We show how to compute any symmetric Boolean function on $n$ variables over any field (as well as the integers) with a probabilistic polynomial of degree $O(\sqrt{n \log(1/\epsilon)})$ and error at most $\epsilon$. The degree dependence on…

In this paper, we recast a special case of Mahler'c conjecture by the maximum value of box splines. This is the case of polytopes with at most $2n+2$ facets. An asymptotic formula for univariate box splines is given. Based on the formula,…

Suppose that $\langle f_n \rangle$ is a sequence of polynomials, $\langle f_n^{(k)}(0)\rangle$ converges for every non-negative integer $k$, and that the limit is not $0$ for some $k$. It is shown that if all the zeros of $f_1, f_2, \dots$…

We study polynomials in $x$ and $y$ of degree $n+m:\allowbreak \{Q_{m,n}(x,y|t,q)\}_{n,m\geq 0}$ that appeared recently in the following identity: $\gamma_{m,n}(x,y|t,q) \allowbreak =\allowbreak \gamma_{0,0}(x,y|t,q) \allowbreak…

We study the maximum modulus set, $\mathcal{M}(p)$, of a polynomial $p$. We are interested in constructing $p$ so that $\mathcal{M}(p)$ has certain exceptional features. Jassim and London gave a cubic polynomial $p$ such that…

This paper investigates the zero distribution of a sequence of polynomials $\left\{ P_{m}(z)\right\} _{m=0}^{\infty}$ generated by the reciprocal of $1+ct+B(z)t^{2}+A(z)t^{3}$ where $c\in\mathbb{R}$ and $A(z)$, $B(z)$ are real linear…

For each positive integer n, we define a polynomial in the variables z_1,...,z_n with coefficients in the ring $\mathbb{Q}[q,t,r]$ of polynomial functions of three parameters q, t, r. These polynomials naturally arise in the context of…

Generalizing several previous results in the literature on rational harmonic functions, we derive bounds on the maximum number of zeros of functions $f(z) = \frac{p(z)}{q(z)} - \overline{z}$, which depend on both $\mathrm{deg}(p)$ and…

A probabilistic approach to the study of the number of zeros of complex harmonic polynomials was initiated by W. Li and A. Wei (2009), who derived a Kac-Rice type formula for the expected number of zeros of random harmonic polynomials with…

Given a polynomial $p$ with no zeros in the polydisk, or equivalently the poly-upper half-plane, we study the problem of determining the ideal of polynomials $q$ with the property that the rational function $q/p$ is bounded near a boundary…

Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n$. Rivlin \cite{Rivlin} proved that if $p(z)\neq 0$ in the unit disk, then for $0<r\leq 1$, $\displaystyle{\max_{|z| = r}|p(z)|} \geq \Big(\dfrac{r+1}{2}\Big)^n…

We show that smooth curves of monic complex polynomials $P_a (Z)=Z^n+\sum_{j=1}^n a_j Z^{n-j}$, $a_j : I \to \mathbb C$ with $I \subset \mathbb R$ a compact interval, have absolutely continuous roots in a uniform way. More precisely, there…

We show that positivity on $\mathbb{R}_+^n$ and on $\mathbb{R}^n$ of real symmetric polynomials of degree at most $p$ in $n\ge2$ variables is solvable by algorithms running in $\mathrm{poly}(n)$ time. For real symmetric quartics, we find…

Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n,$ where the coefficients $a_j,$ $j \in \{0,1,2,\cdots n\},$ are real numbers. We impose some restriction on the coefficients and then prove some extensions and…

We establish the existence of infinitely many \emph{polynomial} progressions in the primes; more precisely, given any integer-valued polynomials $P_1, >..., P_k \in \Z[\m]$ in one unknown $\m$ with $P_1(0) = ... = P_k(0) = 0$ and any $\eps…

We consider multivariable polynomials over a fixed number field, linear in some of the variables. For a system of such polynomials satisfying certain technical conditions we prove the existence of search bounds for simultaneous zeros with…

If a real polynomial $f(x)=p(x^2)+xq(x^2)$ is Hurwitz stable (every root if $f$ lies in the open left half-plane), then the Hermite-Biehler Theorem says that the polynomials $p(-x^2)$ and $q(-x^2)$ have interlacing real roots. We extend…
