Hyperbolic polynomials are real multivariate polynomials with only real roots along a fixed pencil of lines. Testing whether a given polynomial is hyperbolic is a difficult task in general. We examine different ways of translating…

We prove that the polynomials generated by the relation $\displaystyle{\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} H_m(z)t^m=\frac{1}{P(t)+z t^r Q(t)}}$ are hyperbolic for $m \gg 1$ given that the zeros of the real polynomials $P$ and $Q$ are real and sufficiently…

Every linear, quadratic or cubic polynomial having all real zeros is the derivative of a polynomial having all real zeros. The statement is false for higher degree polynomials. In particular, not every fourth degree polynomial with real…

The question how to certify non-negativity of a polynomial function lies at the heart of Real Algebra and also has important applications to Optimization. In this article we investigate the question of non-negativity in the context of…
We completely characterize sections of the cones of nonnegative polynomials, convex polynomials and sums of squares with polynomials supported on circuits, a genuine class of sparse polynomials. In particular, nonnegativity is characterized…
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…
We investigate the quantitative relationship between nonnegative polynomials and sums of squares of polynomials. We show that if the degree is fixed and the number of variables grows then there are significantly more nonnegative polynomials…
Hyperbolic polynomials are real polynomials whose real hypersurfaces are nested ovaloids, the inner most of which is convex. These polynomials appear in many areas of mathematics, including optimization, combinatorics and differential…
