The expected number of real zeros of the polynomial of the form , where is a sequence of standard Gaussian random variables, is known. For large it is shown that this expected number in is asymptotic to . In this paper, we show that this asymptotic value increases significantly to when we consider a polynomial in the form instead. We give the motivation for our choice of polynomial and also obtain some other characteristics for the polynomial, such as the expected number of level crossings or maxima. We note, and present, a small modification to the definition of our polynomial which improves our result from the above asymptotic relation to the equality.

We have proved here that the expected number of real zeros of a random hyperbolic polynomial of the formy=Pnt=n1a1cosh⁡t+n2a2cosh⁡2t+⋯+nnancosh⁡nt, wherea1,…,anis a sequence of standard Gaussian random variables, isn/2+op(1). It is shown that the asymptotic value of expected number of times the polynomial crosses the levely=Kis alson/2as long asKdoes not exceed2neμ(n), whereμ(n)=o(n). The number of oscillations ofPn(t)abouty=Kwill be less thann/2asymptotically only ifK=2neμ(n), whereμ(n)=O(n)orn-1μ(n)→∞. In the former case the number of oscillations continues to be a fraction ofnand decreases with the increase in value ofμ(n). In the latter case, the number of oscillations reduces toop(n)and almost no trace of the curve is expected to be present above the levely=Kifμ(n)/(nlogn)→∞.

AbstractWe consider a random algebraic polynomial of the form Pn,θ,α(t)=θ0ξ0+θ1ξ1t+⋯+θnξntn, where ξk, k=0,1,2,…,n have identical symmetric stable distribution with index α, 0<α≤2. First, for a general form of θk,α≡θk we derive the expected number of real zeros of Pn,θ,α(t). We then show that our results can be used for special choices of θk. In particular, we obtain the above expected number of zeros when $\theta _k={n\choose k}^{1/2}$. The latter generate a polynomial with binomial elements which has recently been of significant interest and has previously been studied only for Gaussian distributed coefficients. We see the effect of α on increasing the expected number of zeros compared with the special case of Gaussian coefficients.

This paper provides an asymptotic estimate for the expected number of real zeros of a random algebraic polynomiala0+a1x+a2x2+⋯+an−1xn−1. The coefficientsaj(j=0,1,2,…,n−1)are assumed to be independent normal random variables with nonidentical means. Previous results are mainly for identically distributed coefficients. Our result remains valid when the means of the coefficients are divided into many groups of equal sizes. We show that the behaviour of the random polynomial is dictated by the mean of the first group of the coefficients in the interval(−1,1)and the mean of the last group in(−∞,−1)∪(1,∞).

The expected number of real zeros of an algebraic polynomial with random coefficient is known. The distribution of the coefficients is often assumed to be identical albeit allowed to have different classes of distributions. For the nonidentical case, there has been much interest where the variance of the th coefficient is . It is shown that this class of polynomials has significantly more zeros than the classical algebraic polynomials with identical coefficients. However, in the case of nonidentically distributed coefficients it is analytically necessary to assume that the means of coefficients are zero. In this work we study a case when the moments of the coefficients have both binomial and geometric progression elements. That is we assume and . We show how the above expected number of real zeros is dependent on values of and in various cases.

This paper provides an asymptotic estimate for the expected number of real zeros of a random algebraic polynomial a0+a1x+a2x2+…+an−1xn−1. The coefficients aj(j=0,1,2,…,n−1) are assumed to be independent normal random variables with mean zero. For integers m and k=O(log⁡n)2 the variances of the coefficients are assumed to have nonidentical value var⁡(aj)=(k−1j−ik), where n=k⋅m and i=0,1,2,…,m−1. Previous results are mainly for identically distributed coefficients or when var⁡(aj)=(nj). We show that the latter is a special case of our general theorem.

There are many known asymptotic estimates for the expected number of real zeros of an algebraic polynomial a0+a1x+a2x2+⋯+an−1xn−1 with identically distributed random coefficients. Under different assumptions for the distribution of the coefficients {aj}j=0n−1 it is shown that the above expected number is asymptotic to O(logn). This order for the expected number of zeros remains valid for the case when the coefficients are grouped into two, each group with a different variance. However, it was recently shown that if the coefficients are non-identically distributed such that the variance of the jth term is (nj) the expected number of zeros of the polynomial increases to O(n). The present paper provides the value for this asymptotic formula for the polynomials with the latter variances when they are grouped into three with different patterns for their variances.

For random coefficientsajandbjwe consider a random trigonometric polynomial defined asTn(θ)=∑j=0n{ajcos⁡jθ+bjsin⁡jθ}. The expected number of real zeros ofTn(θ)in the interval(0,2π)can be easily obtained. In this note we show that this number is in factn/3. However the variance of the above number is not known. This note presents a method which leads to the asymptotic value for the covariance of the number of real zeros of the above polynomial in intervals(0,π)and(π,2π). It can be seen that our method in fact remains valid to obtain the result for any two disjoint intervals. The applicability of our method to the classical random trigonometric polynomial, defined asPn(θ)=∑j=0naj(ω)cos⁡jθ, is also discussed.Tn(θ)has the advantage onPn(θ)of being stationary, with respect toθ, for which, therefore, a more advanced method developed could be used to yield the results.

This paper provides an asymptotic value for the mathematical expected number of points of inflections of a random polynomial of the form a0(ω)+a1(ω)(n1)1/2x+a2(ω)(n2)1/2x2+…an(ω)(nn)1/2xn when n is large. The coefficients {aj(w)}j=0n, w∈Ω are assumed to be a sequence of independent normally distributed random variables with means zero and variance one, each defined on a fixed probability space (A,Ω,Pr). A special case of dependent coefficients is also studied.
