| Abstract [eng] |
The doctoral dissertation deals with mathematical problems related to various heights of polynomials. The height of a polynomial, in the most general sense, is a quantity by which we measure the complexity of the polynomial P. There are several different types of heights: the naive height H(P), the length L(P), the Euclidean norm ||P||, the Mahler measure M(P) or the integral norms ||P||s. The doctoral dissertation is devoted to study algebraic, analytical and number theoretical properties of polynomials which depend on heights. We consider the height reduction problem for polynomials in R[x] and maxima of polynomials with restricted coefficients on the unit circle. The properties of algebraic numbers whose minimal polynomials have small integer coefficients {-1, 0, 1} are investigated with a special attention to Newman and Littlewood polynomials. We explore the arithmetic and geometric properties of algebraic numbers which are roots of trinomial or quadrinomial equations in connection with the intersection problem of the geometric and arithmetic progressions of real numbers. The reducibility problem of Walsh is solved. The problem of construction of number systems in the rings Z[α] is studied for expanding algebraic integers α, together with metric versions of Mahler measures. We prove inequalities for the Mahler measures and Ls norms of the derivatives of self – inversive polynomials. Polynomials which are related to Barker sequences are investigated. A composition equation for polynomials is solved. All these new mathematical results are obtained by a combination of the mathematical theory and computer aided calculations. |
