Let $\{P_n \}_{n\ge0}$ be a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials with respect to a quasi--definite linear functional $u$ and $\{Q_n \}_{n\ge0}$ a sequence of polynomials defined by $$Q_n(x)=P_n(x)+s_n P_{n-1}(x)+t_n P_{n-2}(x),\quad…

We describe a new incomplete but terminating method for real root finding for large multivariate polynomials. We take an abstract view of the polynomial as the set of exponent vectors associated with sign information on the coefficients.…

The aim of this paper is twofold. The first part is concerned with the associated and the so-called co-polynomials, i.e. new sequences obtained when finite perturbations of the recurrence coefficients are considered. In the second part we…

We review some known inclusion results for the roots of a polynomial, and adapt them to a conjecture recently presented by S. A. Vavasis. In particular, we provide strict upper and lower bounds to the distance of the closest root of a…

We consider orthogonal polynomials with respect to a linear differential operator $$\mathcal{L}^{(M)}=\sum_{k=0}^{M}\rho_{k}(z)\frac{d^k}{dz^k}, $$ where $\{\rho_k\}_{k=0}^{M}$ are complex polynomials such that $deg[\rho_k]\leq k, 0\leq k…

Let $p(x)=a_0 + a_1 x + \ldots + a_n x^n$ be a polynomial with all roots real and satisfying $x \leq -\delta$ for some $0<\delta <1$. We show that for any $0 < \epsilon <1$, the value of $p(1)$ is determined within relative error $\epsilon$…

A new measure called min-max elementwise backward error is introduced for approximate roots of scalar polynomials $p(z)$. Compared with the elementwise relative backward error, this new measure allows for larger relative perturbations on…

We present algorithms revealing new families of polynomials allowing sub-exponential detection of p-adic rational roots, relative to the sparse encoding. For instance, we show that the case of honest n-variate (n+1)-nomials is doable in NP…

We derive semiclassical asymptotics for the orthogonal polynomials P_n(z) on the line with respect to the exponential weight \exp(-NV(z)), where V(z) is a double-well quartic polynomial, in the limit when n, N \to \infty. We assume that…

Univariate polynomials with only real roots -- while special -- do occur often enough that their properties can lead to interesting conclusions in diverse areas. Due mainly to the recent work of two young mathematicians, Julius Borcea and…

The notion of root polynomials of a polynomial matrix $P(\lambda)$ was thoroughly studied in [F. Dopico and V. Noferini, Root polynomials and their role in the theory of matrix polynomials, Linear Algebra Appl. 584:37--78, 2020]. In this…

For every system $\{ p_n(z) \}_{n=0}^\infty$ of OPRL or OPUC, we construct Sobolev orthogonal polynomials $y_n(z)$, with explicit integral representations involving $p_n$. Two concrete families of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials (depending…

We study orthogonal polynomials for a weight function defined over a domain of revolution, where the domain is formed from rotating a two-dimensional region and goes beyond the quadratic domains. Explicit constructions of orthogonal bases…

The probability that a zero of a random real polynomial of increasing degree is real tends to zero. However, passing from polynomials to Laurent polynomials yields a surprising result: the probability that a root is real tends not to zero,…

It is well-known that orthogonal polynomials on the real line satisfy a three-term recurrence relation and conversely every system of polynomials satisfying a three-term recurrence relation is orthogonal with respect to some positive Borel…

Let $(Z^{(n)}_k)_{1 \leq k \leq n}$ be a random set of points and let $\mu_n$ be its \emph{empirical measure}: $$\mu_n = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^n \delta_{Z^{(n)}_k}. $$ Let $$P_n(z) := (z - Z^{(n)}_1)\cdots (z - Z^{(n)}_n)\quad…

We introduce the concept of piecewise interlacing zeros for studying the relation of root distribution of two polynomials. The concept is pregnant with an idea of confirming the real-rootedness of polynomials in a sequence. Roughly…

In this paper, we prove optimal local universality for roots of random polynomials with arbitrary coeffcients of polynomial growth. As an application, we derive, for the first time, sharp estimates for the number of real roots of these…

Let $f \in { \mathbb R} ( t) [x]$ be given by $ f(t, x) = x^n + t \cdot g(x) $ and $\beta_1 < \dots < \beta_m$ the distinct real roots of the discriminant $\Delta_{(f, x)} (t)$ of $f(t, x)$ with respect to $x$. Let $\gamma$ be the number of…

We investigate the zeros of a family of hypergeometric polynomials $_2F_1(-n,-x;a;t)$, $n\in\nn$ that are known as the Meixner polynomials for certain values of the parameters $a$ and $t$. When $a=-N$, $N\in\nn$ and $t=\frac1{p}$, the…
