We develop new polynomial methods for studying systems of word equations. We use them to improve some earlier results and to analyze how sizes of systems of word equations satisfying certain independence properties depend on the lengths of…
Theorem 1 is a formula expressing the mean number of real roots of a random multihomogeneous system of polynomial equations as a multiple of the mean absolute value of the determinant of a random matrix. Theorem 2 derives closed form…

We provide upper bounds for the sum of the multiplicities of the non-constant irreducible factors that appear in the canonical decomposition of a polynomial $f(X)\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$, in case all the roots of $f$ lie inside an Apollonius…
We consider the sensitivity of real roots of polynomial systems with respect to perturbations of the coefficients. In particular - for a version of the condition number defined by Cucker, Krick, Malajovich, and Wschebor - we establish new…

We raise a question on the existence of continuous roots of families of monic polynomials (by the root of a family of polynomials we mean a function of the coefficients of polynomials of a given family that maps each tuple of coefficients…
We depart from our approximation of 2000 of all root radii of a polynomial, which has readily extended Sch{\"o}nhage's efficient algorithm of 1982 for a single root radius. We revisit this extension, advance it, based on our simple but…
Cyclotomic polynomials play fundamental roles in number theory, combinatorics, algebra and their applications. Hence their properties have been extensively investigated. In this paper, we study the maximum gap $g$ (maximum of the…
We discuss computations of the Thom polynomials of singularity classes of maps in the basis of Schur functions. We survey the known results about the bound on the length and a rectangle containment for partitions appearing in such Schur…
Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n \ge 1$ with real coefficients and let $X \ge 2$ and $\delta \ge 0$ be real numbers. Let $\|\cdot\|$ be the distance to the nearest integer. We obtain upper bounds for the number of solutions to the…
We classify the polynomials with integral coefficients that, when evaluated on a group element of finite order $n$, define a unit in the integral group ring for infinitely many positive integers $n$. We show that this happens if and only if…
Systems of orthogonal polynomials whose recurrence coefficients tend to infinity are considered. A summability condition is imposed on the coefficients and the consequences for the measure of orthogonality are discussed. Also discussed are…
The roots of any polynomial of degree m with complex integer coefficients can be computed by manipulation of sequences made from distinct symbols and counting the different symbols in the sequences. This method requires only primitive…

The independence polynomial of a graph is the generating polynomial for the number of independent sets of each size and its roots are called independence roots. We bound the maximum modulus, $\mbox{maxmod}(n)$, of an independence root over…
Our aim is to study matrix polynomials over max-algebras and their growth in terms of a max-induced semi-norm. We investigate the relationship between the asymptotic growth of polynomial products and the joint spectral radius of the…
In this paper, we consider modular local polynomials. These functions satisfy modularity while they are locally defined as polynomials outside of an exceptional set. We prove an inequality for the dimension of the space of such forms when…
