Abstract
Each degree n polynomial in one variable of the form (x+1)(x n−1+c 1 x n−2+⋅⋅⋅+c n−1) is representable in a unique way as a Schur-Szegő composition of n−1 polynomials of the form (x+1)n−1(x+a i ), see Kostov (2003), Alkhatib and Kostov (2008) and Kostov (Mathematica Balkanica 22, 2008). Set \(\sigma _{j}:=\sum _{1\leq i_{1}<\cdots <i_{j}\leq n-1}a_{i_{1}}\cdots a_{i_{j}}\). The eigenvalues of the affine mapping (c 1,…,c n−1)↦(σ 1,…,σ n−1) are positive rational numbers and its eigenvectors are defined by hyperbolic polynomials (i.e. with real roots only). In the present paper we prove interlacing properties of the roots of these polynomials.
