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…

Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…

We investigate algebraic and arithmetic properties of a class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. In addition to divisibility and irreducibility results we also consider…

In this paper we investigate the uniform distribution properties of polynomials in many variables and bounded degree over a fixed finite field F of prime order. Our main result is that a polynomial P : F^n -> F is poorly-distributed only if…

We give a lower bound for the degree of an irreducible factor of a given polynomial. This improves and generalizes the results obtained in [4, On the irreducible factors of a polynomial, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 148 (2020] 1429 -- 1437].

For a polynomial $f$ from a class $\mathcal{C}$ of polynomials, we show that the problem to compute all the constant degree irreducible factors of $f$ reduces in polynomial time to polynomial identity tests (PIT) for class $\mathcal{C}$ and…

Given a positive integer $r$ and a prime power $q$, we estimate the probability that the characteristic polynomial $f_{A}(t)$ of a random matrix $A$ in $\mathrm{GL}_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ is square-free with $r$ (monic) irreducible factors…

We show that a monic univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero, with $k$ distinct non-zero known roots, is determined by its $k$ proper leading coefficients by providing an explicit algorithm for computing the multiplicities…

We investigate rank revealing factorizations of $m \times n$ polynomial matrices $P(\lambda)$ into products of three, $P(\lambda) = L(\lambda) E(\lambda) R(\lambda)$, or two, $P(\lambda) = L(\lambda) R(\lambda)$, polynomial matrices. Among…

In this paper, we give sharp upper and lower bounds for the number of degenerate monic (and arbitrary, not necessarily monic) polynomials with integer coefficients of fixed degree $n \ge 2$ and height bounded by $H \ge 2$. The polynomial is…

We study the roots of a random polynomial over the field of p-adic numbers. For a random monic polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}_p$, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the factorial moments of the number of roots of this…

The notion of root polynomials of a polynomial matrix $P(\lambda)$ was thoroughly studied in [F. Dopico and V. Noferini, Root polynomials and their role in the theory of matrix polynomials, Linear Algebra Appl. 584:37--78, 2020]. In this…
