Download or read book Notions of Positivity and the Geometry of Polynomials written by Petter Brändén and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book consists of solicited articles from a select group of mathematicians and physicists working at the interface between positivity and the geometry, combinatorics or analysis of polynomials of one or several variables. It is dedicated to the memory of Julius Borcea (1968-2009), a distinguished mathematician, Professor at the University of Stockholm. With his extremely original contributions and broad vision, his impact on the topics of the planned volume cannot be underestimated. All contributors knew or have exchanged ideas with Dr. Borcea, and their articles reflect, at least partially, his heritage.
