We study the geometry, topology and Lebesgue measure of the set of monic conjugate reciprocal polynomials of fixed degree with all roots on the unit circle. The set of such polynomials of degree N is naturally associated to a subset of…

We obtain an estimate for uniform approximation rate of bounded analytic in the unit disk functions by logarithmic derivatives of $C$-polynomials, i.e., polynomials, all of whose zeros lie on the unit circle $C:|z|=1$.

Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n \ge 1$ with real coefficients and let $X \ge 2$ and $\delta \ge 0$ be real numbers. Let $\|\cdot\|$ be the distance to the nearest integer. We obtain upper bounds for the number of solutions to the…

For $\beta \geq 1$, the \emph{$\beta$-skeleton depth} ($\SkD_\beta$) of a query point $q\in \mathbb{R}^d$ with respect to a distribution function $F$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ is defined as the probability that $q$ is contained within the…

We prove that almost all real numbers (with respect to Lebesgue measure) are approximated by the convergents of their $\beta$-expansions with the exponential order $\beta^{-n}$. Moreover, the Hausdorff dimensions of sets of the real numbers…

We prove the Pisot Conjecture for beta-substitutions: If beta is a Pisot number, the tiling dynamical system associated with the beta-substitution has pure discrete spectrum. As corollaries: (1) arithmetical coding of the hyperbolic…

Let either $R_k(t) := |P_k(e^{it})|^2$ or $R_k(t) := |Q_k(e^{it})|^2$, where $P_k$ and $Q_k$ are the usual Rudin-Shapiro polynomials of degree $n-1$ with $n=2^k$. In a recent paper we combined close to sharp upper bounds for the modulus of…

We introduce a framework to study the random entire function $\zeta_\beta$ whose zeros are given by the Sine$_\beta$ process, the bulk limit of beta ensembles. We present several equivalent characterizations, including an explicit power…

We calculate the exact value and find the polynomial of the best weighted polynomial approximation of kernels of the form $\frac {A+Bt}{(t^2+\lambda^2)^{s+1}}$, where $A$ and $B$ are fixed complex numbers, $\lambda>0$, $s\in {\mathbb N}$,…

Several conditions are known for a self-inversive polynomial that ascertain the location of its roots, and we present a framework for comparison of those conditions. We associate a parametric family of polynomials $p_\alpha$ to each such…

The \v{C}ern\'y conjecture (\v{C}ern\'y, 1964) states that each n-state \san\ possess a \sw\ of length $(n-1)^2$. From the other side the best upper bound for the \rl\ of n-state \sa\ known so far is equal to $\frac{n^3-n}6$ (Pin, 1983) and…

Let $\{p_1, \ldots , p_n \} \subset {\Bbb{R}}^2$ be a separated point set, i.e., any two points have a distance at least $1$. Let $k \ge 1$ be an integer, and $1 \le t_1 < \ldots < t_k$ be real numbers. Let $\delta > 0$. Suppose for all $1…

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…

There exist well-known tight bounds on the error between a function $f \in C^{\,n + 1}([-1, 1])$ and its best polynomial approximation of degree $n$. We show that the error meets these bounds when and only when $f$ is a polynomial of degree…

We compute the constant of approximation for an arbitrary rational point on an arbitrary smooth cubic hypersurface $X$ over a number field $k$, provided that there is a $k$-rational line somewhere on $X$. In the process, we verify the Coba…

We study the complexity of approximating complex zero sets of certain $n$-variate exponential sums. We show that the real part, $R$, of such a zero set can be approximated by the $(n-1)$-dimensional skeleton, $T$, of a polyhedral…

Let $E_n(f)_\mu$ be the error of best approximation by polynomials of degree at most $n$ in the space $L^2(\varpi_\mu, \mathbb{B}^d)$, where $\mathbb{B}^d$ is the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\varpi_\mu(x) = (1-\|x\|^2)^\mu$ for $\mu >…

Let $E\subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 2$, be a set of finite perimeter with $|E|=|B|$, where $B$ denotes the unit ball. When $n=2$, since convexification decreases perimeter (in the class of open connected sets), it is easy to prove the…
