Questions in which polynomials (single or several variables) play a key role. It is typically important that this tag is combined with other tags; polynomials appear in very different contexts. Please, use at least one of the top-level tags, such as nt.number-theory, co.combinatorics, ac.commutative-algebra, in addition to it. Also, note the more specific tags for some special types of polynomials, e.g., orthogonal-polynomials, symmetric-polynomials.

One-sided version of the "best approximation polynomial" : Upper polynomial approximations
Let $X$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb R$ and let $f : X \to {\mathbb R}$. Suppose we want to approximate $f$ by a polynomial $g$ of fixed degree $d\geq 1$ with the additional condition
$g\geq f$. Let …

Finite interpolation by a nondecreasing polynomial
It is well known that there are polynomials that "interpolate"
in that $f(x_i)=y_i$ for all $i$, and the Lagrange interpolating polynomial
even warrants a solution of degree $ < n$. …

Is it true that all the "irrational power" functions are almost polynomial ?
Hello all, the $\Delta$ operator on functions $\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}$
(where $\mathcal N$ denotes $\lbrace 1,2, \ldots , \rbrace$ )defined by
$\Delta(f)(n)=f(n+1)-f(n)$ is well-known and
it is …

"Consecutive" irreducible polynomials
If $P\in {\mathbb Z}[X]$ is a polynomial of degree $2$, then
it is easy to see that for any integer $m$, at least one of the polynomials
$P-(m+1),P-(m+2),P-(m+3),P-(m+4)$ is irreducible in ${\mathbb Z} …

Expressing field inclusions by polynomial equalities on coefficients
Let $A$ be the set of all quadruples $(a_0,a_1,a_2,a_3) \in {\mathbb Q}^4$ such that
the polynomial $P=X^4+a_3X^3+a_2X^2+a_1X+a_0$ is irreducible and if $z$ is any root
of $P$, then ${\mathbb Q}(z)$ c …

algebraic numbers of degree 3 and 6, whose sum has degree 12
This question is related to Degree of sum of algebraic numbers. Forgive me if
this is a dumb question, but are there two algebraic numbers $a$ and $b$ of degree $3$ and $6$ respectively, such that the …

"Unknot" algebraic set defined by two mutually dependent set of variables
Let $n$ be an integer $\geq 4$, and let $V \subseteq {\mathbb C}^{2n-1}$ be the set of all
$(a_1,a_2, \ldots ,a_n,b_1,b_2, \ldots ,b_{n-1}) \in {\mathbb C}^{2n-1}$ such that the derivative of the pol …

Which polynomials arise as formulas for a conjugate
For any integer $r \geq 2$, et $V_r$ be the set of polynomials $Q \in {\mathbb Q}[X]$ of degree $r-1$ such that there is an algebraic number $\alpha$ of degree $r$ , such that
$Q(\alpha)$ is a conjugate … It is not hard to see that $V_2$ consists exactly of $X$ and all the polynomials $a_0-X$, for $a_0\in {\mathbb Q}$. Have
the $V_r(r \geq 3)$ been studied? Is anything known about $V_3$ ? …
