On Zeros of Reciprocal Polynomials of Odd Degree

چکیده
The first author [1] proved that all zeros of the reciprocal polynomial Pm(z) = m ∑ k=0 Akz k (z ∈ C), of degree m ≥ 2 with real coefficients Ak ∈ R (i.e. Am 6= 0 and Ak = Am−k for all k = 0, . . . , [ m 2 ] ) are on the unit circle, provided that |Am| ≥ m ∑ k=0 |Ak −Am| = m−1 ∑ k=1 |Ak −Am|. Moreover, the zeros of Pm are near to the m + 1st roots of unity (except the root 1). A. Schinzel [3] generalized the first part of Lakatos’ result for self–inversive polynomials i.e. polynomials Pm(z) = m ∑ k=0 Akz k for which Ak ∈ C, Am 6= 0 and Āk = Am−k for all k = 0, . . . ,m with a fixed ∈ C, | | = 1. He proved that all zeros of Pm are on the unit circle, provided that |Am| ≥ inf c,d∈C, |d|=1 m ∑ k=0 |cAk − dAm|. If the inequality is strict the zeros are single. The aim of this paper is to show that for real reciprocal polynomials of odd degree Lakatos’ result remains valid even if |Am| ≥ cos π 2(m+ 1) m−1 ∑ k=1 |Ak −Am|. We conjecture that Schinzel’s result can also be extended similarly: all zeros of Pm are on the unit circle if Pm is self-inversive and |Am| ≥ cos π 2(m+ 1) inf c,d∈C, |d|=1 m ∑

Some compact generalization of inequalities for polynomials with prescribed zeros
Let $p(z)=z^s h(z)$ where $h(z)$ is a polynomial of degree at most $n-s$ having all its zeros in $|z|geq k$ or in $|z|leq k$. In this paper we obtain some new results about the dependence of $|p(Rz)|$ on $|p(rz)| $ for $r^2leq rRleq k^2$, $k^2 leq rRleq R^2$ and for $Rleq r leq k$. Our results refine and generalize certain well-known polynomial inequalities.
متن کاملLimits of Zeros of Polynomial Sequences
In the present paper we consider Fk(x) = x k − ∑ k−1 t=0 x, the characteristic polynomial of the k-th order Fibonacci sequence, the latter denoted G(k, l). We determine the limits of the real roots of certain odd and even degree polynomials related to the derivatives and integrals of Fk(x), that form infinite sequences of polynomials, of increasing degree. In particular, as k → ∞, the limiting ...
متن کاملOn the Hansen-Mullen conjecture for self-reciprocal irreducible polynomials
Let q be a power of an odd prime and let k, n ∈ N such that 1 < k ≤ n. We investigate the existence of self-reciprocal irreducible monic polynomials over Fq, of degree 2n and their k-th coefficient prescribed.
متن کاملThe Mahler Measure of Polynomials with Odd Coefficients
The minimum value of the Mahler measure of a nonreciprocal polynomial whose coefficients are all odd integers is proved here to be the golden ratio. The smallest measures of reciprocal polynomials with ±1 coefficients and degree at most 72 are also determined.
متن کاملThe distribution of Mahler's measures of reciprocal polynomials
We study the distribution of Mahler’s measures of reciprocal polynomials with complex coefficients and bounded even degree. We discover that the distribution function associated to Mahler’s measure restricted to monic reciprocal polynomials is a reciprocal (or anti-reciprocal) Laurent polynomial on [1,∞) and identically zero on [0, 1). Moreover, the coefficients of this Laurent polynomial are r...
