We prove Pólya’s conjecture of 1943: For a real entire function of order greater than 2 with finitely many non-real zeros, the number of non-real zeros of the n-th derivative tends to infinity as n → ∞ . We use the saddle point method and potential theory, combined with the theory of analytic functions with positive imaginary part in the upper half-plane.

We study the average number of intersecting points of a given curve with random hyperplanes in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. As noticed by A. Edelman and E. Kostlan this problem is closely linked to nding the average number of real zeros of random polynomials. They show that a real polynomial of degree n has in average 2 log n + O(1) real zeros (M. Kac's theorem). This result leads us to th...

In this paper, we investigate the properties of Ramanujan polynomials, a family of reciprocal polynomials with real coefficients originating from Ramanujan’s work. We begin by finding their number of real zeros, establishing a bound on their sizes, and determining their limiting values. Next, we prove that all nonreal zeros of Ramanujan polynomials lie on the unit circle, and are asymptotically...

This paper studies the Schrödinger operator with Morse potential Vk(u) = 1 4e 2u + keu on a right half-line [u0,∞), and determines the Weyl asymptotics of eigenvalues for constant boundary conditions at the endpoint u0. In consequence it obtains information on the location of zeros of the Whittaker function Wκ,μ(x), for fixed real parameters κ, x with x > 0, viewed as an entire function in the ...
