The Gauss-Lucas theorem says that for any complex polynomial $P$, the roots of the derivative $P'$ lie in the convex hull of the roots of $P$. In other words, the roots of $P'$ lie inside the smallest convex subset of the complex plane…

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,…

The classic Gauss-Lucas Theorem for complex polynomials of degree $d\ge2$ has a natural reformulation over quaternions, obtained via rotation around the real axis. We prove that such a reformulation is true only for $d=2$. We present a new…

A multivariate Gauss-Lucas theorem is proved, sharpening and generalizing previous results on this topic. The theorem is stated in terms of a seemingly new notion of convexity. Applications to multivariate stable polynomials are given.

In this note we extend the Gauss-Lucas theorem on the zeros of the derivative of a univariate polynomial to the case of sequences of univariate polynomials whose almost all zeros lie in a given convex bounded domain in C.

According to the classical Gauss-Lucas theorem all zeros of the derivative of a complex non-constant polynomial p lie in the convex hull of the zeros of p. It is proved that for a polynomial p of degree four with four different zeros…

We prove a version of Gauss's Lemma. It recursively constructs polynomials {c_k} for k=0,1,...,m+n, in Z[a_i,A_i,b_j,B_j] for i=0,...,m, and j=0,1,...,n, having degree at most (m+n choose m) in each of the four variable sets, such that…

Let $S(\phi)= \{z:\;|\arg(z)|\geq \phi\}$ be a sector on the complex plane $\CC$. If $\phi\geq \pi/2$, then $S(\phi)$ is a convex set and, according to the Gauss-Lucas theorem, if a polynomial $p(z)$ has all its zeros on $S(\phi)$, then the…

In this paper, we generalize Gauss' lemma for polynomials over subtractive factorial semidomains.

We study the roots of polynomials over Cayley--Dickson algebras over an arbitrary field and of arbitrary dimension. For this purpose we generalize the concept of spherical roots from quaternion and octonion polynomials to this setting, and…

We establish an alternative, ``perpendicular" collection of generating functions for the coefficients of Gaussian polynomials, $\begin{bmatrix}N+m\\m\end{bmatrix}_q$. We provide a general characterization of these perpendicular generating…

An analogue of the Gauss-Lucas theorem for polynomials over the algebraic closure $\mathbb C_p$ of the field of $p$-adic numbers is considered.

In 2012, Andrews and Merca proved a truncated theorem on Euler's pentagonal number theorem, which opened up a new study on truncated theta series. In particular, some truncated versions of a identity of Gauss have been proved. In this…

We give a short proof, using generating functions, for a polynomial congruence for Eulerian polynomials first proved, using arrangements of hyperplanes, by Yoshinaga and later proved, using roots of unity, by Iijima, Sasaki, Takahashi, and…

We prove congruence relations modulo cyclotomic polynomials for multisums of $q$-factorial ratios, therefore generalizing many well-known $p$-Lucas congruences. Such congruences connect various classical generating series to their…

A theorem of Kushnirenko and Bernstein shows that the number of isolated roots of a system of polynomials in a torus is bounded above by the mixed volume of the Newton polytopes of the given polynomials, and this upper bound is generically…
