Positive exponential sums and odd polynomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Given an odd integer polynomial f(x) of a degree k >=3, we construct a non-negative valued, normed trigonometric polynomial with the spectrum in the set of integer values of f(x) not greater than n, and a small free coefficient a_{0}=O((log n)^{-1/k}). This gives an alternative proof for the maximal possible cardinality of a set A, so that A-A does not contain an element of f(x). We also discuss other interpretations and an ergodic characterization of that bound.
