We investigate the problem of determining the zeros of quaternionic polynomials using matrix method. In a recent paper, Dar et al. \cite{RD} proved that the zeros of a quaternionic polynomial and the left eigenvalues of the corresponding…

Following de Loera and Santos, the P\'olya exponent of a $n$-ary real form (i.e. a homogeneous polynomial in $n$ variables with real coefficients) $f$ is the infimum of the upward closed set of nonnegative integers $m$ such that $(x_1 +…

Let $A$ be a matrix with nonnegative real entries. A nonnegative factorization of size $k$ is a representation of $A$ as a sum of $k$ nonnegative rank-one matrices. The space of all such factorizations is a bounded semialgebraic set, and we…

A conjecture of Khang Tran [6] claims that for an arbitrary pair of polynomials $A(z)$ and $B(z)$, every zero of every polynomial in the sequence $\{P_n(z)\}_{n=1}^\infty$ satisfying the three-term recurrence relation of length $k$…

We show that for $n>k(4e\log k)^k$ every set $\{x_1,..., x_n\}$ of $n$ real numbers with $\sum_{i=0}^{n}x_i \geq 0$ has at least $\binom{n-1}{k-1}$ $k$-element subsets of a non-negative sum. This is a substantial improvement on the best…

Generalized $m$-gonal numbers are those $p_m(x)= [ (m - 2)x^2 - (m - 4)x ]/2 $ where $x$ and $m$ are integers with $m \geq 3$. If any nonnegative integer can be written in the form $ap_r(h)+bp_s(l)+cp_t(m)+dp_u(n)$, where $a,b,c,d$ are…

In theory of one complex variable, Gauss-Lucas Theorem states that the critical points of a non constant polynomial belong to the convex hull of the set of zeros of the polynomial. The exact analogue of this result cannot hold, in general,…
