Analysing the cubic sectors of a real polynomial of degree n, a modification of the Newton Rule is Signs is proposed with which stricter upper bound on the number of real roots can be found. A new necessary condition for reality of the…
Let $f$ be a polynomial in $n$ variables $x_1,\dots,x_n$ with real coefficients. In [Ghasemi-Marshal], Ghasemi and Marshall give an algorithm, based on geometric programming, which computes a lower bound for $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. In…
The Mahler measure of a polynomial is a measure of complexity formed by taking the modulus of the leading coefficient times the modulus of the product of its roots outside the unit circle. The roots of a real degree $N$ polynomial chosen…

We examine the behavior of the coefficients of powers of polynomials over a finite field of prime order. Extending the work of Allouche-Berthe, 1997, we study a(n), the number of occurring strings of length n among coefficients of any power…
We obtain a tight, up to a logarithmic factor, upper bound on the number of solutions to the equation $$ \sum_{j=1}^n a_j \frac{s_j}{r_j} =a_0, \qquad $$ with variables $r_1,...,r_n$ in an arbitrary box at the origin and variables $s_1,...,…
In this paper we present a complete method for finding the roots of all polynomials of the form $\phi(z)=c_n z^n+c_{n-1} z^{n-1}+\dots+c_1 z+c_0$ over a given octonion division algebra. When $\phi(z)$ is monic we also consider the companion…
Let $A\subset \mathbf{N}$ be a finite set of $n=|A|$ positive integers, and consider the cosine sum $f_A(x)=\sum_{a\in A}\cos ax$. We prove that $$\min_x f_A(x)\leqslant -n^{ 1/7-o(1)},$$ thereby establishing polynomial bounds for the…
We consider the problem of approximating all real roots of a square-free polynomial $f$. Given isolating intervals, our algorithm refines each of them to a width of $2^{-L}$ or less, that is, each of the roots is approximated to $L$ bits…
