In this paper, we study the asymptotics of the discrete Chebyshev polynomials tn (z, N) as the degree grows to infinity. Global asymptotic formulas are obtained as n \rightarrow \infty, when the ratio of the parameters n/N = c is a constant…

We investigate an infinite sequence of polynomials of the form: \[a_0T_{n}(x)+a_{1}T_{n-1}(x)+\cdots+a_{m}T_{n-m}(x)\] where $(a_0,a_1,\ldots,a_m)$ is a fixed m-tuple of real numbers, $a_0,a_m\ne0$, $T_i(x)$ are Chebyshev polynomials of the…

For an integer $a$ consider the sequence $(T_{n}(a)-1)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ defined by the Chebyshev polynomials $T_{n}$. We list all pairs $(n,a)$ for which the term $T_{n}(a)-1$ has no primitive prime divisor.

Given $n$ polynomials $p_1, \dots, p_n$ of degree at most $n$ with $\|p_i\|_\infty \le 1$ for $i \in [n]$, we show there exist signs $x_1, \dots, x_n \in \{-1,1\}$ so that \[\Big\|\sum_{i=1}^n x_i p_i\Big\|_\infty < 30\sqrt{n}, \] where…

A class P_{n,m,p}(x) of polynomials is defined. The combinatorial meaning of its coefficients is given. Chebyshev polynomials are the special cases of P_{n,m,p}(x). It is first shown that P_{n,m,p}(x) may be expressed in terms of…

We study the periods of Markov sequences, which are derived from the continued fraction expression of elements in the Markov spectrum. This spectrum is the set of minimal values of indefinite binary quadratic forms that are specially…

Brannan showed that a normalized univalent polynomial of the form $P(z)=z+a_2 z^2+\ldots + a_{n-1}z^{n-1}+\frac{z^n}{n}$ is starlike if and only if $a_2=\ldots=a_{n-1}=0$. We give a new and simple proof of his result, showing further that…

This paper considers the approximation of a monomial $x^n$ over the interval $[-1,1]$ by a lower-degree polynomial. This polynomial approximation can be easily computed analytically and is obtained by truncating the analytical Chebyshev…

For every non-integral $\alpha>1$, the sequence of the integer parts of $n^{\alpha}$ $(n=1,2,\ldots)$ is called the Piatetski-Shapiro sequence with exponent $\alpha$, and let $\mathrm{PS}(\alpha)$ denote the set of all those terms. For all…

The distribution of a given sequence in the set of all sequences with n ones and m = M - n zeros are found by relating the problem to the partitions of a natural number in m natural summands, taking into account the order. The formulas…

The generalized complex numbers can be realized in terms of $2\times2$ or higher-order matrices and can be exploited to get different ways of looking at the trigonometric functions. Since Chebyshev polynomials are linked to the power of…

Square roots $s$ of sums of $M$ consecutive integer squares starting from $a^{2}\geq1$ are integers if $M\equiv0,9,24$ or $33(mod\,72)$; or $M\equiv1,2$ or $16(mod\,24)$; or $M\equiv11(mod\,12)$ and cannot be integers if $M\equiv3,5,6,7,8$…
