If alpha=alpha(G) is the maximum size of an independent set and s_{k} equals the number of stable sets of cardinality k in graph G, then I(G;x)=s_{0}+s_{1}x+...+s_{alpha}x^{alpha} is the independence polynomial of G. In this paper we prove…

The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by $$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,\ldots,x_n):=\sum_{k=0}^n {n+k \choose 2k}^{r}{2k\choose k} x_k. $$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $\varepsilon=\pm 1$, all the coefficients…

We define the second discriminant $D_2$ of a univariate polynomial $f$ of degree greater than $2$ as the product of the linear forms $2\,r_k-r_i-r_j$ for all triples of roots $r_i, r_k, r_j$ of $f$ with $i<j$ and $j\neq k, k\neq i$. $D_2$…

Let K be a field of characteristic zero. We prove that images of a linear K-derivation and a linear K-E-derivation of the ring K[x 1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ] of polynomial in three variables over K are Mathieu-Zhao subspaces, which affirms the LFED…

Lucas polynomials are polynomials in $s_1$ and $s_2$ defined recursively by $\{0\}=0$, $\{1\}=1$, and $\{m\}=s_1\{m-1\}+s_2\{m-2\}$ for $m \geq 2$. We generalize Lucas polynomials from 2-variable polynomials to multivariable polynomials.…

A polynomial is expansive if all of its roots lie outside the unit circle. We define some special determinants involving the coefficients of a real polynomial and formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for expansivity using these…

The main goal of the paper is to prove that the sequence of functions $f(x), Df(x), \dots, D^{2n+1}f(x)$, where $f(x)$ is $x^n\sin x$ or $x^n\cos x$ are linearly independent. Or more generally: that the sequence of functions $D^kf(x),…

We extend Kolchin's results on linear dependence over projective varieties in the constants, to linear dependence over arbitrary complete differential varieties. We show that in this more general setting, the notion of linear dependence…

Consider a polynomial of large degree n whose coefficients are independent, identically distributed, nondegenerate random variables having zero mean and finite moments of all orders. We show that such a polynomial has exactly k real zeros…

We give a criterion which characterizes a homogeneous real multi-variate polynomial to have the property that all sufficiently large powers of the polynomial (as well as their products with any given positive homogeneous polynomial) have…

We establish asymptotic formulae for the number of $k$-free values of polynmilas $F(x_1,\cdots,x_n)\in\mathbb{Z}[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ of degree $d\geq 2$ for any $n\geq 1$, including when the variables are prime, as long as $k\geq (3d+1)/4$.…

For any positive integers $n \ge 3$ and $r \ge 1$, we prove that the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ in which the coefficients of $T^{n-1}$, $T^{n-2}$ and $T^{n-3}$ are prescribed has period…

We show that the higher Pythagoras numbers for the polynomial ring are infinite $p_{2s}(K[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n])=\infty$ provided that $K$ is a formally real field, $n\geq2$ and $s\geq 1$. This almost fully solves an old question \cite[Problem…

We present a new positive lower bound for the minimum value taken by a polynomial P with integer coefficients in k variables over the standard simplex of R^k, assuming that P is positive on the simplex. This bound depends only on the number…

From around 2010 onward, Elsner et al.,developed and applied a method in which the algebraic independence of n quantities x_1,...,x_n over a field is transferred to further n quantities y_1,...,y_n by means of a system of polynomials in 2n…

Let k be a field, let R be a ring of polynomials in a finite number of variables over k, let D be the ring of k-linear differential operators of R and let f be a non-zero element of R. It is well-known that R_f, with its natural D-module…

We give an upper bound in O(d ^((n+1)/2)) for the number of critical points of a normal random polynomial with degree d and at most n variables. Using the large deviation principle for the spectral value of large random matrices we obtain…

We investigate the type I and type II multiple orthogonal polynomials on an $r$-star with weight function $|x|^{\beta}e^{-x^r}$, with $\beta>-1$. Each measure $\mu_j$, for $1\leq j \leq r$, is supported on the semi-infinite interval…
