Let $f$ be a homogeneous polynomial over a field. For many fields, including number fields and function fields, we prove that the strength of $f$ is bounded above by a constant multiple of the Birch rank of $f.$ The constant depends only on…

In a recent paper (Cucker, Krick, Malajovich and Wschebor, A Numerical Algorithm for Zero Counting. I: Complexity and accuracy, J. Compl.,24:582-605, 2008) we analyzed a numerical algorithm for computing the number of real zeros of a…

Evaluating or finding the roots of a polynomial $f(z) = f_0 + \cdots + f_d z^d$ with floating-point number coefficients is a ubiquitous problem. By using a piecewise approximation of $f$ obtained with a careful use of the Newton polygon of…

Given a nonempty set $A \subset \mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}$, define the mask polynomial $A(X)=\sum_{a\in A} X^a$. Suppose that there are $s_1,\dots,s_k\in\nn\setminus\{1\}$ such that the cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_{s_1},\dots,\Phi_{s_k}$ divide…

We show that there exist absolute constants $\Delta > \delta > 0$ such that, for all $n \geqslant 2$, there exists a polynomial $P$ of degree $n$, with $\pm 1$ coefficients, such that $$\delta\sqrt{n} \leqslant |P(z)| \leqslant…

We use Hodge theory to relate poles of the Archimedean zeta function $Z_f$ of a holomorphic function $f$ with several invariants of singularities. First, we prove that the largest nontrivial pole of $Z_f$ is the negative of the minimal…

We study the problem of minimizing the supremum norm, on a segment of the real line or on a compact set in the plane, by polynomials with integer coefficients. The extremal polynomials are naturally called integer Chebyshev polynomials.…

A polynomial $p\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ is a divisor of some polynomial $0\neq f\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ with non-negative coefficients if and only if $p$ does not have a positive real root. The lowest possible degree of such $f$ for a given $p$ is known…

We present a new procedure to count the number of real zeros of a class of univariate Pfaffian functions of order $1$. The procedure is based on the construction of Sturm sequences for these functions and relies on an oracle for sign…

Assuming an integral quadratic polynomial with nonsingular quadratic part has a nontrivial zero on an integer lattice outside of a union of finite-index sublattices, we prove that there exists such a zero of bounded norm and provide an…

We determine the density of monic integer polynomials of given degree $n>1$ that have squarefree discriminant; in particular, we prove for the first time that the lower density of such polynomials is positive. Similarly, we prove that the…

We investigate the structure of polynomials of degree four in many variables over a fixed prime field $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_{p}$. In 2007, Green and Tao proved that if a polynomial $f:\mathbb{F}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{F}$ is poorly…

Given an odd integer polynomial f(x) of a degree k >=3, we construct a non-negative valued, normed trigonometric polynomial with the spectrum in the set of integer values of f(x) not greater than n, and a small free coefficient…

In this paper, we give results that partially prove a conjecture which was discussed in our previous work (arXiv:1307.4991). More precisely, we prove that as $n\to \infty,$ the zeros of the polynomial$${}_{2}\text{F}_{1}\left[…

A celebrated theorem of Shoda states that over any field K (of characteristic 0), every matrix with trace 0 can be expressed as a commutator AB-BA, or, equivalently, that the set of values of the polynomial f(x,y)=xy-yx on the nxn-matrix…

Recent work of Borwein, Choi, and the second author examined a collection of polynomials closely related to the Goldbach conjecture: the polynomial $F_N$ is divisible by the $N$th cyclotomic polynomial if and only if there is no…

Given $H\subseteq \mathbb{C}$ two natural objects to study are the set of zeros of polynomials with coefficients in $H$, $$\{z\in \mathbb{C}: \exists k>0,\, \exists (a_n)\in H^{k+1}, \sum_{n=0}^{k}a_{n}z^n=0\},$$ and the set of zeros of…

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…

We completely characterize sections of the cones of nonnegative polynomials, convex polynomials and sums of squares with polynomials supported on circuits, a genuine class of sparse polynomials. In particular, nonnegativity is characterized…

Let \begin{equation*} A_{q}^{(\alpha)}(a;z) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(a;q)_{k} q^{\alpha k^2} z^k} {(q;q)_{k}}, \end{equation*} where $\alpha >0,~0<q<1.$ In a paper of Ruiming Zhang, he asked under what conditions the zeros of the entire…
