In this paper, we will derive the real roots of certain sets of matrices with real entries. We will also demonstrate that real orthogonal matrices can have real root or be involutory. Eventually, we will represent idempotent matrices in a…
Recently, B. Yang and J. Yang derived a family of rational solutions to the Sasa-Satsuma equation, and showed that any of its members constitutes a partial-rogue wave provided that an associated generalised Okamoto polynomial has no real…
Pellet's theorem determines when the zeros of a polynomial can be separated into two regions, based on the presence or absence of positive roots of an auxiliary polynomial, but does not provide a method to verify its conditions or to…
We provide sufficient conditions for systems of polynomial equations over general (real or complex) algebras to have a solution. This generalizes known results on quaternions, octonions and matrix algebras. We also generalize the…
We introduce rook-Eulerian polynomials, a generalization of the classical Eulerian polynomials arising from complete rook placements on Ferrers boards, and prove that they are real-rooted. We show that a natural context in which to…
We show that with high probability the number of real zeroes of a random polynomial is bounded by the number of vertices on its Newton-Hadamard polygon times the cube of the logarithm of the polynomial degree. A similar estimate holds for…
We study the spectral polynomial of the Treibich-Verdier potential. Such spectral polynomial, which is a generalization of the classical Lame polynomial, plays fundamental roles in both the finite-gap theory and the ODE theory of Heun's…
The independence polynomial of a graph is the generating polynomial for the number of independent sets of each size, and its roots are called {\em independence roots}. We investigate the stability of such polynomials, that is, conditions…
The roots of a complex polynomial depend continuously on the coefficients; that is, an infinitesimal perturbation of the coefficients results in an infinitesimal perturbation of the roots. A short, straightforward proof of this is possible…
Given any polynomial with real coefficients, the existence of a real quadratic polynomial factor is proven using only basic real analysis. The aim is to provide an approachable proof to anybody who is familiar with the least upper bound…
Given a graph $G$, its genus polynomial is $\Gamma_G(x) = \sum_{k\geq 0} g_k(G)x^k$, where $g_k(G)$ is the number of 2-cell embeddings of $G$ in an orientable surface of genus $k$. The Log-Concavity Genus Distribution (LCGD) Conjecture…
A remarkable identity involving the Eulerian polynomials of type D was obtained by Stembridge (Adv. Math. 106 (1994), p. 280, Lemma 9.1). In this paper we explore an equivalent form of this identity. We prove Brenti's real-rootedness…
We raise some questions about graph polynomials, highlighting concepts and phenomena that may merit consideration in the development of a general theory. Our questions are mainly of three types: When do graph polynomials have reduction…
The solution of the cubic equation has a century-long history; however, the usual presentation is geared towards applications in algebra and is somewhat inconvenient to use in optimization where frequently the main interest lies in real…
We survey the construction and properties of the Yamada polynomial of spatial graphs and present the Yamada polynomial formulae for some classes of graphs. Then we construct an infinite family of spatial graphs for which roots of Yamada…
The probability that a zero of a random real polynomial of increasing degree is real tends to zero. However, passing from polynomials to Laurent polynomials yields a surprising result: the probability that a root is real tends not to zero,…
The theorem of three circles in real algebraic geometry guarantees the termination and correctness of an algorithm of isolating real roots of a univariate polynomial. The main idea of its proof is to consider polynomials whose roots belong…
In this paper, we consider the problem of representing any polynomial in terms of the ordered Bell and degenerate ordered Bell polynomials, and more generally of the higher-order ordered Bell and higher-order degenerate ordered Bell…
We introduce the concept of piecewise interlacing zeros for studying the relation of root distribution of two polynomials. The concept is pregnant with an idea of confirming the real-rootedness of polynomials in a sequence. Roughly…
Brown and Colbourn (1992) showed that the complex roots of the reliability polynomial of connected multigraphs are dense in the unit disk and that the closure of the real roots is $[-1,0] \cup \{1\}$. We prove the simple graph analogues of…
