Abstract:We study {0, 1} and {−1, 1} polynomials f (z), called Newman and Littlewood polynomials, that have a prescribed number N (f ) of zeros in the open unit disk D = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1}. For every pair (k, n) ∈ N 2 , where n ≥ 7 and k ∈ [3, n − 3], we prove that it is possible to find a {0, 1}-polynomial f (z) of degree deg f = n with non-zero constant term f (0) = 0, such that N (f ) = k and f (z) = 0 on the unit circle ∂D. On the way to this goal, we answer a question of D. W. Boyd from 1986 on the smallest degree … Show more
