Given a basic compact semi-algebraic set $\K\subset\R^n$, we introduce a methodology that generates a sequence converging to the volume of $\K$. This sequence is obtained from optimal values of a hierarchy of either semidefinite or linear…

We make a number of comments on Chebyshev polynomials for general compact subsets of the complex plane. We focus on two aspects: asymptotics of the zeros and explicit Totik--Widom upper bounds on their norms.

Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n,$ where the coefficients $a_j,$ $j \in \{0,1,2,\cdots n\},$ may be complex. We impose some restriction on the coefficients of the real part of the given polynomial…

We construct a connected, compact set $K \subset \mathbb{C}^2$ with the following property: there exist points $p \in \hat{K} \setminus K$ such that there does not exist a sequence $\{A_\nu\}$ of analytic sets $A_\nu \subset\subset…

Let $w$ be a weight on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ having the form \[w(z)=|v(z)|^2\prod_{k=1}^s\left|\frac{z-a_k}{1-z\overline{a}_k}\right|^{m_k}\,,\quad m_k>-2,\ |a_k|<1,\] where $v$ is analytic and free of zeros in $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$,…

This note is motivated by an old result of Kronecker on monic polynomials with integer coefficients having all their roots in the unit disc. We call such polynomials Kronecker polynomials for short. Let $k(n)$ denote the number of Kronecker…

Let $D$ be a domain obtained by removing, out of the unit disk $\{z:|z|<1\}$, finitely many mutually disjoint closed disks, and for each integer $n\geq 0$, let $P_n(z)=z^n+\cdots$ be the monic $n$th-degree polynomial satisfying the planar…

The estimates of the uniform norm of the Chebyshev polynomials associated with a compact set $K$ in the complex plane are established. These estimates are exact (up to a constant factor) in the case where $K$ consists of a finite number of…

Let $(K,v)$ be a henselian valued field. Let $\mathbb{P}^{dless}\subset K[x]$ be the set of monic, irreducible polynomials which are defectless and have degree greater than one. For a certain equivalence relation $\,\approx\,$ on…

Given a quadratic map Q : K^n -> K^k defined over a computable subring D of a real closed field K, and a polynomial p(Y_1,...,Y_k) of degree d, we consider the zero set Z=Z(p(Q(X)),K^n) of the polynomial p(Q(X_1,...,X_n)). We present a…

Suppose $C \subset \mathbb{C}$ is compact. Let $q_k$ be a sequence of polynomials of degree $n_k \to \infty$, such that the locus of roots of all the polynomials is bounded, and the number of roots of $q_k$ in any closed set $L$ not meeting…

Let $K\subset\mathbb{C}$ be a compact set in the plane whose logarithmic capacity $c(K)$ is strictly positive. Let $\mathscr{P}_n(K)$ be the space of monic polynomials of degree $n,$ \emph{all} of whose zeros lie in $K.$ For $p\in…

We consider Chebyshev polynomials, $T_n(z)$, for infinite, compact sets $\frak{e} \subset \mathbb{R}$ (that is, the monic polynomials minimizing the sup-norm, $\Vert T_n \Vert_{\frak{e}}$, on $\frak{e}$). We resolve a $45+$ year old…

Let $p(z)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $n$, with complex coefficients, and let $q(z)$ be its monic factor. We prove an asymptotically sharp inequality of the form $\|q\|_{E} \le C^n \|p\|_E$, where $\|\cdot\|_E$ denotes the sup norm on…

Let $P$ be a finite simplicial comple with underlying space (union of simplices in $P$) $|P|$. Let $Q$ be a subcomplex of $P$. Let $a \geq 0$. Then there exists $K < \infty$, \emph{depending only on $a$ and $Q$,} with the following…
