Point estimation and the convergence of the Ehrlich-Aberth method.
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...
The purpose of this paper is (1) to highlight some recent and heretofore unpublished results in the theory of multiplier sequences and (2) to survey some open problems in this area of research. For the sake of clarity of exposition, we have grouped the problems in three subsections, although several of the problems are interrelated. For the reader’s convenience, we have included the pertinent definitions, cited references and related results, and in several instances, elucidated the problems by...
