In this paper, we analyze the root behavior of general polynomials satisfying the conditions of Stanley's theorem and compare this to the known root behavior of Ehrhart polynomials. We provide a possible counterexample to a conjecture of the second author, M. Beck, J. De Loera, J. Pfeifle, and R. Stanley, and contribute some experimental data as well.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-10-12T12:49:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52C07", "52B20", "26C10" ], "keywords": [ "stanleys non-negativity theorem", "ehrhart polynomial roots", "root behavior", "experimental data", "stanleys theorem" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AMS", "journal": "Represent.
