Products of polynomials and a priori estimates for coefficients in polynomial decompositions: A sharp result (Q1198240): Difference between revisions

The author introduces a weighted, submultiplicative \(\ell_ 2\) norm \([\cdot]_ 2\) on the space of polynomials in one variable. He shows that \([Q]_ 2[R]_ 2/[QR]_ 2\) is bounded by \(\sqrt{(m+n)!/m!n!}\) for any polynomials \(Q\) and \(R\) in one variable of degrees \(m\) and \(n\) respectively. Using this result, he gives a priori estimate for the size of the coefficients in any factor of a polynomial with integer coefficients.
