We consider the notions of (i) critical points, (ii) second-order points, (iii) local minima, and (iv) strict local minima for multivariate polynomials. For each type of point, and as a function of the degree of the polynomial, we study the…

The purpose of this note is to give an affirmative answer to a conjecture appearing in [Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 26 (2015) 90-95].

This paper studies the saddle point problem of polynomials. We give an algorithm for computing saddle points. It is based on solving Lasserre's hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations. Under some genericity assumptions on defining…

We give the classification, up to homeomorphisms, of reduced complex polynomials with 2 variables with one critical value.

Let f be a real or complex polynomial. We give an algorithm to compute the set of generalized critical values. The algorithm uses a finite dimensional space of rational arcs along which we can reach all generalized critical values of f.

Let $\Sigma(f)$ be critical points of a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{K}[x,y]$ in the plane $\mathbb{K}^2$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. Our goal is to study the critical point map $\mathfrak{S}_d$, by sending polynomials…

Let $p_n$ be a random, degree $n$ polynomial whose roots are chosen independently according to the probability measure $\mu$ on the complex plane. For a deterministic point $\xi$ lying outside the support of $\mu$, we show that almost…

In this paper, making use of Theorem 2 of [5], we establish a new four critical points theorem which can be regarded as a companion to Theorem 1 of [4]. We also present an application to the Dirichlet problem for a class of quasilinear…

This survey paper discusses five equivalent ways of defining a ``critical point at infinity'' for a complex polynomial of two variables.

We define a class of multivariate Laurent polynomials closely related to Chebyshev polynomials, and prove the simple but somewhat surprising (in view of the fact that the signs of the coefficients of the Chebyshev polynomials themselves…

Let S(n) be the set of all polynomials of degree n with all roots in the unit disk, and define d(P) to be the maximum of the distances from each of the roots of a polynomial P to that root's nearest critical point. In this notation,…

This paper proves that if points $Z_1,Z_2,...$ are chosen independently and identically using some measure $\mu$ from the unit circle in the complex plane, with $p_n(z) = (z-Z_1)(z-Z_2)...(z-Z_n)$, then the empirical distribution of the…

In this paper we obtain some statements concerning ideals of polynomials and apply these results in a number of different situations. Among other results, we present new characterizations of $\mathcal{L}_{\infty}$-spaces, Coincidence…

We establish the independence of multipliers for polynomial endomorphisms of $\mathbb C^n$ and endomorphisms of $\mathbb P^n.$ This allows us to extend results about the bifurcation measure and the critical height obtained in…

The behavior under iteration of the critical points of polynomial maps plays an essential role in understanding its dynamics. We study the special case where the forward orbits of the critical points are finite. Thurston's theorem tells us…

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…

Consider a random polynomial $Q_n$ of degree $n+1$ whose zeroes are i.i.d. random variables $\xi_0,\xi_1,\ldots,\xi_n$ in the complex plane. We study the pairing between the zeroes of $Q_n$ and its critical points, i.e. the zeroes of its…

We prove that for almost square tensor product grids and certain sets of bivariate polynomials the Vandermonde determinant can be factored into a product of univariate Vandermonde determinants. This result generalizes the conjecture [Lemma…

In this paper I prove a conjecture which gives a lower bound for the largest absolute value of the coefficients of the n-th cyclotomic polynomial for some n. Moreover this estimate is essentially sharp.

We present a new approach for estimating the set of bifurcation values at infinity. This yields a significant shrinking of the number of coefficients in the recent algorithm introduced by Jelonek and Kurdyka for reaching critical values at…
