We study the derivatives of polynomials with equally spaced zeros and find connections to the values of the Riemann zeta-function at the positive even integers.

We prove the classical result, which goes back at least to Fourier, that a polynomial with real coefficients has all zeros real and distinct if and only if the polynomial and also all of its nonconstant derivatives have only negative minima…

For every $m\in\mathbb{N}$, we establish the convergence of the averaged distributions of the zeros of the $m$-th order derivatives $(f^n)^{(m)}$ of the iterated polynomials $f^n$ of a polynomial $f\in\mathbb{C}[z]$ of degree $>1$ towards…

We shall give bounds on the spacing of zeros of certain functions belonging to the Laguerre-Polya class and satisfying a second order differential equation. As a corollary we establish new sharp inequalities on the extreme zeros of the…

It is shown that if $f$ or $1/f$ is a real entire function of infinite order of growth, with only real zeros, then $f''+\omega f$ has infinitely many non-real zeros for any $\omega > 0$.

The uniqueness problems on transcendental meromorphic or entire functions sharing at least two values with their derivatives or linear differential polynomials have been studied and many results have been obtained. In this paper, we study a…

We show that for a real transcendental meromorphic function f, the differential polynomial f'+f^m with m > 4 has infinitely many non-real zeros. Similar results are obtained for differential polynomials f'f^m-1. We specially investigate the…

We consider an analytic function $f$ whose zero set forms a unit intensity Poisson process on the real line. We show that repeated differentiation causes the zero set to converge in distribution to a random translate of the integers.

Let $T=\alpha_0 I + \alpha_1 D + ...+\alpha_n D^n$, where $D$ is the differentiation operator and $\alpha_0\not= 0$, and let $f$ be a square-free polynomial with large minimum root separation. We prove that the roots of $Tf$ are close to…

The absolute separation of a polynomial is the minimum nonzero difference between the absolute values of its roots. In the case of polynomials with integer coefficients, it can be bounded from below in terms of the degree and the height…

In this work we prove that if an entire function $f(z)$ is of order strictly less than one and it has only negative zeros, then for each nonnegative integer $k,m$ the real function…

Suppose that $\langle f_n \rangle$ is a sequence of polynomials, $\langle f_n^{(k)}(0)\rangle$ converges for every non-negative integer $k$, and that the limit is not $0$ for some $k$. It is shown that if all the zeros of $f_1, f_2, \dots$…

If f is a polynomial with integer coefficients and q is an integer, we may regard f as a map from Z/qZ to Z/qZ. We show that the distribution of the (normalized) spacings between consecutive elements in the image of these maps becomes…

Using the interplay between topological, combinatorial, and geometric properties of polynomials and analytic results (primarily the covering structure and distortion estimates), we analyze a path-lifting method for finding approximate…

In this paper, we study the unicity of entire functions concerning their $q-$shifts and $k-$th derivatives and prove: Let $f(z)$ be a transcendental entire function of zero-order, and $g(z)$ define as in (1.1). Let $a(z), b(z)$ be two…

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of the differential-difference polynomials of entire functions on $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. We prove the following result: Let $f(z)$ be a transcendental entire function on $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ of hyper-order less…

This paper studies the local spacings of deformations of the Riemann zeta function under certain averaging and differencing operations. For real h it considers A_h(s)= 1/2(xi(s+h)+ xi(s-h)) and B_h(s)=1/(2i)(xi(s+h)-xi(s-h)), where xi(s) is…

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…

We show that under repeated differentiation, the zeros of the Selberg $\Xi$-function become more evenly spaced out, but with some scaling towards the origin. We do this by showing the high derivatives of the $\Xi$-function converge to the…

We consider the zeros distributions on the derivatives of difference polynomials of meromorphic functions, and present some results which can be seen as the discrete analogues of Hayman conjecture \cite{hayman1}, also partly answer the…
