We will determine the number of powers ofαthat appear with nonzero coefficient in anα-power linear differential resolvent of smallest possible order of a univariate polynomialP(t)whose coefficients lie in an ordinary differential field and whose distinct roots are differentially independent over constants. We will then give an upper bound on the weight of anα-resolvent of smallest possible weight. We will then compute the indicial equation, apparent singularities, and Wronskian of the Cockleα-resolvent of a trinomial and finish with a related determinantal formula.

AbstractA homogeneous real polynomial p is hyperbolic with respect to a given vector d if the univariate polynomial t ⟼ p(x − td) has all real roots for all vectors x. Motivated by partial differential equations, Gårding proved in 1951 that the largest such root is a convex function of x, and showed various ways of constructing new hyperbolic polynomials. We present a powerful new such construction, and use it to generalize Gårding’s result to arbitrary symmetric functions of the roots. Many classical and recent inequalities follow easily. We develop various convex-analytic tools for such symmetric functions, of interest in interior-point methods for optimization problems over related cones.

Abstract This paper presents closed-form polynomial solutions to the displacement analysis problem of planar 10-link mechanisms with 1 degree-of-freedom (DOF). Using the successive elimination procedure presented herein, the input-output (I/O) polynomials as well as the number of assembly configurations for five mechanisms resulting from two 10-link kinematic chains are presented. It is shown that the displacement analysis problems for all five mechanisms can be reduced to a univariate polynomial devoid of any extraneous roots. This univariate polynomial corresponds to the I/O polynomial of the mechanism. In addition, one of the examples also illustrates how trigonometric manipulations in conjunction with tangent half-angle substitutions can lead to non-trivial extraneous roots in the solution process. Theoretical conditions for identifying and eliminating these extraneous roots are also presented.
