Counting and testing dominant polynomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, we concentrate on counting and testing dominant polynomials with integer coefficients. A polynomial is called dominant if it has a simple root whose modulus is strictly greater than the moduli of its remaining roots. In particular, our results imply that the probability that the dominant root assumption holds for a random monic polynomial with integer coefficients tends to 1 in some setting. However, for arbitrary integer polynomials it does not tend to 1. For instance, the proportion of dominant quadratic integer polynomials of height H among all quadratic integer polynomials tends to (41+6log2)/72 as Hoinfty. Finally, we will design some algorithms to test whether a given polynomial with integer coefficients is dominant or not without finding the polynomial roots.
