Part of the book series: Operator Theory: Advances and Applications ((OT,volume 157))

Abstract

A series of analytic and geometric features of generalized lemniscates are presented from an elementary and unifying point of view. A novel interplay between matrix theory and elementary geometry of planar algebraic curves is derived, with a variety of applicationvalue problem and Hardy space estimates to a root separation algorithm.
