On sums of powers of zeros of polynomials
英文摘要:
Due to Girard's (sometimes called Waring's) formula the sum of the $r-$th power of the zeros of every one variable polynomial of degree $N$, $P_{N}(x)$, can be given explicitly in terms of the coefficients of the monic ${\tilde P}_{N}(x)$ polynomial. This formula is closely related to a known \par \noindent $N-1$ variable generalization of Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind, $T_{r}^{(N-1)}$. The generating function of these power sums (or moments) is known to involve the logarithmic derivative of the considered polynomial. This entails a simple formula for the Stieltjes transform of the distribution of zeros. Perron-Stieltjes inversion can be used to find this distribution, {\it e.g.} for $N\to \infty$.\par Classical orthogonal polynomials are taken as examples. The results for ordinary Chebyshev $T_{N}(x)$ and $U_{N}(x)$ polynomials are presented in detail. This will correct a statement about power sums of zeros of Chebyshev's $T-$polynomials found in the literature. For the various cases (Jacobi, Laguerre, Hermite) these moment generating functions provide solutions to certain Riccati equations.
