Abstract: | The results of this paper concern the expected norm of random polynomials on the boundary of the unit disc (equivalently of random trigonometric polynomials on the interval ). Specifically, for a random polynomial
let
Assume the random variables , are independent and identically distributed, have mean 0, variance equal to 1 and, if , a finite moment . Then
and
as . In particular if the polynomials in question have coefficients in the set (a much studied class of polynomials), then we can compute the expected norms of the polynomials and their derivatives
and This complements results of Fielding in the case, Newman and Byrnes in the case, and Littlewood et al. in the case. |
