Wooley ({\em J. Number Theory}, 1996) gave an elementary proof of a Bezout like theorem allowing one to count the number of isolated integer roots of a system of polynomial equations modulo some prime power. In this article, we adapt the…

We give a simplified proof and an improvement of a recent theorem by A. Grigoriev, placing an upper bound for the number of roots of linear combinations of solutions to systems of linear equations with polynomial or rational coefficients.

In this paper, we give sharp upper and lower bounds for the number of degenerate monic (and arbitrary, not necessarily monic) polynomials with integer coefficients of fixed degree $n \ge 2$ and height bounded by $H \ge 2$. The polynomial is…

In this note we consider roots of multivariate polynomials over a finite grid. When given information on the leading monomial with respect to a fixed monomial ordering, the footprint bound [8, 5] provides us with an upper bound on the…

For univariate polynomials over arbitrary field the degree gives an upper bound on the number of roots (factor theorem) and as a related result for any finite point-set one can construct a polynomial of degree equal to the cardinality…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of boundary value problems for a family of functional differential equations with a non-integrable singularity are obtained.

The purpose of this work is to analyse a family of mutually orthogonal polynomials on the unit ball with respect to an inner product which includes an additional term on the sphere. First, we will get connection formulas relating classical…

Let $f \in { \mathbb R} ( t) [x]$ be given by $ f(t, x) = x^n + t \cdot g(x) $ and $\beta_1 < \dots < \beta_m$ the distinct real roots of the discriminant $\Delta_{(f, x)} (t)$ of $f(t, x)$ with respect to $x$. Let $\gamma$ be the number of…

A set of real $n$th roots that is pairwise linearly independent over the rationals must also be linearly independent. We show how this result may be extended to more general fields.

The multiple root loci among univariate polynomials of degree $n$ are indexed by partitions of $n$. We study these loci and their conormal varieties. The projectively dual varieties are joins of such loci where the partitions are hooks. Our…

We study how the field of definition of a rational function changes under iteration. We provide a complete classification of polynomials with the property that the field of definition of one of their iterates drops in degree (over a given…

Continued fractions whose elements are polynomial sequences have been carefully studied mostly in the cases where the degree of the numerator polynomial is less than or equal to two and the degree of the denominator polynomial is less than…

We extend our previous work on Poisson-like formulas for subresultants in roots to the case of polynomials with multiple roots in both the univariate and multivariate case, and also explore some closed formulas in roots for univariate…

In this paper, we give some counting results on integer polynomials of fixed degree and bounded height whose distinct non-zero roots are multiplicatively dependent. These include sharp lower bounds, upper bounds and asymptotic formulas for…

In this paper, by the generalized Bell umbra and Rolle's theorem, we give some results on the real rootedness of polynomials. Some applications on partition polynomials and the sigma polynomials of graphs are given.

We obtain a new bound of certain double multiplicative character sums. We use this bound together with some other previously obtained results to obtain new algorithms for finding roots of polynomials modulo a prime $p$.

Using polynomial evaluation, we give some useful criteria to answer questions about divisibility of polynomials. This allows us to develop interesting results concerning the prime elements in the domain of coefficients. In particular, it is…

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…

I explain a direct approach to differentiation and integration. Instead of relying on the general notions of real numbers, limits and continuity, we treat functions as the primary objects of our theory, and view differentiation as division…

We establish asymptotic upper bounds on the number of zeros modulo $p$ of certain polynomials with integer coefficients, with $p$ prime numbers arbitrarily large. The polynomials we consider have degree of size $p$ and are obtained by…
