Schur's Theorem on the Stability of Networks

Christoph Schwarzweller, Agnieszka Rowińska-Schwarzweller (2006)

Formalized Mathematics

A complex polynomial is called a Hurwitz polynomial if all its roots have a real part smaller than zero. This kind of polynomial plays an all-dominant role in stability checks of electrical networks.In this article we prove Schur's criterion [17] that allows to decide whether a polynomial p(x) is Hurwitz without explicitly computing its roots: Schur's recursive algorithm successively constructs polynomials pi(x) of lesser degree by division with x - c, ℜ {c} < 0, such that pi(x) is Hurwitz if...

Smale's Conjecture on Mean Values of Polynomials and Electrostatics

Dimitrov, Dimitar (2007)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 30C10, 30C15, 31B35.A challenging conjecture of Stephen Smale on geometry of polynomials is under discussion. We consider an interpretation which turns out to be an interesting problem on equilibrium of an electrostatic field that obeys the law of the logarithmic potential. This interplay allows us to study the quantities that appear in Smale’s conjecture for polynomials whose zeros belong to certain specific regions. A conjecture concerning the electrostatic equilibrium...

Starlikeness of polynomials and finite Blaschke products

Alan Gluchoff, Frederick Hartmann (2008)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The radius of starlikeness for polynomial mappings and finite Blaschke products with zeroes distributed at equal angles around a circle centered at the origin, as well as with zeroes concentrated at a single point, are considered, and sharp bounds are obtained. Results expressing the radius of starlikeness of an arbitrary polynomial or Blaschke product in terms of the magnitudes of the zeroes are also given. These are also sharp.
