We investigate multiplicity and symmetry properties of higher eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the $p$-Laplacian under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on certain symmetric domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. By means of…

We prove that every nodal domain of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian of eigenvalue $\lambda$ on a $d$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold contains a ball of radius $c\lambda^{-1/2}(\log\lambda)^{-(d-2)/2}$. This ball is centered at a…

We consider univariate real polynomials with all roots real and with two sign changes in the sequence of their coefficients which are all non-vanishing. One of the changes is between the linear and the constant term. By Descartes' rule of…

Let $P(x,z)= z^d +\sum_{i=1}^{d}a_i(x)z^{d-i}$ be a polynomial, where $a_i$ are real analytic functions in an open subset $U$ of $\R^n$. If for any $x \in U$ the polynomial $z\mapsto P(x,z)$ has only real roots, then we can write those…

We discuss several properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the $p$-Laplacian on a ball subject to zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Among main results, in two dimensions, we show the existence of nonradial eigenfunctions which…

There are many different algebraic, geometric and combinatorial objects that one can attach to a complex polynomial with distinct roots. In this article we introduce a new object that encodes many of the existing objects that have…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact connected orientable Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\ge4$ and let $\lambda_{k,p} (g)$ be the $k$-th positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian $\Delta_{g,p}=dd^*+d^*d$ acting on differential forms of degree $p$ on…

Assume that $f$ is Dunkl polyharmonic in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (i.e. $(\Delta_h)^p f=0$ for some integer $p$, where $\Delta_h$ is the Dunkl Laplacian associated to a root system $R$ and to a multiplicity function $\kappa$, defined on $R$ and…

We study the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian $\Delta_{\mu}=\frac{d}{d\mu}\frac{d}{dx}$ for a Borel probability measure $\mu$ on the interval $[0,1]$ by a technique that follows the treatment of the classical eigenvalue…

Over a composition algebra $A$, a polynomial $f(x) \in A[x]$ has a root $\alpha$ if and only $f(x)=g(x)\cdot (x-\alpha)$ for some $g(x) \in A[x]$. We examine whether this is true for general Cayley-Dickson algebras. The conclusion is that…

Let $\Sigma$ be an oriented compact hypersurface in the round sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ or in the flat torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, $n\geq 3$. In the case of the torus, $\Sigma$ is further assumed to be contained in a contractible subset of…

We study the analogue of polynomials (solutions to $\Delta^{n+1} u =0$ for some $n$) on the Sierpinski gasket ($SG$) with respect to a family of symmetric, self-similar Laplacians constructed by Fang, King, Lee, and Strichartz, extending…

We prove a version of both Jacobi's and Montel's Theorems for the case of continuous functions defined over the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers. In particular, we prove that, if \[ \Delta_{h_0}^{m+1}f(x)=0 \ \ \text{for all}…

Let M be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension n. Let f be an eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator corresponding to an eigenvalue \lambda. We show that the volume of {f>0} inside any ball B whose center lies on {f=0} is >…

In this article we have studied some properties of subharmonic functions in a strongly symmetric Riemannian manifold with a pole. As a generalization of polynomial growth of a function we have introduced the notion of polynomial growth of…

A skew polynomial ring $R=K[x;\sigma,\delta]$ is a ring of polynomials with non-commutative multiplication. This creates a difference between left and right divisibility, and thus a concept of left and right evaluations and roots. A…

Symmetric polynomials of the roots of a polynomial can be written as polynomials of the coefficients, and by applying this to the characteristic polynomial we can write a symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues $a_{i}$ of an $n\times n$…

We study the regularity of the roots of complex univariate polynomials whose coefficients depend smoothly on parameters. We show that any continuous choice of the roots of a $C^{n-1,1}$-curve of monic polynomials of degree $n$ is locally…

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…

In this paper, we present an isomorphism between the ring of general polynomials over a division ring of degree $p$ over its center $F$ and the group ring of the free monoid with $p^2$ variables. Using this isomorphism, we define the…
