Univariate polynomial root-finding is both classical and 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 polynomial…
A Hurwitz stable polynomial of degree $n\geq1$ has a Hadamard factorization if it is a Hadamard product (i.e. element-wise multiplication) of two Hurwitz stable polynomials of degree $n$. It is known that Hurwitz stable polynomials of…
In this paper, we study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials $W_n(z)$ satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear polynomial coefficients over positive numbers. We discover a sufficient and necessary condition for the…
A polynomial $p\in\mathbb{R}[z_1,\dots,z_n]$ is real stable if it has no roots in the upper-half complex plane. Gurvits's permanent inequality gives a lower bound on the coefficient of the $z_1z_2\dots z_n$ monomial of a real stable…
Cauchy's interlace theorem states that the characteristic polynomial of a symmetric matrix is interlaced by the characteristic polynomial of any principle submatrix. We prove this in two sentences using only the linearity of the…
In a companion paper [On semiclassical orthogonal polynomials via polynomial mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. (2017)] we proved that the semiclassical class of orthogonal polynomials is stable under polynomial transformations. In this work we…
We study Hurwitz spaces with regard to homological stabilization. By a Hurwitz space, we mean a moduli space of branched, not necessarily connected coverings of a disk with fixed structure group and number of branch points. We choose a…
Polynomial solutions to the generalized Lam\'e equation, the \textit{Stieltjes polynomials}, and the associated \textit{Van Vleck polynomials} have been studied since the 1830's, beginning with Lam\'e in his studies of the Laplace equation…
The classical Routh-Hurwitz criterion is one of the most popular methods to study the stability of polynomials with real coefficients, given its simplicity and ductility. However, when moving to polynomials with complex coefficients, a…
We investigate spectral conditions on Hermitian matrices of roots of unity. Our main results are conjecturally sharp upper bounds on the number of residue classes of the characteristic polynomial of such matrices modulo ideals generated by…
We consider components of Hurwitz moduli space of G-Galois covers and set up a powerful algebraic framework to study the set of corresponding equivalence classes of monodromy maps. Within that we study geometric stabilisation by various…
We introduce the class of split regular Hom-Leibniz algebras as the natural generalization of split Leibniz algebras and split regular Hom-Lie algebras. By developing techniques of connections of roots for this kind of algebras, we show…
In this paper, pursuing the same line of ideas in the proof of an old longstanding open conjecture of \emph{Kadison-Singer} , we introduce a key lemma which we call it the interlacing lemma which indicates a necessary condition for having a…
We generalize two main theorems of matching polynomials of undirected simple graphs, namely, real-rootedness and the Heilmann-Lieb root bound. Viewing the matching polynomial of a graph $G$ as the independence polynomial of the line graph…
In this paper, we fix a polynomial with complex coefficients and determine the eigenforms for SL2(Z) which can be expressed as the fixed polynomial evaluated at other eigenforms. In particular, we show that when one excludes trivial cases,…
This paper examines the properties of real symmetric square matrices with a constant value for the main diagonal elements and another constant value for all off-diagonal elements. This matrix form is a simple subclass of circulant matrices,…
We characterize compatible families of real-rooted polynomials, allowing both positive and negative leading coefficients. Our characterization naturally generalizes the same-sign characterization used by Chudnovsky and Seymour in their…
Simple proofs of the Hermite-Biehler and Routh-Hurwitz theorems are presented. The total nonnegativity of the Hurwitz matrix of a stable real polynomial follows as an immediate corollary.
Given a central division algebra $D$ of degree $d$ over a field $F$, we associate to any standard polynomial $\phi(z)=z^n+c_{n-1} z^{n-1}+\dots+c_0$ over $D$ a "companion polynomial" $\Phi(z)$ of degree $n d$ with coefficients in $F$ whose…
We single out a large class of semisimple singularities with the property that all roots of the Poincar\'e polynomial of the Lie algebra of derivations of the corresponding suitably (not necessarily quasihomogeneously) graded moduli algebra…
