Based on the generalized Routh-Hurwitz criterion, we propose a sufficient and necessary criterion for testing the stability of fractional-order linear systems with order {\alpha}{\in}[1,2), called the fractional-order Routh-Hurwitz…
Recently, the authors and de Wolff introduced the imaginary projection of a polynomial $f\in\mathbb{C}[\mathbf{z}]$ as the projection of the variety of $f$ onto its imaginary part, $\mathcal{I}(f) \ = \ \{\text{Im}(\mathbf{z}) \, : \,…
We consider the decidability and complexity of the Ultimate Positivity Problem, which asks whether all but finitely many terms of a given rational linear recurrence sequence (LRS) are positive. Using lower bounds in Diophantine…
This paper investigates the number of monic integer polynomials of degree $n$ whose roots are all real and positive. We establish an asymptotic formula for the case of fixed trace by estimating the number of integer sequences satisfying…
We find all polynomials $Z(z)$ such that the differential equation $${X(z)\frac{d^2}{dz^2}+Y(z)\frac{d}{dz}+Z(z)}S(z)=0,$$ where $X(z), Y(z), Z(z)$ are polynomials of degree at most 4, 3, 2 respectively, has polynomial solutions…
We consider real univariate polynomials with all roots real. Such a polynomial with $c$ sign changes and $p$ sign preservations in the sequence of its coefficients has $c$ positive and $p$ negative roots counted with multiplicity. Suppose…
In this article, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomial of degree $n$ to have exactly $n$ real roots. A complete study of polynomials of degree five is carried out. The results are compared with those obtained…
We study the class of polynomials whose Hessians evaluated at any point of a closed convex cone have Lorentzian signature. This class is a generalization to the remarkable class of Lorentzian polynomials. We prove that hyperbolic…
This is a continuation of notes on dynamics of quadratic polynomials. In this part we transfer the our prior geometric result to the parameter plane. To any parameter value c in the Mandelbrot set (which lies outside of the main cardioid…
A well-known theorem of Quillen says that if $r(z,\bar{z})$ is a bihomogeneous polynomial on ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ positive on the sphere, then there exists $d$ such that $r(z,\bar{z}){\lVert z \rVert}^{2d}$ is a squared norm. We obtain…
Positivstellens{\"a}tze are a group of theorems on the positivity of involution algebras over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. One of the most well-known Positivstellensatz is the solution to Hilbert's 17th problem given by E. Artin, which…
We employ the fact certain divided differences can be written as weighted means of B-splines and hence are positive. These divided differences include the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials of even degree $2p$, the positivity of…
In recent years, techniques based on convex optimization and real algebra that produce converging hierarchies of lower bounds for polynomial minimization problems have gained much popularity. At their heart, these hierarchies rely crucially…
This paper discusses the location of zeros of polynomials in a polynomial sequence $\{P_n(z)\}$ generated by a three-term recurrence relation of the form $P_n(z)+ B(z)P_{n-1}(z) +A(z) P_{n-k}(z)=0$ with $k>2$ and the standard initial…
The paper deals with a complex polynomial $H$ in two variables having - a generic highest homogeneous part (without multiple zero lines), - nonconstant lower terms. In particular, under these conditions the polynomial $H$ has at least two…
For a class of ordinary differential operators $P$ with polynomial coefficients, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $P$ to be globally regular in $\R$, i.e. $u\in\cS^\prime(\R)$ and $Pu\in\cS(\R)$ imply $u\in \cS(\R)$ (this…
We investigate positive definiteness, Hurwitz stability and Schur stability of parametric interval matrices. We give a verifiable sufficient condition for positive definiteness of parametric interval matrices with non-linear dependencies.…
The relationship between nonnegative polynomials and sums of squares is a classical topic in real algebraic geometry. We study \emph{stubborn polynomials} $f$ on a real variety $X$, which are polynomials nonnegative on $X$, such that no odd…
We follow a polynomial approach to analyse strong stability of linear difference equations with rationally independent delays. Upon application of the Hermite stability criterion on the discrete-time homogeneous characteristic polynomial,…
Let $(G_n(x))_{n=0}^\infty$ be a $d$-th order linear recurrence sequence having polynomial characteristic roots, one of which has degree strictly greater than the others. Moreover, let $m\geq 2$ be a given integer. We ask for…
