Connection of flat polynomials with some spectral questions in ergodic theory is discussed. A necessary condition for a sequence of polynomials of the type $\frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} \big(1 +\sum_{j=1}^{N-1} z^{n_j}\big)$ to be flat in almost…

We provide explicit conditions for a real polynomial $f$ of degree 2d to be a sum of squares (s.o.s.), stated only in terms of the coefficients of $f$, i.e. with no lifting. All conditions are simple and provide an explicit description of a…

In this article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…

Let $f \in \mathbb{R}[x]$ be a polynomial with real coefficients. We say that $f$ is eventually non-negative if $f^m$ has non-negative coefficients for all sufficiently large $m \in \mathbb{N}$. In this short note, we give a classification…

The question of how to certify the non-negativity of a polynomial function lies at the heart of Real Algebra and it also has important applications to Optimization. In the setting of symmetric polynomials Timofte provided a useful way of…

We consider polynomials on the intersection of the closed positive orthant with the height-$1$ level hypersurface of certain polynomials with positive coefficients. We show that any polynomial strictly positive on such a semi-algebraic set…

We discuss the existence of zero coefficients in the powers of the determinant polynomial of order $n$. D. G. Glynn proved that the coefficients of the $m$th power of the determinant polynomial are all nonzero, if $m = p-1$ with a prime…

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…

We apply Ohi's criterion for faithfully flatness of extensions of commutative rings to prove that any \'etale extension $k[Y_1, \ldots, Y_n]\subseteq k[X_1, \ldots, X_n]$ of polynomial rings (each in $n$ indeterminates) over a commutative…

We exhibit a class of Littlewood polynomials that are not $L^\alpha$-flat for any $\alpha \geq 0$. Indeed, it is shown that the sequence of Littlewood polynomials is not $L^\alpha$-flat, $\alpha \geq 0$, when the frequency of $-1$ is not in…

We show that Thom polynomials of Lagrangian singularities have nonnegative coefficients in the basis consisting of Q-functions. The main tool in the proof is nonnegativity of cone classes for globally generated bundles.

In this paper, we mainly dicuss the non-negativity conditions for quartic homogeneous polynomials with 3 variables, which is the analytic conditions of copositivity of a class of 4th order 3-dimensional symmetric tensors. For a 4th order…

We show that if a real trigonometric polynomial has few real roots, then the trigonometric polynomial obtained by writing the coefficients in reverse order must have many real roots. This is used to show that a class of random trigonometric…
