Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n$. Rivlin \cite{Rivlin} proved that if $p(z)\neq 0$ in the unit disk, then for $0<r\leq 1$, $\displaystyle{\max_{|z| = r}|p(z)|} \geq \Big(\dfrac{r+1}{2}\Big)^n…

Let $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ be two real polynomials whose leading coefficients have the same sign. Suppose that $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ have only real zeros and that $g$ interlaces $f$ or $g$ alternates left of $f$. We show that if $ad\ge bc$ then the…

Every polynomial $P(X)\in \mathbb Z[X]$ satisfies the congruences $P(n+m)\equiv P(n) \mod m$ for all integers $n, m\ge 0$. An integer valued sequence $(a_n)_{n\ge 0}$ is called a pseudo-polynomial when it satisfies these congruences. Hall…

For every bivariate polynomial $p(z_1, z_2)$ of bidegree $(n_1, n_2)$, with $p(0,0)=1$, which has no zeros in the open unit bidisk, we construct a determinantal representation of the form $$p(z_1,z_2)=\det (I - K Z),$$ where $Z$ is an…

This paper proves that if points $Z_1,Z_2,...$ are chosen independently and identically using some measure $\mu$ from the unit circle in the complex plane, with $p_n(z) = (z-Z_1)(z-Z_2)...(z-Z_n)$, then the empirical distribution of the…

A Lee-Yang polynomial $ p(z_{1},\ldots,z_{n}) $ is a polynomial that has no zeros in the polydisc $ \mathbb{D}^{n} $ and its inverse $ (\mathbb{C}\setminus\overline{\mathbb{D}})^{n} $. We show that any real-rooted exponential polynomial of…

Supposing that $A(z)$ is an exponential polynomial of the form $$ A(z)=H_0(z)+H_1(z)e^{\zeta_1z^n}+\cdots +H_m(z)e^{\zeta_mz^n}, $$ where $H_j$'s are entire and of order $<n$, it is demonstrated that the function $H_0(z)$ and the geometric…

In this paper we study class $\mathcal{S}^+$ of univalent functions $f$ such that $\frac{z}{f(z)}$ has real and positive coefficients. For such functions we give estimates of the Fekete-Szeg\H{o} functional and sharp estimates of their…

Generalizing the Zalcman conjecture given by $\vert a_n^2 - a_{2n-1}\vert \leq (n-1)^2$, Ma proposed and proved that the inequality $$\vert a_n a_m-a_{n+m-1}\vert \leq (n-1)(m-1), \quad m,n \in \mathbb{N},$$ holds for functions…

Results of somewhat mysterious nature are known on the location of zeros of certain polynomials associated with statistical mechanics (Lee-Yang circle theorem) and also with graph counting. In an attempt at clarifying the situation we…

We show that all the zeros of the quadrinomial $p(z)=1+\kappa(z+z^{N-1})+z^N$ lie on the unit circle if and only if the inequalities \[ -1\le\kappa\le 1\; (\mbox{ if $N$ is even}),\;\; -1\le\kappa\le N/(N-2)\; (\mbox{ if $N$ is odd}) \]…

If $P(z)=\sum_{j=0}^{n}a_jz^j$ is a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zero in $|z|<1,$ then it was recently proved that for every $p\in[0,+\infty]$ and $s=0,1,\ldots,n-1,$ \begin{align*} \left\|a_nz+\frac{a_s}{\binom{n}{s}}\right\|_{p}\leq…

Univariate polynomials are called stable with respect to a domain $D$ if all of their roots lie in $D$. We study linear slices of the space of stable univariate polynomials with respect to a half-plane. We show that a linear slice always…

It is shown that the polynomial \[p(t) = \text{Tr}[(A+tB)^m]\] has positive coefficients when $m = 6$ and $A$ and $B$ are any two 3-by-3 complex Hermitian positive definite matrices. This case is the first that is not covered by prior,…

A normalized univalent function is uniformly convex if it maps every circular arc contained in the open unit disk with center in it into a convex curve. This article surveys recent results on the class of uniformly convex functions and on…

For a fixed $a \in \{1, 2, 3, \ldots\},$ the radius of starlikeness of positive order is obtained for each of the normalized analytic functions \begin{align*} \mathtt{f}_{a, \nu}(z)&:= \bigg(2^{a \nu-a+1} a^{-\frac{a(a\nu-a+1)}{2}} \Gamma(a…

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…

We investigate the non-univalent function's properties reminiscent of the theory of univalent starlike functions. Let the analytic function $\psi(z)=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}A_i z^i$, $A_1\neq0$ be univalent in the unit disk. Non-univalent…

Let $\ID$ denote the open unit disk and $f:\,\ID\TO\BAR\IC$ be meromorphic and univalent in $\ID$ with the simple pole at $p\in (0,1)$ and satisfying the standard normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$. Also, let $f$ have the expansion…
