Expected number of real zeros for random orthogonal polynomials

Expected Number of Real Zeros for Random Linear Combinations of Orthogonal Polynomials

We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials. It is well known that Kac polynomials, spanned by monomials with i.i.d. Gaussian coefficients, have only (2/π + o(1)) logn expected real zeros in terms of the degree n. On the other hand, if the basis is given by Legendre (or more generally by Jacobi) polynomials, then random linear combinations...

Expected Discrepancy for Zeros of Random Polynomials

We study asymptotic clustering of zeros of random polynomials, and show that the expected discrepancy of roots of a polynomial of degree n, with not necessarily independent coefficients, decays like √ logn/n. Our proofs rely on discrepancy results for deterministic polynomials, and order statistics of a random variable. We also consider the expected number of zeros lying in certain subsets of t...

Expected Discrepancy for Zeros of Random Algebraic Polynomials

We study asymptotic clustering of zeros of random polynomials, and show that the expected discrepancy of roots of a polynomial of degree n, with not necessarily independent coefficients, decays like √ logn/n. Our proofs rely on discrepancy results for deterministic polynomials, and order statistics of a random variable. We also consider the expected number of zeros lying in certain subsets of t...

Let pnðxÞ be the orthonormal polynomials associated to a measure dm of compact support in R: If EesuppðdmÞ; we show there is a d40 so that for all n; either pn or pnþ1 has no zeros in ðE d;E þ dÞ: If E is an isolated point of suppðmÞ; we show there is a d so that for all n; either pn or pnþ1 has at most one zero in ðE d;E þ dÞ:We provide an example where the zeros of pn are dense in a gap of su...
