Constructive Approximation Aims and scope

Abstract

Let T=α 0 I+α 1 D+⋅⋅⋅+α n D n, where D is the differentiation operator and \(\alpha_{0}\not=0\) , and let f be a square-free polynomial with large minimum root separation. We prove that the roots of Tf are close to the roots of f translated by −α 1/α 0.
