Hyperbolic polynomials have been of recent interest due to applications in a wide variety of fields. We seek to better understand these polynomials in the case when they are symmetric, i.e. invariant under all permutations of variables. We…
We study sets of univariate hyperbolic polynomials that share the same first few coefficients and show that they have a natural combinatorial description akin to that of polytopes. We define a stratification of such sets in terms of root…
We consider real monic {\em hyperbolic} polynomials in one real variable, i.e. polynomials having only real roots. Call {\em hyperbolicity domain} $\Pi$ of the family of polynomials $P(x,a)=x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+... +a_n$, $a_i,x\in {\bf R}$, the…
Hyperbolic polynomials are real multivariate polynomials with only real roots along a fixed pencil of lines. Testing whether a given polynomial is hyperbolic is a difficult task in general. We examine different ways of translating…
Hyperbolic polynomials are real polynomials whose real hypersurfaces are nested ovaloids, the inner most of which is convex. These polynomials appear in many areas of mathematics, including optimization, combinatorics and differential…
A hyperbolic polynomial (HP) is a real univariate polynomial with all roots real. By Descartes' rule of signs a HP with all coefficients nonvanishing has exactly $c$ positive and exactly $p$ negative roots counted with multiplicity, where…
The roots of a smooth curve of hyperbolic polynomials may not in general be parameterized smoothly, even not $C^{1,\alpha}$ for any $\alpha > 0$. A sufficient condition for the existence of a smooth parameterization is that no two of the…
We call a smooth function of one variable a degree n pseudopolynomial if its n-th derivative has no (real) zeros. An n pseudopolynomial is called hyperbolic if it has exactly n simple zeros. In this short note we describe the necessary and…
A real univariate polynomial is hyperbolic if all its roots are real. By Descartes' rule of signs a hyperbolic polynomial (HP) with all coefficients nonvanishing has exactly $c$ positive and exactly $p$ negative roots counted with…
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 $X \in R^{n}$…
A hyperbolic polygon is defined to be cyclic, horocyclic, or equidistant if its vertices lie on a metric circle, horocycle, or a component of the equidistant locus to a hyperbolic geodesic, respectively. Convex such $n$-gons are…
Viewing a bivariate polynomial f in R[x,t] as a family of univariate polynomials in t parametrized by real numbers x, we call f real rooted if this family consists of monic polynomials with only real roots. If f is the characteristic…
We prove that the hyperbolicity cones of elementary symmetric polynomials are spectrahedral, i.e., they are slices of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices. The proof uses the matrix--tree theorem, an idea already present in Choe et…
We study a natural stratification of certain affine slices of univariate hyperbolic polynomials. We look into which posets of strata can be realized and show that the dual of the poset of strata is a shellable simplicial complex and in…
We give explicit polynomial-sized (in $n$ and $k$) semidefinite representations of the hyperbolicity cones associated with the elementary symmetric polynomials of degree $k$ in $n$ variables. These convex cones form a family of…
For certain polynomials we relate the number of roots inside the unit circle with the index of a non-degenerate isolated umbilic point on a real analytic surface in Euclidean 3-space. In particular, for $N>0$ we prove that for a certain…
A real univariate polynomial with all roots real is called hyperbolic. By Descartes' rule of signs for hyperbolic polynomials (HPs) with all coefficients nonvanishing, a HP with $c$ sign changes and $p$ sign preservations in the sequence of…
We introduce a new problem on the elementary symmetric polynomials $\sigma_k$, stemming from the constraint equations of some modified gravity theory. For which coefficients is a linear combination of $\sigma_k$ $1/p$-concave, with $0 \leq…
We study mild solutions of a class of stochastic partial differential equations, involving operators with polynomially bounded coefficients. We consider semilinear equations under suitable hyperbolicity hypotheses on the linear part. We…
Let $R$ be a real closed field. We consider basic semi-algebraic sets defined by $n$-variate equations/inequalities of $s$ symmetric polynomials and an equivariant family of polynomials, all of them of degree bounded by $2d < n$. Such a…
