The Schur-Szegö composition for hyperbolic polynomials (Q2464256)

The Schur-Szegő composition of the polynomials \(P(x)=\sum_{j=0}^{n} C_{n}^{j}a_{j}x^{j}\) and \(Q(x)=\sum_{j=0}^{n} C_{n}^{j}b_{j}x^{j}\) is defined as \(P\ast Q=\sum_{j=0}^{n} C_{n}^{j}a_{j}b_{j}x^{j}\). The author continues the investigations of a joint paper with \textit{B. Z. Shapiro} [C. R., Math., Acad. Sci. Paris 343, 81--86 (2006; Zbl 1127.30004)] and considers the case where \(P\) and \(Q\) are hyperbolic, that is, with only real roots. For this case, he gives a detailed answer to the question if the numbers of positive, negative and zero roots of \(P\) and \(Q\) are known, what these numbers can be for \(P\ast Q\).
