We prove that a bivariate polynomial f with exactly t non-zero terms, restricted to a real line {y=ax+b}, either has at most 6t-4 zeroes or vanishes over the whole line. As a consequence, we derive an alternative algorithm to decide whether…

Consider a random polynomial $$ G(z):=\xi_0+\xi_1z+\dots+\xi_nz^n,\quad z\in\mathbb{C}, $$ where $\xi_0,\xi_1,\dots,\xi_{n}$ are independent real-valued random variables with probability density functions $f_0,\dots,f_n$. We give an…

Let p_N be a random degree N polynomial in one complex variable whose zeros are chosen independently from a fixed probability measure mu on the Riemann sphere S^2. This article proves that if we condition p_N to have a zero at some fixed…

For every bivariate polynomial $p(z_1, z_2)$ of bidegree $(n_1, n_2)$, with $p(0,0)=1$, which has no zeros in the open unit bidisk, we construct a determinantal representation of the form $$p(z_1,z_2)=\det (I - K Z),$$ where $Z$ is an…

In this sequel to Part-I, we present a different approach to bounding the expected number of real zeroes of random polynomials with real independent identically distributed coefficients or more generally, exchangeable coefficients. We show…

For a univariate real polynomial without zero coefficients, Descartes' rule of signs (completed by an observation of Fourier) says that its numbers $pos$ of positive and $neg$ of negative roots (counted with multiplicity) are majorized…

Let $f_1,\dots,f_k\in\mathbb{R}[X]$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ with $f_1(0)=\dots=f_k(0)=0$. We show that there is an integer $n<x$ such that the fractional parts $\|f_i(n)\|\ll x^{c/k}$ for all $1\le i\le k$ and for some constant…

We utilize Cauchy's argument principle in combination with the Jacobian of a holomorphic function in several complex variables and the first moment of a ratio of two correlated complex normal random variables to prove explicit formulas for…

The expected number of zeros of a random real polynomial of degree $N$ asymptotically equals $\frac{2}{\pi}\log N$. On the other hand, the average fraction of real zeros of a random trigonometric polynomial of increasing degree $N$…

In this work, we study asymptotic zero distribution of random multi-variable polynomials which are random linear combinations $\sum_{j}a_jP_j(z)$ with i.i.d coefficients relative to a basis of orthonormal polynomials $\{P_j\}_j$ induced by…

There is a natural pluripotential-theoretic extremal function V_{K,Q} associated to a closed subset K of C^m and a real-valued, continuous function Q on K. We define random polynomials H_n whose coefficients with respect to a related…

There exist homogeneous polynomials $f$ with $\mathbb Q$-coefficients that are sums of squares over $\mathbb R$ but not over $\mathbb Q$. The only systematic construction of such polynomials that is known so far uses as its key ingredient…

Hayes equivalence is defined on monic polynomials over a finite field $\fq$ in terms of the prescribed leading coefficients and the residue classes modulo a given monic polynomial $Q$. We study the distribution of the number of zeros in a…

Denote by $\Gamma$ the set of pointwise good sequences. Those are sequences of real numbers $(a_k)$ such that for any measure preserving flow $(U_t)_{t\in \mathbb R}$ on a probability space and for any $f\in L^\infty$, the averages…

If $P(z)=\sum_{j=0}^{n}a_jz^j$ is a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zero in $|z|<1,$ then it was recently proved that for every $p\in[0,+\infty]$ and $s=0,1,\ldots,n-1,$ \begin{align*} \left\|a_nz+\frac{a_s}{\binom{n}{s}}\right\|_{p}\leq…
