We define a function of two real vectors by a certain homogeneous quotient involving power sums, and show that its supremum grows asymptotically linearly w.r.t. the dimension. From this, we deduce a condition under which a parametric set of…

We study partitions of complex numbers as sums of non-negative powers of a fixed algebraic number $\beta$. We prove that if $\beta$ is real quadratic, then the number of partitions is always finite if and only if some conjugate of $\beta$…

Roots of graph polynomials such as the characteristic polynomial, the chromatic polynomial, the matching polynomial, and many others are widely studied. In this paper we examine to what extent the location of these roots reflects the graph…

Two doubly indexed families of polynomials in several indeterminates are considered. They are related to the falling and rising factorials in a similar way as the potential polynomials (introduced by L. Comtet) are related to the ordinary…

Let $r$ be a prime power and $q=r^m$. For $0\le i\le m-1$, let $f_i\in \mathbb{F}_r[x]$ be $q$-linearized and $a_i\in \mathbb{F}_q$. Assume that $z\in \mathbb{\bar{F}}_r$ satisfies the equation $\sum_{i=0}^{m-1}a_if_i(z)^{r^i}=0$, where…

We obtain a measure theoretical characterization of polynomials among rational functions on $\mathbb{P}^1$, which generalizes a theorem of Lopes. Our proof applies both classical and dynamically weighted potential theory.

Given $k \ge 2$ polynomials in $d \ge 1$ variables with coefficients in a field of characteristic $0$, such that no two are linearly dependent, we show that for any integer $r$ greater than $\max\left\{k {k-1 \choose 2}, 2\right\}$, the…

We give two determinantal representations for a bivariate polynomial. They may be used to compute the zeros of a system of two of these polynomials via the eigenvalues of a two-parameter eigenvalue problem. The first determinantal…

Recently Dritschel proves that any positive multivariate Laurent polynomial can be factorized into a sum of square magnitudes of polynomials. We first give another proof of the Dritschel theorem. Our proof is based on the univariate matrix…

We show that the sequence of moduli of the eigenvalues of a matrix polynomial is log-majorized, up to universal constants, by a sequence of "tropical roots" depending only on the norms of the matrix coefficients. These tropical roots are…
