On the Location of Roots of Steiner Polynomials
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the roots of relative Steiner polynomials of convex bodies. In dimension 3 we give a precise description of their location in the complex plane and we study the analogous problem in higher dimensions. In particular, we show that the roots (in the upper half plane) form a convex cone; for dimensions ≤ 9 this cone is completely contained in the (open) left half plane, which is not true in dimensions ≥ 12. Moreover, we characterize certain special families of convex bodies by means of properties of their roots.

Notes on the Roots of Steiner Polynomials
We study the location and the size of the roots of Steiner polynomials of convex bodies in the Minkowski relative geometry. Based on a problem of Teissier on the intersection numbers of Cartier divisors of compact algebraic varieties it was conjectured that these roots have certain geometric properties related to the inand circumradius of the convex body. We show that the roots of 1-tangential ...
متن کاملOn Classifications of Random Polynomials
Let $ a_0 (omega), a_1 (omega), a_2 (omega), dots, a_n (omega)$ be a sequence of independent random variables defined on a fixed probability space $(Omega, Pr, A)$. There are many known results for the expected number of real zeros of a polynomial $ a_0 (omega) psi_0(x)+ a_1 (omega)psi_1 (x)+, a_2 (omega)psi_2 (x)+...
متن کاملOn the Roots of Hosoya Polynomial of a Graph
Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph. Hosoya polynomial of G is d(u,v) H(G, x) = {u,v}V(G)x , where, d(u ,v) denotes the distance between vertices u and v. As is the case with other graph polynomials, such as chromatic, independence and domination polynomial, it is natural to study the roots of Hosoya polynomial of a graph. In this paper we study the roots of Hosoya polynomials of some specific g...
متن کاملIntrinsic Volumes and Successive Radii
Motivated by a problem of Teissier to bound the intrinsic volumes of a convex body in terms of the inradius and the circumradius of the body, we give upper and lower bounds for the intrinsic volumes of a convex body in terms of the elementary symmetric functions of the so called successive inner and outer radii. These results improve on former bounds and, in particular, they also provide bounds...
متن کاملOn Bounds For The Zeros of Univariate Polynomials
Problems on algebraical polynomials appear in many fields of mathematics and computer science. Especially the task of determining the roots of polynomials has been frequently investigated. Nonetheless, the task of locating the zeros of complex polynomials is still challenging. In this paper we deal with the location of zeros of univariate complex polynomials. We prove some novel upper bounds fo...
