Polynomials with values which are powers of integers

Rachid Boumahdi, Jesse Larone (2018)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let P be a polynomial with integral coefficients. Shapiro showed that if the values of P at infinitely many blocks of consecutive integers are of the form Q ( m ) , where Q is a polynomial with integral coefficients, then P ( x ) = Q ( R ( x ) ) for some polynomial R . In this paper, we show that if the values of P at finitely many blocks of consecutive integers, each greater than a provided bound, are of the form m q where q is an integer greater than 1, then P ( x ) = ( R ( x ) ) q for some polynomial R ( x ) .

Positive characteristic analogs of closed polynomials

Piotr Jędrzejewicz (2011)

Open Mathematics

The notion of a closed polynomial over a field of zero characteristic was introduced by Nowicki and Nagata. In this paper we discuss possible ways to define an analog of this notion over fields of positive characteristic. We are mostly interested in conditions of maximality of the algebra generated by a polynomial in a respective family of rings. We also present a modification of the condition of integral closure and discuss a condition involving partial derivatives.

Positive polynomials and hyperdeterminants

Fernando Cukierman (2007)

Collectanea Mathematica

Let F be a homogeneous real polynomial of even degree in any number of variables. We consider the problem of giving explicit conditions on the coefficients so that F is positive definite or positive semi-definite. In this note we produce a necessary condition for positivity, and a sufficient condition for non-negativity, in terms of positivity or semi-positivity of a one-variable characteristic polynomial of F. Also, we revisit the known sufficient condition in terms of Hankel matrices.
