This paper provides the asymptotic estimate for the expected number of real zeros of a random hyperbolic polynomialg1coshx+2g2cosh2x+…+ngncoshnxwheregj,(j=1,2,…,n)are independent normally distributed random variables with mean zero and variance one. It is shown that for sufficiently largenthis asymptotic value is(1/π)logn.

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)→∞.

This paper provides asymptotic estimates for the expected number of real zeros of two different forms of random trigonometric polynomials, where the coefficients of polynomials are normally distributed random variables with different means and variances. For the polynomials in the form of and we give a closed form for the above expected value. With some mild assumptions on the coefficients we allow the means and variances of the coefficients to differ from each others. A case of reciprocal random polynomials for both above cases is studied.

Let T0∗(x),T1∗(x),…,Tn∗(x) be a sequence of normalized Legendre polynomials orthogonal with respect to the interval (−1,1). The asymptotic estimate of the expected number of real zeros of the random polynomial g0T0∗(x)+g1T1∗(x)+…+gnTn∗(x) where gj, j=1,2,…,n are independent identically and normally distributed random variables is known. In this paper, we first present the asymptotic value for the above expected number when coefficients are dependent random variables. Further, for the case of independent coefficients, we define the expected number of zero up-crossings with slope greater than u or zero down-crossings with slope less than −u. Promoted by the graphical interpretation, we define these crossings as u-sharp. For the above polynomial, we provide the expected number of such crossings.

Let T0∗(x),T1∗(x),…,Tn∗(x) be a sequence of normalized Legendre polynomials orthogonal with respect to the interval (−1,1). The asymptotic estimate of the expected number of real zeros of the random polynomial g0T0∗(x)+g1T1∗(x)+…+gnTn∗(x) where gj, j=1,2,…,n are independent identically and normally distributed random variables with mean zero and variance one is known. The present paper considers the case when the means and variances of the coefficients are not all necessarily equal. It is shown that in general this expected number of real zeros is only dependent on variances and is independent of the means.

In this paper, we show that the asymptotic estimate for the expected number ofK-level crossings of a random hyperbolic polynomiala1sinhx+a2sinh2x+⋯+ansinhnx, whereaj(j=1,2,…,n)are independent normally distributed random variables with mean zero and variance one, is(1/π)logn. This result is true for allKindependent ofx, providedK≡Kn=O(n). It is also shown that the asymptotic estimate of the expected number of turning points for the random polynomiala1coshx+a2cosh2x+⋯+ancoshnx, withaj(j=1,2,…,n)as before, is also(1/π)logn.

Consider the random hyperbolic polynomial,f(x)=1pa1coshx+⋯+np×ancoshnx, in whichnandpare integers such thatn≥2,   p≥0, and the coefficientsak(k=1,2,…,n)are independent, standard normally distributed random variables. Ifνnpis the mean number of real zeros off(x), then we prove thatνnp=π−1 logn+O{(logn)1/2}.

The asymptotic estimate of the expected number of real zeros of the polynomial T(θ)=g1cosθ+g2cos2θ+…+gncosnθ where gj(j=1,2,…,n) is a sequence of independent normally distributed random variables is known. The present paper provides an upper estimate for the variance of such a number. To achieve this result we first present a general formula for the covariance of the number of real zeros of any normal process, ξ(t), occurring in any two disjoint intervals. A formula for the variance of the number of real zeros of ξ(t) follows from this result.

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,∞).

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.
