Let p(z) be a complex polynomial of degree n. Let C be a circle containing its n-1 zeros, having its center in the centroid of these zeros. We prove that C must contain at least int((n-1):2) zeros of its derivative.

In this paper we introduce and develop the concept of expansivity of a tuple whose entries are elements from the polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x]$. As an inverse problem, we examine how to recover a tuple from the expanded tuple at any given…

We prove Polya's conjecture of 1943: For a real entire function of order greater than 2, with finitely many non-real zeros, the number of non-real zeros of the n-th derivative tends to infinity with n. We use the saddle point method and…

Let $P_{<n}(z)$ be the Rudin-Shapiro polynomial of degree $n-1$. We show that $|P_{<n}(z)|\le \sqrt{6n-2}-1$ for all $n\ge0$ and $|z|=1$, confirming a longstanding conjecture. This bound is sharp in the case when $n=(2\cdot 4^k+1)/3$ and…

Cilleruelo conjectured that for an irreducible polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ of degree $d \geq 2$ one has $$\log\left[\mathrm{lcm}(f(1),f(2),\ldots f(N))\right]\sim(d-1)N\log N$$ as $N \to \infty$. He proved it in the case $d=2$ but it…

Let ${\cal P}_n^c$ denote the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $n$ with complex coefficients. Let $$D^+ := \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z| \leq 1, \, \, \Im(z) \geq 0\}$$ be the closed upper half-disk of the complex plane. For…

In this note, we prove Veselov's conjecture on the zeros of Wronskians whose entries are Hermite polynomials when the degrees of the polynomials are consecutive positive integres.

The L'vov-Kaplansky conjecture states that the image of a multilinear noncommutative polynomial $f$ in the matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ is a vector space for every $n \in {\mathbb N}$. We prove this conjecture for the case where $f$ has degree…

We make progress on a conjecture of Cilleruelo on the growth of the least common multiple of consecutive values of an irreducible polynomial $f$ on the additional hypothesis that the polynomial be even. This strengthens earlier work of…

Given a probability measure $\mu$ with infinite support on the unit circle $\partial\mathbb{D}=\{z:|z|=1\}$, we consider a sequence of paraorthogonal polynomials $\h_n(z,\lambda)$ vanishing at $z=\lambda$ where $\lambda \in \T$ is fixed. We…

Let $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zero in $|z|<k$ where $k\geq 1,$ then for every real or complex number $\alpha$ with $|\alpha|\geq 1$ it is known \begin{equation*} \underset{|z|=1}{\max}|D_\alpha P(z)|\leq…

In this work we are interested in the Demyanov--Ryabova conjecture for a finite family of polytopes. The conjecture asserts that after a finite number of iterations (successive dualizations), either a 1-cycle or a 2-cycle eventually comes…

A classical theorem of Wendroff shows that one may reconstructs a sequence of orthogonal polynomials on the real line from two non-constant polynomials of consecutive degrees whose zeros strictly interlace on the real line. In this note we…

Using a result of Robertson \textit{[Proc. Edinburgh Math. Soc. (2), 1976]}, we introduce a notion of differentiation of maps on certain classes of unital commutative C*-algebras. We then derive C*-algebraic Gauss-Lucas theorem and…

The classical Hurwitz theorem says that if n first "harmonics" (2n + 1 Fourier coefficients) of a continuous function f(x) on the unit circle are zero, then f(x) changes sign at least 2n + 1 times. We show that similar facts and its…

A proof of Sendov's conjecture is given.

If all the zeros of $n$th degree polynomials $f(z)$ and $g(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k\binom{n}{k}z^k$ respectively lie in the cricular regions $|z|\leq r$ and $|z| \leq s|z-\sigma|$, $s>0$, then it was proved by Marden \cite[p. 86]{mm}…

In 1971, Ruzsa conjectured that if $f:\ \mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ with $f(n+k)\equiv f(n)$ mod $k$ for every $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and $f(n)=O(\theta^n)$ with $\theta<e$ then $f$ is a polynomial. In this paper, we investigate the…

The well-known Lvov-Kaplansky conjecture states that the image of a multilinear polynomial $f$ evaluated on $n\times n$ matrices is a vector space. A weaker version of this conjecture, known as the Mesyan conjecture, states that if $m=deg(…

We generalize a version of Lavrent\'ev's theorem which says that a function that is continuous on a compact set K with connected complement and without interior points can be uniformly approximated as closely as desired by a polynomial…
