Hermite-Poulain theorems for linear finite difference operators

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We establish analogues of the Hermite-Poulain theorem for linear finite difference operators with constant coefficients defined on sets of polynomials with roots on a straight line, in a strip, or in a half-plane. We also consider the central finite difference operator of the form Delta_{ heta, h}(f)(z)=e^{i heta}f(z+ih)-e^{-i heta}f(z-ih), quad hetain[0,pi), hinmathbb{C}setminus{0}, where f is a polynomial or an entire function of a certain kind, and prove that the roots of Deltaheta,h(f) are simple under some conditions. Moreover, we prove that the operator Deltaheta,h does not decrease the mesh on the set of polynomials with roots on a line and find the minimal mesh. The asymptotics of the roots of Deltaheta,h(p) as |h|oinfty is found for any complex polynomial p. Some other interesting roots preserving properties of the operator Deltaheta,h are also studied, and a few examples are presented.
