چکیده
We give new sufficient conditions for a sequence of polynomials to have only real zeros based on the method of interlacing zeros. As applications we derive several well-known facts, including the reality of zeros of orthogonal polynomials, matching polynomials, Narayana polynomials and Eulerian polynomials. We also settle certain conjectures of Stahl on genus polynomials by proving them for certain classes of graphs, while showing that they are false in general.

متن کاملPolynomial Sequences with Only Real Zeros
In this paper we develop methods to provide unified approaches to the reality of zeros of polynomial sequences satisfying certain recurrence relations and then apply them to derive some known results and solve certain open problems and conjectures.
متن کاملInequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial with $S$-fold zeros at the origin
Let $p(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ and for a complex number $alpha$, let $D_{alpha}p(z)=np(z)+(alpha-z)p'(z)$ denote the polar derivative of the polynomial p(z) with respect to $alpha$. Dewan et al proved that if $p(z)$ has all its zeros in $|z| leq k, (kleq 1),$ with $s$-fold zeros at the origin then for every $alphainmathbb{C}$ with $|alpha|geq k$, begin{align*} max_{|z|=...
متن کاملThe largest non-integer real zero of chromatic polynomials of graphs with fixed order
It is easy to verify that the chromatic polynomial of a graph with order at most 4 has no non-integer real zeros, and there exists only one 5-vertex graph having a non-integer real chromatic root. This paper shows that, for 66 n6 8 and n¿ 9, the largest non-integer real zeros of chromatic polynomials of graphs with order n are n − 4 + =6 − 2= , where = ( 108 + 12 √ 93 )1=3 , and ( n− 1 +√(n− 3)...
