In the geometry of polynomials, Schoenberg's conjecture, now a theorem, is a quadratic inequality between the zeros and critical points of a polynomial whose zeros have their centroid at the origin. We call its generalizations to other…
We study the effect on the zeros of generating functions of sequences under certain non-linear transformations. Characterizations of P\'olya--Schur type are given of the transformations that preserve the property of having only real and…
In this paper, we prove that given any \Pi^0_1 subset $P$ of $\{0,1\}^\NN$ there is a tileset $\tau$ with a set of configurations $C$ such that $P\times\ZZ^2$ is recursively homeomorphic to $C\setminus U$ where $U$ is a computable set of…
A Bernstein type inequality is obtained for the Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{\alpha,\beta}(x)$, which is uniform for all degrees $n\ge0$, all real $\alpha,\beta\ge0$, and all values $x\in [-1,1]$. It provides uniform bounds on a complete set of…
The zeros of D'Arcais polynomials, also known as Nekrasov--Okounkov polynomials, dictate the vanishing of the Fourier coefficients of powers of the Dedekind functions. These polynomials satisfy difference equations of hereditary type with…
We answer Totik's question on weighted Bernstein's inequalities showing that $$ \|T_n'\|_{L_p(\omega)} \le C(p,\omega)\, {n}\,\|T_n\|_{L_p(\omega)},\qquad 0<p\le \infty, $$ holds for all trigonometric polynomials $T_n$ and certain…
We establish some new Tur\'an's type inequalities for orthogonal polynomials defined by a three-term recurrence with monotonic coefficients. As a corollary we deduce asymptotic bounds on the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials with…
We show how Turan's inequality $P_n(x)^2-P_{n-1}(x)P_{n+1}(x)\geq 0$ for Legendre polynomials and related inequalities can be proven by means of a computer procedure. The use of this procedure simplifies the daily work with inequalities.…
In this paper, we present a correct proof of an $L_p$-inequality concerning the polar derivative of a polynomial with restricted zeros. We also extend Zygmund's inequality to the polar derivative of a polynomial.
Let $X$ be a projective variety of dimension $n$ over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and let $A, B, C$ be nef divisors on $X$. We show that for any integer $1\leq k\leq n-1$, $$ (B^k\cdot A^{n-k})\cdot (A^k\cdot…
We show that there are polynomials $p_N$ of arbitrarily large degree $N$, with coefficients equal to 0 or 1 (Newman polynomials), such that $$ \liminf_{N \to \infty} N \Linf{p_N^2} \bigl / p_N^2(1) < 1, $$ where $\Linf{q}$ denotes the…
For any $A(z),B(z),C(z)\in\mathbb{C}[z]$, we study the zero distribution of a table of polynomials $\left\{ P_{m,n}(z)\right\} _{m,n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}}$ satisfying the recurrence relation \[…
Let $\mathcal{N} \neq \{0\}$ be a fixed set of integers, closed under multiplication, closed under negation, or containing $\{\pm 1\}$. We prove that any zero of a polynomial in $\mathbf{Z}[X]$ whose coefficients lie in $\mathcal{N}$ can be…
We consider random polynomials $p_n(x)=\xi_0+\xi_1+\dots+\xi_n x^n$ whose coefficients are independent and identically distributed with zero mean, unit variance, and bounded $(2+\epsilon)^{th}$ moment (for some $\epsilon>0$), also known as…
From a sequence $\left\{ a_{n}\right\} _{n=0}^{\infty}$ of real numbers satisfying a three-term recurrence, we form a sequence of polynomials $\left\{ P_{m}(z)\right\} _{m=0}^{\infty}$ whose coefficients are numbers in this sequence. We…
Suppose $\{P_{n}^{(\alpha, \beta)}(x)\}_{n=0}^\infty $ is a sequence of Jacobi polynomials with $ \alpha, \beta >-1.$ We discuss special cases of a question raised by Alan Sokal at OPSFA in 2019, namely, whether the zeros of $…
An inverse polynomial has a Chebyshev series expansion 1/\sum(j=0..k)b_j*T_j(x)=\sum'(n=0..oo) a_n*T_n(x) if the polynomial has no roots in [-1,1]. If the inverse polynomial is decomposed into partial fractions, the a_n are linear…
Let $ p_n(x) $ be a random polynomial of degree $n$ and $\{Z^{(n)}_j\}_{j=1}^n$ and $\{X^{n, k}_j\}_{j=1}^{n-k}, k<n$, be the zeros of $p_n$ and $p_n^{(k)}$, the $k$th derivative of $p_n$, respectively. We show that if the linear statistics…
