In the present study, we propose necessary and sufficient assumptions on the coefficients in order to only get distinct real roots of polynomials.

This work is divided into three parts. The first part concerns polynomials in one variable with all real roots. We consider linear transformations that preserve real rootedness, as well as matrices that preserve interlacing. The second part…

Viewing a bivariate polynomial f in R[x,t] as a family of univariate polynomials in t parametrized by real numbers x, we call f real rooted if this family consists of monic polynomials with only real roots. If f is the characteristic…

We study the set of algebraic objects known as vanishing polynomials (the set of polynomials that annihilate all elements of a ring) over general commutative rings with identity. These objects are of special interest due to their close…

This paper investigates the number of monic integer polynomials of degree $n$ whose roots are all real and positive. We establish an asymptotic formula for the case of fixed trace by estimating the number of integer sequences satisfying…

A number of results are proved concerning non-real zeros of derivatives of real meromorphic functions. In particular, the paper supersedes the previous arXiv submission "Non-real zeros of linear differential polynomials in real meromorphic…

We show that if a real trigonometric polynomial has few real roots, then the trigonometric polynomial obtained by writing the coefficients in reverse order must have many real roots. This is used to show that a class of random trigonometric…

Some cubic polynomials over the integers have three distinct real roots with continued fractions that all have the same common tail. We characterize the polynomials for which this happens, and then investigate the situation for other…

We prove the classical result, which goes back at least to Fourier, that a polynomial with real coefficients has all zeros real and distinct if and only if the polynomial and also all of its nonconstant derivatives have only negative minima…

We prove that if a polynomial has a root mod $p$ for every large prime $p$, then it has a real root. As an application, we show that the primes can't be covered by finitely many positive definite binary quadratic forms.

Let $R$ be a real closed field. We consider basic semi-algebraic sets defined by $n$-variate equations/inequalities of $s$ symmetric polynomials and an equivariant family of polynomials, all of them of degree bounded by $2d < n$. Such a…

We compute the precise leading asymptotics of the variance of the number of real roots for a large class of random polynomials, where the random coefficients have polynomial growth. Our results apply to many classical ensembles, including…

Suppose that we are given a formal power series of many variables with coefficients in $\mathbb{R}$ (or $\mathbb{C}$) and we want to compute its $n$-th (multiplicative) root. As can be expected coefficients of the root have to satisfy a…

In this paper, we prove a number of results providing either necessary or sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the number of real roots of real polynomials of a given degree is either less or greater than a given number. We also provide…

We consider three realization problems about monic real univariate polynomials without vanishing coefficients. Such a polynomial $P:=\sum_{j=0}^db_jx^j$ defines the sign pattern $\sigma (P):=({\rm sgn}(b_d)$, $\ldots$, ${\rm sgn}(b_0))$.…

While the separation (the minimal nonzero distance) between roots of a polynomial is a classical topic, its absolute counterpart (the minimal nonzero distance between their absolute values) does not seem to have been studied much. We…

Below we discuss the partition of the space of real univariate polynomials according to the number of positive and negative roots and signs of the coefficients. We present several series of non-realizable combinations of signs together with…

We combine the known methods for univariate polynomial root-finding and for computations in the Frobenius matrix algebra with our novel techniques to advance numerical solution of a univariate polynomial equation, and in particular…

We construct rational all-pass matrix functions with real-valued coefficients for mirroring pairs of complex-conjugated determinantal roots of a rational matrix. This problem appears, for example, when proving the spectral factorization…

We study the bifurcation values of real polynomial maps $f: \bR^{2n} \to \bR^2$ which reflect the lack of asymptotic regularity at infinity. We formulate real counterparts of some structure results which have been previously proved in case…
