Root location for the characteristic polynomial of a Fibonacci type sequence

Zhibin Du, Carlos Martins da Fonseca (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We analyse the roots of the polynomial x n - p x n - 1 - q x - 1 for p q 1 . This is the characteristic polynomial of the recurrence relation F k , p , q ( n ) = p F k , p , q ( n - 1 ) + q F k , p , q ( n - k + 1 ) + F k , p , q ( n - k ) for n k , which includes the relations of several particular sequences recently defined. In the end, a matricial representation for such a recurrence relation is provided.

Polynomials with values which are powers of integers

Rachid Boumahdi, Jesse Larone (2018)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

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 ) .

We prove that for every ε > 0 and every nonnegative integer w there exist primes p 1 , . . . , p w such that for n = p 1 . . . p w the height of the cyclotomic polynomial Φ n is at least ( 1 - ε ) c w M n , where M n = i = 1 w - 2 p i 2 w - 1 - i - 1 and c w is a constant depending only on w; furthermore l i m w c w 2 - w 0 . 71 . In our construction we can have p i > h ( p 1 . . . p i - 1 ) for all i = 1,...,w and any function h: ℝ₊ → ℝ₊.

Heights of squares of Littlewood polynomials and infinite series

Artūras Dubickas (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let P be a unimodular polynomial of degree d-1. Then the height H(P²) of its square is at least √(d/2) and the product L(P²)H(P²), where L denotes the length of a polynomial, is at least d². We show that for any ε > 0 and any d ≥ d(ε) there exists a polynomial P with ±1 coefficients of degree d-1 such that H(P²) < (2+ε)√(dlogd) and L(P²)H(P²)< (16/3+ε)d²log d. A similar result is obtained for the series with ±1 coefficients. Let A m be the mth coefficient of the square f(x)² of...

On nonsingular polynomial maps of ℝ²

Nguyen Van Chau, Carlos Gutierrez (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider nonsingular polynomial maps F = (P,Q): ℝ² → ℝ² under the following regularity condition at infinity ( J ) : There does not exist a sequence ( p k , q k ) ² of complex singular points of F such that the imaginary parts ( ( p k ) , ( q k ) ) tend to (0,0), the real parts ( ( p k ) , ( q k ) ) tend to ∞ and F ( ( p k ) , ( q k ) ) ) a ² . It is shown that F is a global diffeomorphism of ℝ² if it satisfies Condition ( J ) and if, in addition, the restriction of F to every real level set P - 1 ( c ) is proper for values of |c| large enough.

Explicit bounds for the Łojasiewicz exponent in the gradient inequality for polynomials

Didier D&amp;#039;Acunto, Krzysztof Kurdyka (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let f: ℝⁿ → ℝ be a polynomial function of degree d with f(0) = 0 and ∇f(0) = 0. Łojasiewicz’s gradient inequality states that there exist C > 0 and ϱ ∈ (0,1) such that | f | C | f | ϱ in a neighbourhood of the origin. We prove that the smallest such exponent ϱ is not greater than 1 - R ( n , d ) - 1 with R ( n , d ) = d ( 3 d - 3 ) n - 1 .

Polynomials, sign patterns and Descartes' rule of signs

Vladimir Petrov Kostov (2019)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

By Descartes’ rule of signs, a real degree d polynomial P with all nonvanishing coefficients with c sign changes and p sign preservations in the sequence of its coefficients ( c + p = d ) has pos c positive and ¬ p negative roots, where pos c ( mod 2 ) and ¬ p ( mod 2 ) . For 1 d 3 , for every possible choice of the sequence of signs of coefficients of P (called sign pattern) and for every pair ( pos , neg ) satisfying these conditions there exists a polynomial P with exactly pos positive and exactly ¬ negative roots (all of them simple). For d 4 ...

For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and p ≥ 1 let κ p ( n , L ) be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≢ 0 of the form P ( x ) = j = 0 n a j x j , | a 0 | L ( j = 1 n | a j | p ) 1 / p , a j , such that ( x - 1 ) k divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and q ≥ 1 let μ q ( n , L ) be the smallest value of k for which there is a polynomial Q of degree k with complex coefficients such that | Q ( 0 ) | > 1 / L ( j = 1 n | Q ( j ) | q ) 1 / q . We find the size of κ p ( n , L ) and μ q ( n , L ) for all n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and 1 ≤ p,q ≤ ∞. The result about μ ( n , L ) is due to Coppersmith and Rivlin, but our proof is completely different and much shorter even...

Determination of a type of permutation trinomials over finite fields

Xiang-dong Hou (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let f = a x + b x q + x 2 q - 1 q [ x ] . We find explicit conditions on a and b that are necessary and sufficient for f to be a permutation polynomial of q ² . This result allows us to solve a related problem: Let g n , q p [ x ] (n ≥ 0, p = c h a r q ) be the polynomial defined by the functional equation c q ( x + c ) n = g n , q ( x q - x ) . We determine all n of the form n = q α - q β - 1 , α > β ≥ 0, for which g n , q is a permutation polynomial of q ² .

Beyond two criteria for supersingularity: coefficients of division polynomials

Christophe Debry (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let f ( x ) be a cubic, monic and separable polynomial over a field of characteristic p 3 and let E be the elliptic curve given by y 2 = f ( x ) . In this paper we prove that the coefficient at x 1 2 p ( p - 1 ) in the p –th division polynomial of E equals the coefficient at x p - 1 in f ( x ) 1 2 ( p - 1 ) . For elliptic curves over a finite field of characteristic p , the first coefficient is zero if and only if E is supersingular, which by a classical criterion of Deuring (1941) is also equivalent to the vanishing of the second coefficient. So the...

Maximum number of limit cycles for generalized Liénard polynomial differential systems

Aziza Berbache, Ahmed Bendjeddou, Sabah Benadouane (2021)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We consider limit cycles of a class of polynomial differential systems of the form x ˙ = y , y ˙ = - x - ε ( g 21 ( x ) y 2 α + 1 + f 21 ( x ) y 2 β ) - ε 2 ( g 22 ( x ) y 2 α + 1 + f 22 ( x ) y 2 β ) , where β and α are positive integers, g 2 j and f 2 j have degree m and n , respectively, for each j = 1 , 2 , and ε is a small parameter. We obtain the maximum number of limit cycles that bifurcate from the periodic orbits of the linear center x ˙ = y , y ˙ = - x using the averaging theory of first and second order.

On the r -free values of the polynomial x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k

Gongrui Chen, Wenxiao Wang (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let k be a fixed integer. We study the asymptotic formula of R ( H , r , k ) , which is the number of positive integer solutions 1 x , y , z H such that the polynomial x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k is r -free. We obtained the asymptotic formula of R ( H , r , k ) for all r 2 . Our result is new even in the case r = 2 . We proved that R ( H , 2 , k ) = c k H 3 + O ( H 9 / 4 + ε ) , where c k > 0 is a constant depending on k . This improves upon the error term O ( H 7 / 3 + ε ) obtained by G.-L. Zhou, Y. Ding (2022).

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We study the extensibility of piecewise polynomial functions defined on closed subsets of 2 to all of 2 . The compact subsets of 2 on which every piecewise polynomial function is extensible to 2 can be characterized in terms of local quasi-convexity if they are definable in an o-minimal expansion of . Even the noncompact closed definable subsets can be characterized if semialgebraic function germs at infinity are dense in the Hardy field of definable germs. We also present a piecewise...

For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and p ≥ 1 let κ p ( n , L ) be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≠ 0 of the form P ( x ) = j = 0 n a j x j , | a 0 | L ( j = 1 n | a j | p 1/p , aj ∈ ℂ , such that ( x - 1 ) k divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ and L > 0 let κ ( n , L ) be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≠ 0 of the form P ( x ) = j = 0 n a j x j , | a 0 | L m a x 1 j n | a j | , a j , such that ( x - 1 ) k divides P(x). We prove that there are absolute constants c₁ > 0 and c₂ > 0 such that c 1 ( n / L ) - 1 κ ( n , L ) c 2 ( n / L ) for every L ≥ 1. This complements an earlier result of the authors valid for every n ∈ ℕ and L ∈...

Variations on a question concerning the degrees of divisors of x n - 1

Lola Thompson (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In this paper, we examine a natural question concerning the divisors of the polynomial x n - 1 : “How often does x n - 1 have a divisor of every degree between 1 and n ?” In a previous paper, we considered the situation when x n - 1 is factored in [ x ] . In this paper, we replace [ x ] with 𝔽 p [ x ] , where p is an arbitrary-but-fixed prime. We also consider those n where this condition holds for all p .
