Real Zeros of a Class of Hyperbolic Polynomials with Random Coefficients by Mina Ketan Mahanti, Amandeep Singh, Lokanath Sahoo

“…We have proved here that the expected number of real zeros of a random hyperbolic polynomial of the form y=Pnt=n1a1cosh⁡t+n2a2cosh⁡2t+⋯+nnancosh⁡nt, where a1,…,an is a sequence of standard Gaussian random variables, is n/2+op(1). It is shown that the asymptotic value of expected number of times the polynomial crosses the level y=K is also n/2 as long as K does not exceed 2neμ(n), where μ(n)=o(n). …”
