We prove expressions for the inequalities in Hermite's theorem which are conditions for a real polynomial to have real zeros. These expressions generalize the discriminant of a quadratic polynomial and the expression of J. Mar\'ik for a…

An algorithm which either finds an nonzero integer vector ${\mathbf m}$ for given $t$ real $n$-dimensional vectors ${\mathbf x}_1,...,{\mathbf x}_t$ such that ${\mathbf x}_i^T{\mathbf m}=0$ or proves that no such integer vector with norm…

The ratio monotonicity of a polynomial is a stronger property than log-concavity. Let P(x) be a polynomial with nonnegative and nondecreasing coefficients. We prove the ratio monotone property of P(x+1), which leads to the log-concavity of…

We will show that for $q<p$ there exists an $\al < \infty$ such that \[ \pi_{pq}(T) \pl \le c_{pq} \pi_{pq}^{[n^{\alpha}]}(T) \mbox{for all $T$ of rank $n$.}\] Such a polynomial number is only possible if $q=2$ or $q<p$. Furthermore, the…

We consider random systems of equations over the reals, with $m$ equations and $m$ unknowns $P_i(t)+X_i(t)=0$, $t\in\mathbb{R}^m$, $i=1,...,m$, where the $P_i$'s are non-random polynomials having degrees $d_i$'s (the "signal") and the…

In this article we study the irreducibility of polynomials of the form $x^n+\epsilon_1 x^m+p^k\epsilon_2$, $p$ being a prime number. We will show that they are irreducible for $m=1$. We have also provided the cyclotomic factors and…

We prove some sufficient conditions implying $l^p$ inequalities of the form $||x||_p \leq ||y||_p$ for vectors $ x, y \in [0,\infty)^n$ and for $p$ in certain positive real intervals. Our sufficient conditions are strictly weaker than the…

The ratio $P(S_n=x)/P(Z_n=x)$ is investigated for three cases: (a) when $S_n$ is a sum of 1-dependent non-negative integer-valued random variables (rvs), satisfying some moment conditions, and $Z_n$ is Poisson rv; (b) when $S_n$ is a…

We study the polynomial approximation of symmetric multivariate functions and of multi-set functions. Specifically, we consider $f(x_1, \dots, x_N)$, where $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$, and $f$ is invariant under permutations of its $N$…

Let m_{n} and m_{n-1} be an n mean and an n-1 mean, respectively, n\geq3. If x=(x_{1},...,x_{n}), let {\pi}_{\neqj}x=(x_{1},...,x_{j-1},x_{j+1},...,x_{n}). m_{n-1} and m_{n} are said to form a type 1 invariant pair if…

If $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/I$ is a graded artinian algebra, then the length of $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/I^s$ becomes a polynomial in $s$ of degree $n$ for large $s$. If we write this polynomial as $\sum_{i=0}^n(-1)^ie_i{s+n-i-1\choose n-i}$, then…

It is shown that the polynomial \[p(t) = \text{Tr}[(A+tB)^m]\] has positive coefficients when $m = 6$ and $A$ and $B$ are any two 3-by-3 complex Hermitian positive definite matrices. This case is the first that is not covered by prior,…

The multi-point Taylor polynomial, which is the general, unique and of minimum degree ($mk+m-1$) polynomial $P_{k,m}(x)$ which interpolates a function's derivatives in multiple points is presented in its explicit form. A proof that this…

Let $p(x_1,...,x_n) = p(X), X \in R^{n}$ be a homogeneous polynomial of degree $n$ in $n$ real variables, $e = (1,1,..,1) \in R^n$ be a vector of all ones . Such polynomial $p$ is called $e$-hyperbolic if for all real vectors $X \in R^{n}$…

We discuss the problem of classifying polynomials $p : \mathbb R^2_+ \rightarrow (0, \infty)$ for which $\frac{1}{p}=\{\frac{1}{p(m, n)}\}_{m, n \geq 0}$ is joint completely monotone, where $p$ is a linear polynomial in $y.$ We show that if…

A few matrix-vector multiplications with random vectors are often sufficient to obtain reasonably good estimates for the norm of a general matrix or the trace of a symmetric positive semi-definite matrix. Several such probabilistic…

Polynomial sequence ${P_m}_{m\geq0}$ is $q$-logarithmically concave if $P_{m}^2-P_{m+1}P_{m-1}$ is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients for any $m\geq{1}$. We introduce an analogue of this notion for formal power series whose…

Polynomials whose coefficients, roots, and critical points lie in the ring of rational integers are called nice polynomials. In this paper, we present a general method for investigating such polynomials. We extend our results from the ring…

We consider almost-primes of the form $f(p)$ where $f$ is an irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb Z$ and $p$ runs over primes. We improve a result of Richert for polynomials of degree at least $3$. In particular we show that, when the…

In this paper, we study polynomials of the form $f(x)=(x^n+x^{n-1}+...+1)^l$ for $l=1,2,3,4$ to generate a pattern titled "unique coefficient pattern". Namely, we analyze each unique coefficient patterns of $f(x)$ and generate functions…
