Let $f$ be a polynomial of degree $d>6$, with integer coefficients. Then the paucity of non-trivial positive integer solutions to the equation $f(a)+f(b)=f(c)+f(d)$ is established. The corresponding situation for equal sums of three like…

We derive raising and lowering operators for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and find second order differential and $q$-difference equations for these polynomials. A general functional equation is found which allows one to relate…

In the present paper we consider $F_k(x)=x^{k}-\sum_{t=0}^{k-1}x^t,$ the characteristic polynomial of the $k$-th order Fibonacci sequence, the latter denoted $G(k,l).$ We determine the limits of the real roots of certain odd and even degree…

We study the sequence of monic polynomials $\{S_n\}_{n\geqslant 0}$, orthogonal with respect to the Jacobi-Sobolev inner {product} \;$$ \langle f,g\rangle_{\mathsf{s}}= \int_{-1}^{1} f(x) g(x)\,…

We prove that all zeros of the polynomials orthogonal with respect to a measure $d \mu(x;a) = d \mu(x) + M \delta(x-a)$, where $d\mu$ is a nonatomic positive Borel measure and $M>0$, are increasing functions of the mass point $a$. Thus we…

We investigate completed interlacing of zeros for pairs of polynomial sequences that fail to interlace by exactly two points. Using a general mixed recurrence relation, we identify a quadratic polynomial whose zeros serve as the two extra…
