The approximate degree of a Boolean function $f(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{n})$ is the minimum degree of a real polynomial that approximates $f$ pointwise within $1/3$. Upper bounds on approximate degree have a variety of applications in…

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…

We prove that any pair of bivariate trinomials has at most 5 isolated roots in the positive quadrant. The best previous upper bounds independent of the polynomial degrees counted only non-degenerate roots and even then gave much larger…

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…

Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…

For a $t$-nomial $f(x) = \sum_{i = 1}^t c_i x^{a_i} \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$, we show that the number of distinct, nonzero roots of $f$ is bounded above by $2 (q-1)^{1-\varepsilon} C^\varepsilon$, where $\varepsilon = 1/(t-1)$ and $C$ is the…

Upper bounds on the maximum number of codewords in a binary code of a given length and minimum Hamming distance are considered. New bounds are derived by a combination of linear programming and counting arguments. Some of these bounds…

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…

A monomial curve $C$ is defined by a sequence of coprime integers $0 = a_0 < a_1 < \cdots < a_k =: d$. One gap of this sequence is $a_{i+1} - a_i - 1$. Gruson--Lazarsfeld--Peskine bound (1983) says that $reg (C) \le d - k +2$, which is…

In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of locating the zeros of polynomials of a quaternionic variable with quaternionic coefficients. We derive some new Cauchy bounds for the zeros of a polynomial by virtue of maximum modulus…

We provide optimal upper bounds on the growth of iterated sumsets $hA=A+\dots+A$ for finite subsets $A$ of abelian semigroups. More precisely, we show that the new upper bounds recently derived from Macaulay's theorem in commutative algebra…

We consider the problem of bounding away from 0 the minimum value m taken by a polynomial P of Z[X_1,...,X_k] over the standard simplex, assuming that m>0. Recent algorithmic developments in real algebraic geometry enable us to obtain a…

The triangle of sorted binomial coefficients $\left\langle {n \atop k} \right\rangle = \binom{n}{\lfloor \frac{n - k}{2} \rfloor}$ for $0 \leq k \leq n$ has appeared several times in recent combinatorial works but has evaded dedicated…

Expansive polynomials (whose roots are greater than 1 in modulus) often arise in dynamical systems and other computational problems. This paper examines the expansivity gap (the gap between 1 and the smallest modulus of the roots) of these…

In this paper, we derive new bounds for the zeros of quaternionic polynomials by applying localization theorems, which includes Gershgorin-type theorems for the left eigenvalues of matrices of left monic quaternionic polynomials. These…

In this paper we study the asymptotic zero distribution of eigenpolynomials for degenerate exactly-solvable operators. We present an explicit conjecture and partial results on the growth of the largest modulus of the roots of the unique and…

A polynomial is expansive if all of its roots lie outside the unit circle. We define some special determinants involving the coefficients of a real polynomial and formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for expansivity using these…

The study of random polynomials has a long and rich history. This paper studies random algebraic polynomials $P_n(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + \ldots + a_{n-1} x^{n-1}$ where the coefficients $(a_k)$ are correlated random variables taken as the…

We define the rectangular additive convolution of polynomials with nonnegative real roots as a generalization of the asymmetric additive convolution introduced by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava. We then prove a sliding bound on the largest…
