Descartes' rule of signs implies that such a polynomial has $\\tilde{c}$ positive and $\\tilde{p}$ negative roots counted with multiplicity, where $\\tilde{c}$ and $\\tilde{p}$ are the numbers of sign changes and sign preservations in the sequence of its coefficients, $\\tilde{c}+\\tilde{p}=d$. For $d=6$, we give the exhaustive answer to the question: When the moduli of all $6$ roots are distinct and arranged on the real positive half-axis, in which positions can the moduli of the negative roots be depending on the signs of the coefficients?", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-23T08:44:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "26C10", "30C15" ], "keywords": [ "hyperbolic polynomials", "real univariate degree", "negative roots", "sign changes", "signs implies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
