We prove an equidistribution result for the zeros of polynomials with integer coefficients and simple zeros. Specifically, we show that the normalized zero measures associated with a sequence of such polynomials, having small height…

We examine the linear convergence rates of variants of the proximal point method for finding zeros of maximal monotone operators. We begin by showing how metric subregularity is sufficient for linear convergence to a zero of a maximal…

It is known that the weight (that is, the number of nonzero coefficients) of a univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero is larger than the multiplicity of any of its nonzero roots. We extend this result to an appropriate…

The main perpose of this paper is to sudy the roots of a familly of polynomials that arise from a linear recurrences associated to Pascal's triangle and their zero attractor, using an analytical methods based on conformal mappings.

Given a function f: [a,b] -> R, if f(a) < 0 and f(b)> 0 and f is continuous, the Intermediate Value Theorem implies that f has a root in [a,b]. Moreover, given a value-oracle for f, an approximate root of f can be computed using the…

A new method of root finding is formulated that uses a numerical iterative process involving three points. A given function y = f(x) whose roots are desired is fitted and approximated by a polynomial function of the form P(x)= a(x-b)^N that…

We give an explicit solution of a q-Riemann Hilbert problem which arises in the theory of orthogonal polynomials, prove that it is unique, and deduce several properties. Our new results include the asymptotic behaviour of zeroes in the…

To determine the dimension of null space of any given linearized polynomial is one of vital problems in finite field theory, with concern to design of modern symmetric cryptosystems. But, the known general theory for this task is much far…

This paper investigates lower bounds on the number of zeros and poles of a general Dirichlet series in a disk of radius $r$ and gives, as a consequence, an affirmative answer to an open problem of Bombieri and Perelli on the bound.…

We show that if $A$ is a finite set of non-negative integers then the number of zeros of the function \[ f_A(\theta) = \sum_{a \in A} \cos(a\theta), \] in $[0,2\pi]$, is at least $(\log \log \log |A|)^{1/2-\varepsilon}$. This gives the…

The purpose of the present paper is to examine the zeros of $R$-Bonacci polynomials and their derivatives. We confirm a conjecture about the zeros of $R$-Bonacci polynomials for some special cases. We also find explicit formulas of the…

The zeros of the size-$n$ partition functions for a statistical mechanical model can be used to help understand the critical behaviour of the model as $n\to\infty$. Here we use weighted Dyck paths as a simple model of two-dimensional…

We study convexity properties of the zeros of some special functions that follow from the convexity theorem of Sturm. We prove results on the intervals of convexity for the zeros of Laguerre, Jacobi and ultraspherical polynomials, as well…

The usual methods for root finding of polynomials are based on the iteration of a numerical formula for improvement of successive estimations. The unpredictable nature of the iterations prevents to search roots inside a pre-specified region…

The real and complex zeros of the parabolic cylinder function $U(a,z)$ are studied. Asymptotic expansions for the zeros are derived, involving the zeros of Airy functions, and these are valid for $a$ positive or negative and large in…

We describe an algorithm to count the number of distinct real zeros of a polynomial (square) system f. The algorithm performs O(n D kappa(f)) iterations where n is the number of polynomials (as well as the dimension of the ambient space), D…

We conjecture that the roots of a degree-n univariate complex polynomial are located in a union of n-1 annuli, each of which is centered at a root of the derivative and whose radii depend on higher derivatives. We prove the conjecture for…

We study the limiting behavior of the zeros of the Euler polynomials. When linearly scaled, they approach a definite curve in the complex plane related to the Szego curve which governs the behavior of the roots of the Taylor polynomials…

The purpose of this note is to revive in $L^p$ spaces the original A. Markov ideas to study monotonicity of zeros of orthogonal polynomials. This allows us to prove and improve in a simple and unified way our previous result [Electron.…
