In the moduli space of degree d polynomials, the special subvarieties are those cut out by critical orbit relations, and then the special points are the post-critically finite polynomials. It was conjectured that in the moduli space of…

We construct rational extensions of the Darboux-P\"oschl-Teller and isotonic potentials via two-step confluent Darboux transformations. The former are strictly isospectral to the initial potential, whereas the latter are only…

We establish simultaneous approximation properties of weighted first-order Sobolev orthogonal projectors onto spaces of polynomials of bounded total degree in the Euclidean unit ball. The simultaneity is in the sense that we provide bounds…

The dual discrete $q$-ultraspherical polynomials $D_n^{(s)}(\mu (x;s)|q)$ correspond to indeterminate moment problem and, therefore, have one-parameter family of extremal orthogonality relations. It is shown that special cases of dual…

It is shown that the polynomial \[p(t) = \text{Tr}[(A+tB)^m]\] has positive coefficients when $m = 6$ and $A$ and $B$ are any two 3-by-3 complex Hermitian positive definite matrices. This case is the first that is not covered by prior,…

Let $\mathscr{P}_\mathbb{Q}=\{ \alpha^n \; : \; \alpha \in \mathbb{Q}, \; n \ge 2\}$ be the set of rational perfect powers, and let $S \subseteq \mathscr{P}_\mathbb{Q}$ be a finite subset. We prove the existence of a polynomial $f_S \in…

There have been a number of recent works on the theory of period polynomials and their zeros. In particular, zeros of period polynomials have been shown to satisfy a "Riemann Hypothesis" in both classical settings and for cohomological…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for an arbitrary polynomial of degree $n$, especially with only real roots, to be trivial, i.e. to have the form a(x-b)^n. To do this, we derive new properties of polynomials and their roots.…

This paper presents a simple, self-contained account of Garding's theory of hyperbolic polynomials, including a recent convexity result of Bauschke-Guler-Lewis-Sendov and an inequality of Gurvits. This account also contains new results,…

The speed of convergence of the R-linear GMRES is bounded in terms of a polynomial approximation problem on a finite subset of the spectrum. This result resembles the classical GMRES convergence estimate except that the matrix involved is…

We consider some known and some new properties of the family of polynomials introduced by Ted Suffridge in 1969. We begin by giving a brief overview of their extremal properties in classic and more recent work. We also give a compact form…

We give necessary conditions satisfied by the set of odd prime divisors of binary perfect polynomials. This allows us to get a new characterization of all the known perfect binary polynomials.

We propose a general method to construct symmetric tensor polynomials in the D-dimensional Euclidean space which are orthonormal under a general weight. The D-dimensional Hermite polynomials are a particular case of the present ones for the…

We start from a given one dimensional rationally extended potential associated with $X_m$ exceptional orthogonal polynomials and using the idea of supersymmetry in quantum mechanics, we obtain one continuous parameter ($\lambda$) family of…

For an arbitrary evolution family, we consider the notion of a polynomial dichotomy with respect to a family of norms and characterize it in terms of the admissibility property, that is, the existence of a unique bounded solution for each…

In this paper we consider monic polynomials such that their coefficients coincide with their zeros. These polynomials were first introduced by S. Ulam. We combine methods of algebraic geometry and dynamical systems to prove several results.…

A paper of the first author and Zilke proposed seven combinatorial problems around formulas for the characteristic polynomial and the exponents of an isolated quasihomogeneous singularity. The most important of them was a conjecture on the…

We give four examples of families of orthogonal polynomials for which the coefficients in the recurrence relation satisfy a discrete Painlev\'e equation. The first example deals with Freud weights $|x|^\rho \exp(-|x|^m)$ on the real line,…

We study the polynomials $x^n + (1-x)^n + a^n, a \in\mathbb{Q}$, whose rational roots would yield counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem. We investigate their factorization over $\mathbb{Q}$. In the case $a \notin \{0, \pm 1\}$, we ask…

We introduce the notion of dR-absolutely special subvarieties in motivic variations of Hodge structure as special subvarieties cut out by (de Rham-)absolute Hodge cycles and conjecture that all special subvarieties are dR-absolutely…
