According to the classical Gauss-Lucas theorem all zeros of the derivative of a complex non-constant polynomial p lie in the convex hull of the zeros of p. It is proved that for a polynomial p of degree four with four different zeros…

If $p:\mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ is a non-constant polynomial, the Gauss--Lucas theorem asserts that its critical points are contained in the convex hull of its roots. We consider the case when $p$ is a random polynomial of degree $n$ with…

The Gauss-Lucas theorem says that for any complex polynomial $P$, the roots of the derivative $P'$ lie in the convex hull of the roots of $P$. In other words, the roots of $P'$ lie inside the smallest convex subset of the complex plane…

The Gauss--Lucas theorem states that any convex set $K\subset\mathbb{C}$ which contains all $n$ zeros of a degree $n$ polynomial $p\in\mathbb{C}[z]$ must also contain all $n-1$ critical points of $p$. In this paper we explore the following…

Let $p:\mathbb{C} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be a polynomial. The Gauss-Lucas theorem states that its critical points, $p'(z) = 0$, are contained in the convex hull of its roots. A recent quantitative version Totik shows that if almost all…

In this note we extend the Gauss-Lucas theorem on the zeros of the derivative of a univariate polynomial to the case of sequences of univariate polynomials whose almost all zeros lie in a given convex bounded domain in C.

The classical Gauss--Lucas theorem describes the location of the critical points of a polynomial. There is also a hyperbolic version, due to Walsh, in which the role of polynomials is played by finite Blaschke products on the unit disk. We…

In this paper, we provide a simple proof of a generalization of the Gauss-Lucas theorem. By using methods of D-companion matrix, we get the majorization relationship between the zeros of convex combinations of incomplete polynomials and an…

A multivariate Gauss-Lucas theorem is proved, sharpening and generalizing previous results on this topic. The theorem is stated in terms of a seemingly new notion of convexity. Applications to multivariate stable polynomials are given.

Let $S(\phi)= \{z:\;|\arg(z)|\geq \phi\}$ be a sector on the complex plane $\CC$. If $\phi\geq \pi/2$, then $S(\phi)$ is a convex set and, according to the Gauss-Lucas theorem, if a polynomial $p(z)$ has all its zeros on $S(\phi)$, then the…

It is proved that the roots of the derivative of a polynomial with quaternionic coefficients belong to the union of the intersections of sets defined in terms of certain projections of a polynomial. The result strengthens the quaternion…

We apply the techniques developed by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava, working with principal submatrices in place of rank $1$ decompositions to give an alternate proof of their results on restricted invertibility. We show that one can find…

The classic Gauss-Lucas Theorem for complex polynomials of degree $d\ge2$ has a natural reformulation over quaternions, obtained via rotation around the real axis. We prove that such a reformulation is true only for $d=2$. We present a new…

We study critical points of holomorphic sections of $\ocal(m)$ on $\CP^n$. For quadrics, we give a complete discription of their critical points. When $n=1$, we prove a spherical Gauss-Lucas theorem. For general situation, we prove that a…

Let $p(z)$ be a complex polynomial of degree $n\ge 2$. For each $c\in\mathbb{C}$, let $K_c$ denote the convex hull of the zeros of $p(z)+c$, and let $K'$ denote the convex hull of the zeros of $p'(z)$. We prove that…

The Gauss--Lucas and B\^{o}cher--Grace--Marden theorems are classical results in the geometry of polynomials. Proofs of the these results are available in the literature, but the approaches are seemingly different. In this work, we show…

The existence of a nontrivial polynomially convex hull with every point a one-point Gleason part and with no nonzero bounded point derivations is established. This strengthens the \hbox{celebrated} result of Stolzenberg that there exists a…

According to the Thurston No Wandering Triangle Theorem, a branching point in a locally connected quadratic Julia set is either preperiodic or precritical. Blokh and Oversteegen proved that this theorem does not hold for higher degree Julia…
