Generalized Vandermonde Determinants over the Chebyshev Basis
نویسنده
چکیده
It is a well known fact that the generalized Vandermonde determinant can be expressed as the product of the standard Vandermonde determinant and a polynomial with nonnegative integer coefficients. In this paper we generalize this result to Vandermonde determinants over the Chebyshev basis. We apply this result to prove that the number of real roots in [1;1] of a real polynomial is bounded by the number of its nonvanishing coefficients (sparsity) when represented over the Chebyshev basis. This bound on the number of real roots is used to prove finiteness of the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension (and thereby uniform learnability) of the class of polynomials of bounded sparsity over the Chebyshev basis.

Vandermonde Matrices with Chebyshev Nodes
For n × n Vandermonde matrix Vn = (αi−1 j )1≤i j≤n with translated Chebyshev zero nodes, it is discovered that V T n admits an explicit QR decomposition with the R-factor consisting of the coefficients of the translated Chebyshev polynomials of degree less than n. This decomposition then leads to an exact expression for the condition number of its submatrix Vk,n = (αi−1 j )1≤i≤k,1≤j≤n (so-calle...
متن کاملTropicalization and Irreducibility of Generalized Vandermonde Determinants
We find geometric and arithmetic conditions in order to characterize the irreducibility of the determinant of the generic Vandermonde matrix over the algebraic closure of any field k. We also characterize those determinants whose tropicalization with respect to the variables of a row is irreducible.
متن کاملOn the Irreducibility of Generalized Vandermonde Determinants
We find geometric and arithmetic conditions on a finite set of integer exponents and the characteristic of a field k in order to characterize the irreducibility of the determinant of the generic Vandermonde matrix determined by these exponents in the algebraic closure of k. Tools from Tropical Geometry are then applied in order to characterize those determinants that are irreducible over any fi...
متن کاملA few remarks on “On certain Vandermonde determinants whose variables separate"
In the recent paper “On certain Vandermonde determinants whose variables separate” [Linear Algebra and its Applications 449 (2014) pp. 17–27], there was established a factorized formula for some bivariate Vandermonde determinants (associated to almost square grids) whose basis functions are formed by Hadamard products of some univariate polynomials. That formula was crucial for proving a conjec...
متن کاملVandermonde systems on Gauss-Lobatto Chebyshev nodes
This paper deals with Vandermonde matrices Vn whose nodes are the Gauss–Lobatto Chebyshev nodes, also called extrema Chebyshev nodes. We give an analytic factorization and explicit formula for the entries of their inverse, and explore its computational issues. We also give asymptotic estimates of the Frobenius norm of both Vn and its inverse and present an explicit formula for the determinant o...
