It has been shown by Ibragimov and Zaporozhets [In Prokhorov and Contemporary Probability Theory (2013) Springer] that the complex roots of a random polynomial $G_n(z)=\sum_{k=0}^n\xi_kz^k$ with i.i.d. coefficients $\xi_0,\ldots,\xi_n$…

We introduce a new problem on the elementary symmetric polynomials $\sigma_k$, stemming from the constraint equations of some modified gravity theory. For which coefficients is a linear combination of $\sigma_k$ $1/p$-concave, with $0 \leq…

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…

It is shown that for every splitting of a polynomial with noncommutative coefficients into linear factors $(X-a_{k})$ with $a_{k}$'s commuting with coefficients, any cyclic permutation of linear factors gives the same result and all $a_{k}$…

The divisibility and congruence of usual and generalized central trinomial coefficients have been extensively investigated. The present paper is devoted to analytic properties of these numbers. We show that usual central trinomial…

We consider orthogonal polynomials with respect to a linear differential operator $$\mathcal{L}^{(M)}=\sum_{k=0}^{M}\rho_{k}(z)\frac{d^k}{dz^k}, $$ where $\{\rho_k\}_{k=0}^{M}$ are complex polynomials such that $deg[\rho_k]\leq k, 0\leq k…

We apply Rossi's half-plane version of Borel's Theorem to study the zero distribution of linear combinations of $\mathcal{A}$-entire functions (Theorem 1.2). This provides a unified way to study linear $q$-difference, difference and…

Let $\mathscr{P}_n $ denote the space of all complex polynomials $P(z)=\sum_{j=0}^{n}a_{j}{z}^{j}$ of degree $n$ and $\mathcal{B}_n$ a family of operators that maps $\mathscr{P}_n$ into itself. In this paper, we consider a problem of…

We identify a class of remarkable algebraic relations satisfied by the zeros of the Krall orthogonal polynomials that are eigenfunctions of linear differential operators of order higher than two. Given an orthogonal polynomial family…

Consider the Wronskians of the classical Hermite polynomials $$H_{\lambda, l}(x):=\mathrm{Wr}(H_l(x),H_{k_1}(x),\ldots, H_{k_n}(x)), \quad l \in \mathbb Z_{\geq 0},$$ where $k_i=\lambda_i+n-i, \,\, i=1,\dots, n$ and $\lambda=(\lambda_1,…

Eulerian polynomials are fundamental in combinatorics and algebra. In this paper we study the linear transformation $\mathcal{A} : \mathbb{R}[t] \to \mathbb{R}[t]$ defined by $\mathcal{A}(t^n) = A_n(t)$, where $A_n(t)$ denotes the $n$-th…

The Eulerian transformation is the linear operator on polynomials in one variable with real coefficients which maps the powers of this variable to the corresponding Eulerian polynomials. The derangement transformation is defined similarly.…

A polynomial is real-rooted if all of its roots are real. For every polynomial $f(t) \in {\mathbf R}[t]$, the Hermite-Sylvester theorem associates a quadratic form $\Phi_2$ such that $f(t)$ is real-rooted if and only if $\Phi_2$ is positive…

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 introduce a family of polynomials, which arise in three distinct ways: in the large $N$ expansion of a matrix integral, as a weighted enumeration of factorisations of permutations, and via the topological recursion. More explicitly, we…

If a real polynomial $f(x)=p(x^2)+xq(x^2)$ is Hurwitz stable (every root if $f$ lies in the open left half-plane), then the Hermite-Biehler Theorem says that the polynomials $p(-x^2)$ and $q(-x^2)$ have interlacing real roots. We extend…

Some properties and relations satisfied by the polynomial solutions of a bispectral problem are studied. Given a finite order differential operator, under certain restrictions, its polynomial eigenfunctions are explicitly obtained, as well…

Given a real closed polytope $P$, we first describe the Fourier transform of its indicator function by using iterations of Stokes' theorem. We then use the ensuing Fourier transform formulations, together with the Poisson summation formula,…
