We generalize Carlitz' result on the number of self reciprocal monic irreducible polynomials over finite fields by showing that similar explicit formula hold for the number of irreducible polynomials obtained by a fixed quadratic…

In this article we consider the existence of positive radial solutions for Hessian equations and systems with weights and we give a necessary condition as well as a sufficient condition for a positive radial solution to be large. The method…

For any fixed positive integer $n$, we study the root distribution of a sequence of polynomials $H_{m}(z)$ satisfying the rational generating function \[ \sum_{m=0}^{\infty}H_{m}(z)t^{m}=\frac{1}{1+B(z)t+A(z)t^{n}} \] where $A(z)$ and…

New Frobenius structures on Hurwitz spaces are found. A Hurwitz space is considered as a real manifold; therefore the number of coordinates is twice as large as the number of coordinates on Hurwitzs Frobenius manifolds of Dubrovin. Simple…

The Alexander-Hirschowitz theorem says that a general collection of $k$ double points in ${\bf P}^n$ imposes independent conditions on homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ with a well known list of exceptions. We generalize this theorem to…

This paper introduces and investigates a regularity condition in the asymptotic sense for optimization problems whose objective functions are polynomial. Under this regularity condition, the normalization argument in asymptotic analysis…

D. Khavinson and G. Swiatek proved that harmonic polynomials p(z)+q(z), where p is holomorphic, q is antiholomorphic, and deg p = n > 1 = deg q, can have at most 3n-2 complex zeros. We show that this bound is sharp for all n by proving a…

A polynomial $p \in \mathbb{R}[z_1, \cdots, z_n]$ is called real stable if it is non-vanishing whenever all the variables take values in the upper half plane. A well known result of Elliott Lieb and Alan Sokal states that if $p$ and $q$ are…

Determinantal polynomials play a crucial role in semidefinite programming problems. Helton-Vinnikov proved that real zero (RZ) bivariate polynomials are determinantal. However, it leads to a challenging problem to compute such a…

For $n \times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$ define $$\eta(A,B)=\sum_{S}\det(A[S])\det(B[S']),$$ where the summation is over all subsets of $\{1,..., n\}$, $S'$ is the complement of $S$, and $A[S]$ is the principal submatrix of $A$ with rows and…

We prove that all arrangements (consistent with the Rolle theorem and some other natural restrictions) of the real roots of a real polynomial and of its $s$-th derivative are realizable by real polynomials.

For a ring R and an endomorphism {\alpha} of R, we characterize the left and right strongly primeness of skew Hurwitz polynomial ring (hR, {\alpha}).

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 Schm\"udgen's Positivstellensatz gives a certificate to verify positivity of a strictly positive polynomial $f$ on a compact, basic, semi-algebraic set $\mathbf{K} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. A Positivstellensatz of this type is called…

A polynomial that is nonnegative need not be a sum of squares of polynomials. This classical gap, identified by Hilbert in 1888, lies at the heart of why the global optimization of multivariate quartic polynomials is NP-hard. Yet we show…

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…

Suppose $v(x,y):\mathbb C\rightarrow \mathbb R$ is an entire harmonic polynomial with no critical points in the right half plane. Let $z_1, z_2\in\mathbb C$ lie on a level set of $v$ , and assume ${\rm Re}(z_2)>{\rm Re}(z_1)\geq0$. We give…

Let $f$ be an ordinary polynomial in $\mathbb{C}[z_1,..., z_n]$ with no negative exponents and with no factor of the form $z_1^{\alpha_1}... z_n^{\alpha_n}$ where $\alpha_i$ are non zero natural integer. If we assume in addicting that $f$…

The purpose of this paper is to initiate a new attack on Arveson's resistant conjecture, that all graded submodules of the $d$-shift Hilbert module $H^2$ are essentially normal. We introduce the stable division property for modules (and…

We present two different proofs that positive polynomials on closed boxes of $\mathbb{R}^2$ can be written as bivariate Bernstein polynomials with strictly positive coefficients. Both strategies can be extended to prove the analogous result…
