We consider three realization problems about monic real univariate polynomials without vanishing coefficients. Such a polynomial $P:=\sum_{j=0}^db_jx^j$ defines the sign pattern $\sigma (P):=({\rm sgn}(b_d)$, $\ldots$, ${\rm sgn}(b_0))$.…
Viewing a bivariate polynomial f in R[x,t] as a family of univariate polynomials in t parametrized by real numbers x, we call f real rooted if this family consists of monic polynomials with only real roots. If f is the characteristic…
We present a Hilbert space geometric approach to the problem of characterizing the positive bivariate trigonometric polynomials that can be represented as the square of a two variable polynomial possessing a certain stability requirement,…
A new family of polynomials, called cumulant polynomial sequence, and its extensions to the multivariate case is introduced relied on a purely symbolic combinatorial method. The coefficients of these polynomials are cumulants, but depending…
We consider polynomials $Q:=\sum _{j=0}^da_jx^j$, $a_j\in \mathbb{R}^*$, with all roots real. When the {\em sign pattern} $\sigma (Q):=({\rm sgn}(a_d),{\rm sgn}(a_{d-1})$, $\ldots$, ${\rm sgn}(a_0))$ has $\tilde{c}$ sign changes, the…
A formula for the partial trace of a full symmetrizer is obtained. The formula is used to provide an inductive proof of the well-known formula for the dimension of a full symmetry class of tensors.
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ and let $M_n(K)$, $n \ge 3$, be the matrix ring over $K$. We will show that the image of any multilinear polynomial in four variables evaluated on $M_n(K)$ contains all matrices…
The Tutte polynomial is a well-studied invariant of graphs and matroids. We first extend the Tutte polynomial from graphs to hypergraphs, and more generally from matroids to polymatroids, as a two-variable polynomial. Our definition is…
Polynomials known as Multiple Orthogonal Polynomials in a single variable are polynomials that satisfy orthogonality conditions concerning multiple measures and play a significant role in several applications such as Hermite-Pad\'e…
This paper studies an optimization problem on the sum of traces of matrix quadratic forms in $m$ semi-orthogonal matrices, which can be considered as a generalization of the synchronization of rotations. While the problem is nonconvex, the…
We prove that the coefficient of $t^2$ in $\mathsf{trace}((A+tB)^6)$ is a sum of squares in the entries of the symmetric matrices $A$ and $B$.
In this work we develop a discrete trace theory that spans non-conforming hybrid discretization methods and holds on polytopal meshes. A notion of a discrete trace seminorm is defined, and trace and lifting results with respect to a…
We lift to the multivariate Eulerian polynomials the identity implying that univariate Eulerian polynomials are palindromic. As a consequence of this generalization, we obtain nice combinatorial identities that can be directly extracted…
A Littlewood polynomial is a single-variable polynomial all of whose coefficients lie in $\{ \pm 1\}$. We establish the leading term asymptotics of the number of reciprocal or skew-reciprocal Littlewood polynomials with square discriminant.…
The Gram Spectrahedron of a polynomial parametrizes its sums-of-squares representations. In this note, we determine the dimension of Gram Spectrahedra of univariate polynomials.
We take the trace of Von-Neumann's ergodic theorem and get a trace formula of a unitary matrix family. It is an extension of Poisson summation formula in higher dimension. We also construct a family of crystalline measure with complex…
The completely bounded trace and spectral norms in finite dimensions are shown to be expressible by semidefinite programs. This provides an efficient method by which these norms may be both calculated and verified, and gives alternate…
The concept of a composed product for univariate polynomials has been explored extensively by Brawley, Brown, Carlitz, Gao, Mills, et al. Starting with these fundamental ideas and utilizing fractional power series representation (in…

An algorithm is presented for the efficient and accurate computation of the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a general square matrix. The algorithm is especially suited for the evaluation of canonical traces in determinant…
