In this paper we derive generalizations of different properties of monic polynomial families of binomial type, i.e. families of monic polynomials, for which the binomial theorem holds $$ p_n(\alpha+\beta)=\sum_{k=0}^n…
In this paper we investigate the uniform distribution properties of polynomials in many variables and bounded degree over a fixed finite field F of prime order. Our main result is that a polynomial P : F^n -> F is poorly-distributed only if…
We identify the scaling region of a width O(n^{-1}) in the vicinity of the accumulation points $t=\pm 1$ of the real roots of a random Kac-like polynomial of large degree n. We argue that the density of the real roots in this region tends…
Consider a system $f_1(x)=0,\ldots,f_n(x)=0$ of $n$ random real polynomials in $n$ variables, where each $f_i$ has a prescribed set of exponent vectors described by a set $A_i \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^n$ of cardinality $t_i$, whose convex hull…
For each $\alpha>0$ and $A(z),B(z)\in\mathbb{C}[z]$, we study the zero distribution of the sequence of polynomials $\left\{ P_{m}^{(\alpha)}(z)\right\} _{m=0}^{\infty}$ generated by $(1+B(z)t+A(z)t^{3})^{-\alpha}$. We show that for large…
Let $f$ be a non-zero polynomial with complex coefficients and define $M_n(f)=\int_0^1f(x)^n\,dx$. We use ideas of Duistermaat and van der Kallen to prove $\limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}|M_n(f)|^{1/n}>0$. In particular, $M_n(f)\ne 0$ for…
Let $M_n$ denote a random symmetric $n \times n$ matrix whose upper diagonal entries are independent and identically distributed Bernoulli random variables (which take values $1$ and $-1$ with probability $1/2$ each). It is widely…
The Casas-Alvero conjecture states that if $f(X)$ is a monic univariate polynomial of degree $d$ over a characteristic $0$ field $\mathbb{K}$ such that $\gcd(f, f_{i})$ is non-trivial for each $i=1, \dots, d-1$, then $f(X)=(X-\alpha)^d$ for…
For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, a graph $G$ is called \emph{$\mathcal{F}$-universal} if $G$ contains every graph in $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{F}_n(d)$ be the family of all graphs on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at…
We extend several predecessor works on even sextic monogenic polynomials. In particular, we prove a conjecture of Lenny Jones, thereby classifying even sextic monogenic polynomials with cyclic Galois group. This result is key to completing…
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…
Let $q\geqslant 2$ be a fixed prime power. We prove an asymptotic formula for counting the number of monic polynomials that are of degree $n$ and have exactly $k$ irreducible factors over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We also compare our…
It has been shown in a recent work by Yakir-Zeitouni that the minimum modulus of random trigonometric polynomials with Gaussian coefficients has a limiting exponential distribution. We show this is a universal phenomenon. Our approach…
We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials. It is well known that Kac polynomials, spanned by monomials with i.i.d. Gaussian coefficients, have only $(2/\pi + o(1))\log{n}$ expected…
We show that a monic univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero, with $k$ distinct non-zero known roots, is determined by its $k$ proper leading coefficients by providing an explicit algorithm for computing the multiplicities…
Let $f \in \mathbb{R}[x]$ be a polynomial with real coefficients. We say that $f$ is eventually non-negative if $f^m$ has non-negative coefficients for all sufficiently large $m \in \mathbb{N}$. In this short note, we give a classification…
We raise a question on the existence of continuous roots of families of monic polynomials (by the root of a family of polynomials we mean a function of the coefficients of polynomials of a given family that maps each tuple of coefficients…
We contribute to the exceptional APN conjecture by showing that no polynomial of degree m = 2 r (2 {\ell} + 1) where gcd(r, {\ell}) 2, r 2, {\ell} 1 with a nonzero second leading coefficient can be APN over infinitely many extensions of the…
Consider a system $f_1(x)=0,\ldots,f_n(x)=0$ of $n$ random real polynomials in $n$ variables, where each $f_i$ has a prescribed set of terms described by a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}^n$ of cardinality $t$. Assuming that the coefficients of…
