We prove the classical result, which goes back at least to Fourier, that a polynomial with real coefficients has all zeros real and distinct if and only if the polynomial and also all of its nonconstant derivatives have only negative minima…
We investigate the zeros of polynomial solutions to the differential-difference equation \[ P_{n+1}(x)=A_{n}(x)P_{n}^{\prime}(x)+B_{n}(x)P_{n}(x), n=0,1,... \] where $A_{n}$ and $B_{n}$ are polynomials of degree at most 2 and 1…
First a formula for the number of zeros of the orthogonal polynomial in the intervals is presented. Then a criteria about the appearance of a zero in a gap is given. Finally a necessary and sufficient condition is derived such that the…

Laguerre's theorem regarding the number of non-real zeros of a polynomial and its image under certain linear operators is generalized. This generalization is then used to (1) exhibit a number of previously undiscovered complex zero…
We give new sufficient conditions for a sequence of polynomials to have only real zeros based on the method of interlacing zeros. As applications we derive several well-known facts, including the reality of zeros of orthogonal polynomials,…
We present a theorem about irreducibility of a polynomial that is the resultant of two others polynomials. The proof of this fact is based on the field theory. We also consider the converse theorem and some examples.

Every linear, quadratic or cubic polynomial having all real zeros is the derivative of a polynomial having all real zeros. The statement is false for higher degree polynomials. In particular, not every fourth degree polynomial with real…
In a companion paper [On semiclassical orthogonal polynomials via polynomial mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. (2017)] we proved that the semiclassical class of orthogonal polynomials is stable under polynomial transformations. In this work we…
Real Nullstellensatz is a classical result from Real Algebraic Geometry. It has recently been extended to quaternionic polynomials by Alon and Paran. The aim of this paper is to extend their Quaternionic Nullstellensatz to matrix…
We give a survey concerning both very classical and recent results on the electrostatic interpretation of the zeros of some well-known families of polynomials, and the interplay between these models and the asymptotic distribution of their…
The main purpose of this paper is to present the generalization of the inequalities between the modulus of the polar derivative and the polynomial itself, depending on consideration of the zeros inside and outside of a closed disk and the…
The purpose of this note is to extend in a simple and unified way the known results on interlacing of zeros of paraorthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. These polynomials can be regarded as the characteristic polynomials of any matrix…
The literature on quaternionic polynomials and, in particular, on methods for determining and classifying their zero-sets, is fast developing and reveals a growing interest on this subject. In contrast, polynomials defined over the algebra…
This paper discusses the location of zeros of polynomials in a polynomial sequence $\{P_n(z)\}$ generated by a three-term recurrence relation of the form $P_n(z)+ B(z)P_{n-1}(z) +A(z) P_{n-k}(z)=0$ with $k>2$ and the standard initial…

The main goal of this article is to provide a proof of the Pederson-Roy-Szpirglas theorem about counting common real zeros of real polynomial equations by using basic results from Linear algebra and Commutative algebra. The main tools are…
By addressing a long-standing open problem, listed in a highly regarded collection of open questions in the field and described as a "worthwhile research project", this note extends Markov's theorem (Markoff, Math. Ann., 27:177-182, 1886)…
