For real polynomials with (sparse) exponents in some fixed set, \[ \Psi(t)=x+y_1t^{k_1}+\ldots +y_L t^{k_L}, \] we analyse the types of root structures that might occur as the coefficients vary. We first establish a stratification of roots…
Univariate polynomial root-finding is both classical and important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the polynomial…
In a previous paper, we introduced the Collatz polynomials $P_N(z)$, whose coefficients are the terms of the Collatz sequence of the positive integer $N$. Our work in this paper expands on our previous results, using the Enestr\"om-Kakeya…
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 propose a novel efficient algorithm for calculating winding numbers, aiming at counting the number of roots of a given polynomial in a convex region on the complex plane. This algorithm can be used for counting and…
While the separation (the minimal nonzero distance) between roots of a polynomial is a classical topic, its absolute counterpart (the minimal nonzero distance between their absolute values) does not seem to have been studied much. We…
We estimate the number of zeros of a polynomial in $\mathbb{C}[z]$ within any small circular disc centered on the unit circle, which improves and comprehensively extends a result established by Borwein, Erd{\'e}lyi, and Littmann~\cite{BE1}…

A conjecture of Sendov states that if a polynomial has all its roots in the unit disk and if $\beta$ is one of those roots, then within one unit of $\beta$ lies a root of the polynomial's derivative. If we define $r(\beta)$ to be the…
This work is divided into three parts. The first part concerns polynomials in one variable with all real roots. We consider linear transformations that preserve real rootedness, as well as matrices that preserve interlacing. The second part…
In this article, we obtain upper bounds on the number of irreducible factors of some classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield some of the well known irreducibility criteria. For devising our results, we…
We devise a simple but remarkably accurate iterative routine for calculating the roots of a polynomial of any degree. We demonstrate that our results have significant improvement in accuracy over those obtained by methods used in popular…
We explore an algorithm for approximating roots of integers, discuss its motivation and derivation, and analyze its convergence rates with varying parameters and inputs. We also perform comparisons with established methods for approximating…
We prove lower bounds on the error incurred when approximating any oscillating function using piecewise polynomial spaces. The estimates are explicit in the polynomial degree and have optimal dependence on the meshwidth and frequency when…
In the present study, we propose necessary and sufficient assumptions on the coefficients in order to only get distinct real roots of polynomials.
We study a relation between roots of characteristic polynomials and intersection points of line arrangements. Using these results, we obtain a lot of applications for line arrangements. Namely, we give (i) a generalized addition theorem for…
This paper is a step in our program for proving the Piece-Birkhoff Conjecture for regular rings of any dimension (this would contain, in particular, the classical Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture which deals with polynomial rings over a real…
In this article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…
For a measure on a subset of the complex plane we consider $L^p$-optimal weighted polynomials, namely, monic polynomials of degree $n$ with a varying weight of the form $w^n = {\rm e}^{-n V}$ which minimize the $L^p$-norms, $1 \leq p \leq…
The Sendov conjecture asserts that if all the zeros of a polynomial p lie in the closed unit disk then there must be a zero of p ' within unit distance of each zero. In this paper we give a partial result when p has simple zeros.
