We consider certificates of positivity for univariate polynomials with rational coefficients that are positive over (an interval of)~$\mathbb{R}$. Such certificates take the form of weighted sums of squares (SOS) of polynomials with…
In this paper, we obtain several new classes of irreducible polynomials having integer coefficients whose zeros lie inside an open disk around the origin or outside a closed annular region in the complex plane. Such irreducible polynomials…
With this article, we hope to launch the investigation of what we call the real zero amalgamation problem. Whenever a polynomial arises from another polynomial by substituting zero for some of its variables, we call the second polynomial an…
With any integer convex polytope $P\subset\midR^n$ we associate a multivariate hypergeometric polynomial whose set of exponents is $\midZ^{n}\cap P.$ This polynomial is defined uniquely up to a constant multiple and satisfies a holonomic…
We examine the maximal number of zeros a polynomial of degree at most n with constrained coefficients may have at 1. Our results are essentially sharp and extend earlier results of this variety. An interesting connection to certain…
In this paper, we study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials $W_n(z)$ satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear polynomial coefficients over positive numbers. We discover a sufficient and necessary condition for the…
We establish a discrepancy theorem for signed measures, with a given positive part, which are supported on an arbitrary convex curve. As a main application, we obtain a result concerning the distribution of zeros of polynomials orthogonal…
We present combinatorial rules (one theorem and two conjectures) concerning three bases of Z[x1,x2,....]. First, we prove a "splitting" rule for the basis of key polynomials [Demazure '74], thereby establishing a new positivity theorem…
Several recently discovered properties of multiple families of special polynomials (some orthogonal and some not) that satisfy certain differential, difference or q-difference equations are reviewed. A general method of construction of…
We exhibit a class of classical or tropical posynomial systems which can be solved by reduction to linear or convex programming problems. This relies on a notion of colorful vectors with respect to a collection of Newton polytopes. This…
We consider polynomials on the intersection of the closed positive orthant with the height-$1$ level hypersurface of certain polynomials with positive coefficients. We show that any polynomial strictly positive on such a semi-algebraic set…

We study real univariate polynomials with non-zero coefficients and with all roots real, out of which exactly two positive. The sequence of coefficients of such a polynomial begins with $m$ positive coefficients followed by $n$ negative…

Pourchet proved in 1971 that every nonnegative univariate polynomial with rational coefficients is a sum of five or fewer squares. Nonetheless, there are no known algorithms for constructing such a decomposition. The sole purpose of the…
Consider a regular triangulation of the convex-hull $P$ of a set $\mathcal A$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, and a real matrix $C$ of size $d \times n$. A version of Viro's method allows to construct from these data an unmixed polynomial…

In this paper we answer a question posed by C. A. Athanasiadis. Namely, we prove that the local $h$-polynomial of the $r$th edgewise subdivision of the $(n-1)$-dimensional simplex $2^V$ has only real zeros. In doing so we find a tool, using…
