We study monic univariate polynomials whose coefficients are analytic functions of a real variable and whose roots lie in a specified analytic curve. These include characteristic polynomials of unitary and hermitian matrices whose entries…

A method is proposed with which the locations of the roots of the monic symbolic quintic polynomial $x^5 + a_4 x^4 + a_3 x^3 + a_2 x^2 + a_1 x + a_0$ can be determined using the roots of two resolvent quadratic polynomials: $q_1(x) = x^2 +…

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…

We introduce an algebra given by quadratic relations in an algebra of polynomials in an infinite number of variables. Using this algebra, we prove some explicit formulas for the Sturm sequence of a polynomial.

We determine the conditions for the existence of $C^p$-roots of curves of monic complex polynomials as well as for the existence of $C^p$-eigenvalues and $C^p$-eigenvectors of curves of normal complex matrices.

This article provides a simple trigonometric method for determining how many roots of a quintic equation are real and how many are complex, without solving the equation. The approach transforms a depressed quintic $t^5 + mt^3 + nt^2 + pt +…

This survey revolves around the question how the roots of a monic polynomial (resp. the spectral decomposition of a linear operator), whose coefficients depend in a smooth way on parameters, depend on those parameters. The parameter…

The real type of a finite family of univariate polynomials characterizes the combined sign behavior of the polynomials over the real line. We derive an explicit formula for the number of real types subject to given degree bounds. For the…

First some old as well as new results about P.I. algebras, Ore extensions, and degrees are presented. Then quantized $n\times r$ matrices as well as quantized factor algebras of $M_q(n)$ are analyzed. The latter are the quantized function…

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

We give some real polynomials in two variables of degrees 4, 5, and 6 whose hessian curves have more connected components than had been known previously. In particular, we give a quartic polynomial whose hessian curve has 4 compact…
