We give a characterization of common zeros of a sequence of univariate polynomials $W_n(z)$ defined by a recurrence of order two with polynomial coefficients, and with $W_0(z)=1$. Real common zeros for such polynomials with real…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. In this paper, we construct $2(2p-3)$ classes of codes over the ring $R=\Bbb F_p+u\Bbb F_p,u^2=0$, which are associated with down sets. We compute the Lee weight distributions of the $2(2p-3)$ classes of…

The idea of (combinatorial) Gray codes is to list objects in question in such a way that two successive objects differ in some pre-specified small way. In this paper, we utilize beta-description trees to cyclicly Gray code three classes of…
We prove a criterion on the possible locations of zeros of type I and type II multiple orthogonal polynomials in terms of normality of degree $1$ Christoffel transforms. We provide another criterion in terms of degree $2$ Christoffel…
The Jordan algebra of the symmetric matrices of order two over a field $K$ has two natural gradings by $\mathbb{Z}_2$, the cyclic group of order 2. We describe the graded polynomial identities for these two gradings when the base field is…
We study several related problems on polynomials with integer coefficients. This includes the integer Chebyshev problem, and the Schur problems on means of algebraic numbers. We also discuss interesting applications to approximation by…
Zeros of many ensembles of polynomials with random coefficients are asymptotically equidistributed near the unit circumference. We give quantitative estimates for such equidistribution in terms of the expected discrepancy and expected…
We show that the dilogarithm has at most one zero on each branch, that each zero is close to a root of unity, and that they may be found to any precision with Newton's method. This work is motivated by applications to the asymptotics of…
We introduce the concept of piecewise interlacing zeros for studying the relation of root distribution of two polynomials. The concept is pregnant with an idea of confirming the real-rootedness of polynomials in a sequence. Roughly…
In this sequel to Part-I, we present a different approach to bounding the expected number of real zeroes of random polynomials with real independent identically distributed coefficients or more generally, exchangeable coefficients. We show…
In this paper we prove some results on the possible multiplicative orders of $\alpha + \alpha^{-1}$ when $\alpha$ is a non-zero element of a finite field of characteristic 2. The results of the paper rely on a previous investigation on the…
We construct a family of two-Lee-weight codes over the ring $R_k,$ which is defined as trace codes with algebraic structure of abelian codes. The Lee weight distribution of the two-weight codes is given. Taking the Gray map, we obtain…
