Kronecker's theorem and Lehmer's problem for polynomials in several variables

Mahler defined the measure of a polynomial in several variables to be the geometric mean of the modulus of the polynomial averaged over the torus. The classical theorem of Kronecker which characterizes monic polynomials with integer coefficients all of whose roots are inside the unit disk can be regarded as characterizing those polynomials of one variable whose measure is exactly 1. Here this result is generalized to polynomials in several variables. The method employed also gives easy generalizations of recent results of Schinzel and Dobrowolski on Lehmer's problem.     

Convolution integral equations involving a general class of polynomials and the multivariableH-function

In this paper we first solve a convolution integral equation involving product of the general class of polynomials and theH-function of several variables. Due to general nature of the general class of polynomials and theH-function of several variables which occur as kernels in our main convolution integral equation, we can obtain from it solutions of a large number of convolution integral equations involving products of several useful polynomials and special functions as its special cases. We record here only one such special case which involves the product of general class of polynomials and Appell's functionF ₃. We also give exact references of two results recently obtained by Srivastavaet al [10] and Rashmi Jain [3] which follow as special cases of our main result.     

A note on null subspaces of odd polynomials

Multidimensional generalization of the Korous inequality

This paper deals with some qualitative properties of orthogonal polynomials in several variables. The boundedness and relations between two sets of orthonormal polynomials associated with an arbitrary weight function and its extension are investigated. It presents an analogy to Korous' result for general orthogonal polynomials in one variable.     

Properties of some families of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in several variables

Limiting cases are studied of the Koornwinder-Macdonald multivariable generalization of the Askey-Wilson polynomials. We recover recently and not so recently introduced families of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in several variables consisting of multivariable Wilson, continuous Hahn and Jacobi type polynomials, respectively. For each class of polynomials we provide systems of difference (or differential) equations, recurrence relations, and expressions for the (squared) norms of the polynomials in question.

     

Permutable functions

Summary The power functions and the Chebyshev polynomials are examples of families of permutable functions. Recently it was shown how to generalize this idea to polynomials of several variables. In this article the restriction of being polynomials is removed. It is shown how to make a ring and then a field of permutable functions of several variables. The uniqueness problem is discussed.

Multivariate Stieltjes type theorems and location of common zeros of multivariate orthogonal polynomials

Invariant factors of bivariate orthogonal polynomials inherit most of the properties of univariate orthogonal polynomials and play an important role in the research of Stieltjes type theorems and location of common zeros of bivariate orthogonal polynomials. The aim of this paper is to extend our study of invariant factors from two variables to several variables. We obtain a multivariate Stieltjes type theorem, and the relationships among invariant factors, multivariate orthogonal polynomials and the corresponding Jacobi matrix. We also study the location of common zeros of multivariate orthogonal polynomials and provide some examples of tri-variate.     

A note on the modified q-Bernstein polynomials for functions of several variables and their reflections on q-Volkenborn integration

In this paper, we consider the modified q-Bernstein polynomials for functions of several variables on q-Volkenborn integral and investigate some new interesting properties of these polynomials related to q-Stirling numbers, Hermite polynomials and Carlitz’s type q-Bernoulli numbers.     

Amortized multi-point evaluation of multivariate polynomials

The evaluation of a polynomial at several points is called the problem of multi-point evaluation. Sometimes, the set of evaluation points is fixed and several polynomials need to be evaluated at this set of points. Several efficient algorithms for this kind of “amortized” multi-point evaluation have been developed recently for the special cases of bivariate polynomials or when the set of evaluation points is generic. In this paper, we extend these results to the evaluation of polynomials in an arbitrary number of variables at an arbitrary set of points. We prove a softly linear complexity bound when the number of variables is fixed. Our method relies on a novel quasi-reduction algorithm for multivariate polynomials, that operates simultaneously with respect to several orderings on the monomials.

A note on the Lagrange polynomials in several variables

Recently, Chan, Chyan and Srivastava [W.-C.C. Chan, C.-J. Chyan, H.M. Srivastava, The Lagrange polynomials in several variables, Integral Transform. Spec. Funct. 12 (2001) 139-148] introduced and systematically investigated the Lagrange polynomials in several variables. In the present paper, we derive various families of multilinear and multilateral generating functions for the Chan-Chyan-Srivastava multivariable polynomials.

A semiclassical perspective on multivariate orthogonal polynomials

Differential properties for orthogonal polynomials in several variables are studied. We consider multivariate orthogonal polynomials whose gradients satisfy some quasi-orthogonality conditions. We obtain several characterizations for these polynomials including the analogues of the semiclassical Pearson differential equation, the structure relation and a differential-difference equation.

We prove that the cofinite dual of the Hopf algebra of polynomials in several variables can be represented as a Hopf algebra ? of exponential polynomials that contains the polynomials as a Hopf subalgebra. We also present some algebras isomorphic to ? whose elements are rational functions or multi-sequences.

Properties of Algebraic Equations on the Set of E-Functions over the Field of Rational Functions

The paper presents several theorems on the linear and algebraic independence of the values at algebraic points of the set of E-functions related by algebraic equations over the field of rational functions, as well as some estimates of the absolute values of polynomials with integer coefficients in the values of such functions. The results are obtained by using the properties of ideals in the ring of polynomials of several variables formed by equations relating the above functions over the field of rational functions.     

Square-free criteria for polynomials using no derivatives

We provide some square-free criteria for primitive polynomials over unique factorization domains, which do not make use of derivatives or discriminants. Using some ideas of Ostrowski we establish nonvanishing conditions for determinants of matrices with polynomial entries and deduce square-free criteria for polynomials in several variables.
