The classical Descartes’ rule of signs limits the number of positive roots of a real polynomial in one variable by the number of sign changes in the sequence of its coefficients. One can ask the question which pairs of nonnegative integers , chosen in accordance with this rule and with some other natural conditions, can be the pairs of numbers of positive and negative roots of a real polynomial with prescribed signs of the coefficients. The paper solves this problem for degree polynomials.
A real polynomial P of degree n in one real variable is hyperbolic if its roots are all real. A real-valued function P is called a hyperbolic polynomial-like function (HPLF) of degree n if it has n real zeros and P(n) vanishes nowhere. Denote by xk
(i) the roots of P(i), k = 1, ..., n-i, i = 0, ..., n-1. Then in the absence of any equality of the form

By Descartes’ rule of signs, a real degree polynomial with all nonvanishing coefficients with sign changes and sign preservations in the sequence of its coefficients () has positive and negative roots, where and . For , for every possible choice of the sequence of signs of coefficients of (called sign pattern) and for every pair satisfying these conditions there exists a polynomial with exactly positive and exactly negative roots (all of them simple). For this is not...

We prove that all arrangements (consistent with the Rolle theorem and some other natural restrictions) of the real roots of a real polynomial and of its s-th derivative are realized by real polynomials.

A real polynomial of one real variable is hyperbolic (resp.
strictly hyperbolic) if it has only real roots (resp. if its roots are real and
distinct). We prove that there are 116 possible non-degenerate configurations
between the roots of a degree 5 strictly hyperbolic polynomial and
of its derivatives (i.e. configurations without equalities between roots).
The standard Rolle theorem allows 286 such configurations. To obtain
the...

Consider the Deligne-Simpson problem: give necessary and
sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes Cj ⊂ GL(n,C)
(resp. cj ⊂ gl(n,C)) so that there exist irreducible (p+1)-tuples of matrices
Mj ∈ Cj (resp. Aj ∈ cj) satisfying the equality M1 . . .Mp+1 = I (resp.
A1+. . .+Ap+1 = 0). The matrices Mj and Aj are interpreted as monodromy
operators and as matrices-residua of fuchsian systems on Riemann’s sphere.
We give...

We consider the polynomial Pn = x^n + a1 x^(n−1) + · · · + an ,
ai ∈ R. We represent by figures the projections on Oa1 . . . ak , k ≤ 6, of its
hyperbolicity domain Π = {a ∈ Rn | all roots of Pn are real}. The set Π
and its projections Πk in the spaces Oa1 . . . ak , k ≤ n, have the structure of
stratified manifolds, the strata being defined by the multiplicity vectors. It
is known that for k > 2 every non-empty fibre of the projection...

We show that for n = 4 they are realizable either
by hyperbolic polynomials of degree 4 or by non-hyperbolic polynomials of
degree 6 whose fourth derivatives never vanish (these are a particular case
of the so-called hyperbolic polynomial-like functions of degree 4).

We consider the variety of (p + 1)-tuples of matrices Aj (resp.
Mj ) from given conjugacy classes cj ⊂ gl(n, C) (resp. Cj ⊂ GL(n, C))
such that A1 + . . . + A[p+1] = 0 (resp. M1 . . . M[p+1] = I). This variety is
connected with the weak Deligne-Simpson problem: give necessary and sufficient
conditions on the choice of the conjugacy classes cj ⊂ gl(n, C) (resp.
Cj ⊂ GL(n, C)) so that there exist (p + 1)-tuples with trivial centralizers...

We consider real polynomials in one variable without root at 0 and without multiple roots. Given the numbers of the positive, negative and complex roots of two such polynomials, what can be these numbers for their composition of Schur-Szegö? We give the exhaustive answer to the question for degree 2, 3 and 4 polynomials and also in the case when the degree is arbitrary, the composed polynomials being with all roots real, and one of the...

In the present paper we consider degree 6 hyperbolic polynomials (HPs) in one variable (i.e. real and with all roots real). We are interested in such HPs whose number of equalities between roots of the polynomial and/or its derivatives is higher than expected. We give the complete study of the four families of such degree 6 even HPs and also of HPs which are primitives of degree 5 HPs.
