We consider polynomials of the form $\operatorname{h}_m(y_1^{[\varkappa_1]},\ldots,y_n^{[\varkappa_n]})$, where $\operatorname{h}_m$ is the complete homogeneous polynomial of degree $m$ and $y_j^{[\varkappa_j]}$ denotes $y_j$ repeated…

Let $(G_n(x))_{n=0}^\infty$ be a $d$-th order linear recurrence sequence having polynomial characteristic roots, one of which has degree strictly greater than the others. Moreover, let $m\geq 2$ be a given integer. We ask for…

For any two $n$-$th$ order polynomials $a(s)$ and $b(s),$ the Hurwitz stability of their convex combination is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a polynomial $c(s)$ such that $c(s)/a(s)$ and $c(s)/b(s)$ are both strictly…

Our interest lies in describing the zero behaviour of Gauss hypergeometric polynomials $F(-n,b; c; z)$ where $b$ and $c$ are arbitrary parameters. In general, this problem has not been solved and even when $b$ and $c$ are both real, the…

We find the constant $b_{\infty}$ ($b_{\infty} \approx 4.81058280$) such that if a complex polynomial or entire function $f(z) = \sum_{k=0}^ \omega a_k z^k, $ $\omega \in \{2, 3, 4, \ldots \} \cup \{\infty\},$ with nonzero coefficients…

In this paper we consider interlacing of the zeros of polynomials from different sequences $\{p_n\}$ and $\{g_n\}$. In our main result we consider a mixed recurrence equation necessary for existence of a linear term $(x-A)$ so that the…

We prove that there is an absolute constant $c > 0$ such that every polynomial $P$ of the form $$P(z) = \sum_{j=0}^{n}{a_jz^j}\,, \quad |a_0| = 1\,, \quad |a_j| \leq M\,, \quad a_j \in \Bbb{C}\,, \quad M \geq 1\,,$$ has at most…

Let $z_1, \dots, z_m$ be $m$ distinct complex numbers, normalized to $|z_k| = 1$, and consider the polynomial $$ p_{m}(z) = \prod_{k=1}^{m}{(z-z_k)}.$$ We define a sequence of polynomials in a greedy fashion, $$ p_{N+1}(z) = p_{N}(z)…

In this paper, we study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear polynomial coefficients. We show that the set of non-isolated limits of zeros of the polynomials is either an arc,…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition in order that a semi-plane of the form $\Re(s)>r$, $r\in \mathbb{R}$, is free of zeros of a given Dirichlet polynomial. The result may be considered a natural generalization of a well-known…

We prove that there is an absolute constant $c > 0$ such that for every $$a_0,a_1, \ldots,a_n \in [1,M]\,, \qquad 1 \leq M \leq \frac 14 \exp \left( \frac n9 \right)\,,$$ there are $$b_0,b_1,\ldots,b_n \in \{-1,0,1\}$$ such that the…

Suppose that $\langle f_n \rangle$ is a sequence of polynomials, $\langle f_n^{(k)}(0)\rangle$ converges for every non-negative integer $k$, and that the limit is not $0$ for some $k$. It is shown that if all the zeros of $f_1, f_2, \dots$…

Let $H_{m}(z)$ be a sequence of polynomials whose generating function $\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}H_{m}(z)t^{m}$ is the reciprocal of a bivariate polynomial $D(t,z)$. We show that in the three cases $D(t,z)=1+B(z)t+A(z)t^{2}$,…

We consider integer recurrences of the form a_n = f(a_{n-1}), where f is a quadratic polynomial with integer coefficients. We show, for four infinite families of f, that the set of primes dividing at least one term of such a sequence must…

Consider $\{p_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, a sequence of polynomials orthogonal with respect to $w(x)>0$ on $(a,b)$, and polynomials $\{g_{n,k}\}_{n=0}^{\infty},k \in \mathbb{N}_0$, orthogonal with respect to $c_k(x)w(x)>0$ on $(a,b)$, where…

Let $S$ be a dense subring of the real numbers. In this paper we prove a polynomial version of Van der Waerden's theorem near zero. In fact, we prove that if $p_1,\ldots,p_m \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ are polynomials such that $p_i(0) = 0$ and…

For the two sixth-order polynomials $a(s)$ and $b(s),$ Hurwitz stability of their convex combination is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a polynomial $c(s)$ such that $c(s)/a(s)$ and $c(s)/b(s)$ are both strictly positive real.…

In this paper, we give results that partially prove a conjecture which was discussed in our previous work (arXiv:1307.4991). More precisely, we prove that as $n\to \infty,$ the zeros of the polynomial$${}_{2}\text{F}_{1}\left[…

A subset $R$ of integers is a set of Bohr recurrence if every rotation on $\mathbb{T}^d$ returns arbitrarily close to zero under some non-zero multiple of $R$. We show that the set $\{k!\, 2^m3^n\colon k,m,n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is a set of…

For a Noetherian local ring (R, m) having a finite residue field of cardinality q, we study the connections between the ideal Z(R) of R[x], which is the set of polynomials that vanish on R, and the ideal Z(m), the polynomials that vanish on…
