Asymptotic Distributions of Zeros of Quadratic Hermite–Pade Polynomials Associated with the Exponential Function

The asymptotic distributions of zeros of the quadratic Hermite--Pad\'{e} polynomials $p_{n},q_{n},r_{n}\in{\cal P}_{n}$ associated with the exponential function are studied for $n\rightarrow\infty$. The polynomials are defined by the relation $$(*)\qquad p_{n}(z)+q_{n}(z)e^{z}+r_{n}(z)e^{2z}=O(z^{3n+2})\qquad\mbox{as} \quad z\rightarrow0,$$ and they form the basis for quadratic Hermite--Pad\'{e} approximants to $e^{z}$. In order to achieve a differentiated picture of the asymptotic behavior of the zeros, the independent variable $z$ is rescaled in such a way that all zeros of the polynomials $p_{n},q_{n},r_{n}$ have finite cluster points as $n\rightarrow\infty$. The asymptotic relations, which are proved, have a precision that is high enough to distinguish the positions of individual zeros. In addition to the zeros of the polynomials $p_{n},q_{n},r_{n}$, also the zeros of the remainder term of (*) are studied. The investigations complement asymptotic results obtained in [17].     

On a topological closeness of perturbed Julia sets

In the present work we expand our previous work in [1] by introducing the Julia Deviation Distance and the Julia Deviation Plot in order to study the stability of the Julia sets of noise-perturbed Mandelbrot maps. We observe a power-law behaviour of the Julia Deviation Distance of the Julia sets of a family of additive dynamic noise Mandelbrot maps from the Julia set of the Mandelbrot map as a function of the noise level. Additionally, using the above tools, we support the invariance of the Julia set of a noise-perturbed Mandelbrot map under different noise realizations.     

Inverse limits of postcritically finite polynomials

We examine inverse limits of postcritically finite polynomials restricted to their Julia sets. We define the “trunk” of a Julia set, a forward-invariant set related to the Hubbard tree, and use it to show that the inverse limit always contains at least one indecomposable subcontinuum. We characterize when the inverse limit is indecomposable and also examine how the trunk behaves in the inverse limit.

On Polynomials Sharing Preimages of Compact Sets, and Related Questions

In this paper we give a solution of the following problem: under what conditions on infinite compact sets and polynomials f ₁, f ₂ do the preimages f ₁⁻¹{K ₁} and f ₂⁻¹{K ₂} coincide. Besides, we investigate some related questions. In particular, we show that polynomials sharing an invariant compact set distinct from a point have equal Julia sets.

On the Location of Roots of Graph Polynomials

Roots of graph polynomials such as the characteristic polynomial, the chromatic polynomial, the matching polynomial, and many others are widely studied. In this paper we examine to what extent the location of these roots reflects the graph theoretic properties of the underlying graph.     

On the iteration of holomorphic self-maps of ℂ*

Letf be a holomorphic self-map of the punctured plane ℂ^*=ℂ\{0} with essentially singular points 0 and ∞. In this note, we discuss the setsI ₀(f)={z ∈ ℂ^*:f ⁿ (z) → 0,n → ∞} andI _∞(f)={z ∈ ℂ^*:f ⁿ (z) → 0,n → ∞}. We try to find the relation betweenI ₀(f),I _∞(t) andJ(f). It is proved that both the boundary ofI ₀(f) and the boundary ofI _∞)f) equal toJ(f),I ₀(f) ∩J(f) ≠ θ andI _∞(f) ∩J(f) ≠ θ. As a consequence of these results, we find bothI ₀(f) andI _∞(f) are not doubly-bounded. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China     

A New Integral Involving the Product of Bessel Functions and Associated Laguerre Polynomials

A new result for integrals involving the product of Bessel functions and Associated Laguerre polynomials is obtained in terms of the hypergeometric function. Some special cases of the general integral lead to interesting finite and infinite series representations of hypergeometric functions.     

On the Characterization of Quadratic Splines

A quadratic spline is a differentiable piecewise quadratic function. Many problems in the numerical analysis and optimization literature can be reformulated as unconstrained minimizations of quadratic splines. However, only special cases of quadratic splines have been studied in the existing literature and algorithms have been developed on a case-by-case basis. There lacks an analytical representation of a general or even convex quadratic spline. The current paper fills this gap by providing an analytical representation of a general quadratic spline. Furthermore, for a convex quadratic spline, it is shown that the representation can be refined in the neighborhood of a nondegenerate point and a set of nondegenerate minimizers. Based on these characterizations, many existing algorithms for specific convex quadratic splines are also finitely convergent for a general convex quadratic spline. Finally, we study the relationship between the convexity of a quadratic spline function and the monotonicity of the corresponding linear complementarity problem. It is shown that, although both conditions lead to easy solvability of the problem, they are different in general.This project was initiated when the first author was visiting the Technical University of Denmark and Erasmus University. The visit was partially funded by the Danish Natural Science Research Council.

On the Right-Definite and Left-Definite Spectral Theory of the Legendre Polynomials

In this paper, we further develop the left-definite and right-definite spectral theory associated with the self-adjoint differential operator A in L²(-1,1), generated from the classical second-order Legendre differential equation, having the sequence of Legendre polynomials as eigenfunctions. Specifically, we determine the first three left-definite spaces associated with the pair (L²(-1,1),A). As a consequence of these results, we determine the explicit domain of both the associated left-definite operator A₁, first observed by Everitt, and the self-adjoint operator A^1/2. In addition, we give a new characterization of the domain D(A) of A and, as a corollary, we present a new proof of the Everitt-Mari result which gives optimal global smoothness of functions in D(A).

On the Optimum Radius of Robust Stability for Schur Polynomials

A recent paper (Ref. 1) established a new approach to estimate the robust stability radius of a Schur polynomial. This note points out that the approach given in Ref. 1 is not correct and also gives a counterexample to the main result of Ref. 1.
