Laurent have shown that, for any real number theta, there exist a constant c>0 and infinitely many non-zero…

It is known for linear operators with polynomial coefficients annihilating a given D-finite function that there is a trade-off between order and degree. Raising the order may give room for lowering the degree. The relationship between order…

We consider algebraic ordinary differential equations (AODEs) and study their polynomial and rational solutions. A sufficient condition for an AODE to have a degree bound for its polynomial solutions is presented. An AODE satisfying this…

Rakhmanov's theorem for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle gives a sufficient condition on the orthogonality measure for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, in order that the reflection coefficients (the recurrence…

We prove Odoni's conjecture in all prime degrees; namely, we prove that for every positive prime $p$, there exists a degree $p$ polynomial $\varphi\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with surjective arboreal Galois representation. We also show that Vojta's…

This work studies optimal polynomial approximants (OPAs) in the classical Hardy spaces on the unit disk, $H^p$ ($1 < p < \infty$). In particular, we uncover some estimates concerning the OPAs of degree zero and one. It is also shown that if…

Let $D_\alpha P(z)=nP(z)+(\alpha-z)P^{\prime}(z)$ denote the polar derivative of a polynomial $P(z)$ of degree $n$ with respect to a point $\alpha\in\mathbb{C}.$ In this paper, we present a correct proof, independent of Laguerre's theorem,…

The goal of this work is to characterize all second order difference operators of several variables that have discrete orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions. Under some mild assumptions, we give a complete solution of the problem.

The first part of this paper complements previous results on characterization of polynomials of least deviation from zero in Sobolev $p$-norm ($1<p<\infty$) for the case $p=1$. Some relevant examples are indicated. The second part deals…

We prove a sharp upper bound on convex domains, in terms of the diameter alone, of the best constant in a class of weighted Poincar\'e inequalities. The key point is the study of an optimal weighted Wirtinger inequality.

We prove that for any $n\times n$ matrix, $A$, and $z$ with $|z|\geq \|A\|$, we have that $\|(z-A)^{-1}\|\leq\cot (\frac{\pi}{4n}) \dist (z, \spec(A))^{-1}$. We apply this result to the study of random orthogonal polynomials on the unit…

In the smallest cases where there exist nonnegative polynomials that are not sums of squares we present a complete explanation of this distinction. The fundamental reason that the cone of sums of squares is strictly contained in the cone of…

We use Turan type inequalities to give new non-asymptotic bounds on the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials in terms of the coefficients of their three term recurrence. Most of our results deal with symmetric polynomials satisfying the…

Over the past several years, optimal polynomial approximants (OPAs) have been studied in many different function spaces. In these settings, numerous papers have been devoted to studying the properties of their zeros. In this paper, we…

In this paper we improve a result recently proved by Irshad et al. [On the Inequalities Concerning to the Polar Derivative of a Polynomial with Restricted Zeroes, Thai Journal of Mathematics, 2014 (Article in Press)] and also extend…

We shall give bounds on the spacing of zeros of certain functions belonging to the Laguerre-Polya class and satisfying a second order differential equation. As a corollary we establish new sharp inequalities on the extreme zeros of the…

We present an elementary proof of a conjecture by I. Ra\c{s}a which is an inequality involving Bernstein basis polynomials and convex functions. It was affirmed in positive very recently by the use of stochastic convex orderings. Moreover,…

We provide a way to modify and to extend a previously established inequality by P. Erd\H{o}s, R. Graham and others and to answer a conjecture posed in the nineties by R. Graham, which bears on the lack of divisibility of the central…

We consider multilinear Littlewood polynomials, polynomials in $n$ variables in which a specified set of monomials $U$ have $\pm 1$ coefficients, and all other coefficients are $0$. We provide upper and lower bounds (which are close for $U$…

At the heart of convex geometry lies the observation that the volume of convex bodies behaves as a polynomial. Many geometric inequalities may be expressed in terms of the coefficients of this polynomial, called mixed volumes. Among the…
