Number Theory and Polynomials cover

Contributions by leading experts in the field provide a snapshot of current progress in polynomials and number theory.

Containing the latest research, this volume is essential for readers looking for a snapshot of current progress in polynomials and number theory. Contributions by leading experts in the field include recent work on the Schur-Siegel-Smyth trace problem, Mahler measure, the merit factor problem, Barker sequences, and K3-surfaces.Many areas of active research within the broad field of number theory relate to properties of polynomials, and this volume displays the most recent and most interesting work on this theme. The 2006 Number Theory and Polynomials workshop in Bristol drew together international researchers with a variety of number-theoretic interests, and the book's contents reflect the quality of the meeting. Topics covered include recent work on the Schur-Siegel-Smyth trace problem, Mahler measure and its generalisations, the merit factor problem, Barker sequences, K3-surfaces, self-inversive polynomials, Newman's inequality, algorithms for sparse polynomials, the integer transfinite diameter, divisors of polynomials, non-linear recurrence sequences, polynomial ergodic averages, and the Hansen-Mullen primitivity conjecture. With surveys and expository articles presenting the latest research, this volume is essential for graduates and researchers looking for a snapshot of current progress in polynomials and number theory.
