The EM Algorithm applied to determining new limit points of Mahler measures
In this work, we propose a new method to find monic irreducible polynomials with integer coefficients, only real roots, and span less than 4. The main idea is to reduce the search of such polynomials to the solution of Integer Linear Programming problems. In this frame, the coefficients of the polynomials we are looking for are the integer unknowns. We give inequality constraints specified by the properties that the polynomials should have, such as the typical distribution of their roots. These...
