Abstract

We consider real univariate degree d real-rooted polynomials with non-vanishing coefficients. Descartes’ rule of signs implies that such a polynomial has ˜c positive and ˜p negative roots counted with multiplicity, where ˜c and ˜p are the numbers of sign changes and sign preservations in the sequence of its coefficients, ˜c + ˜p = d. For d = 6, we give the exhaustive answer to the question: When the moduli of all 6 roots are distinct and arranged on the real positive half-axis, in which positions can the moduli of the negative roots be depending on the signs of the coefficients?

Keywords

real polynomial in one variable; hyperbolic polynomial; sign pattern; Descartes’ rule of signs
