reciprocal polynomial


Definition [1]Let p:be a polynomialPlanetmathPlanetmath of degree n with complex (or real)coefficients. Then p is a reciprocal polynomial if

p(z)=±znp(1/z)

for all z.

Examples of reciprocal polynomials are Gaussian polynomials, as well as the characteristic polynomialsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of orthogonal matricesMathworldPlanetmath (including the identity matrixMathworldPlanetmath as a special case), symplectic matrices, involution matrices (http://planetmath.org/LinearInvolution), and the Pascal matricesMathworldPlanetmath [2].

It is clear that if z is a zero for a reciprocal polynomial, then1/z is also a zero. This property motivates the name. Thismeans that the spectra of matrices of above type is symmetricMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathwith respect to the unit circleMathworldPlanetmath in ; if λ is aneigenvalueMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath, so is 1/λ.

The sum, difference, and product of two reciprocal polynomials is again a reciprocal polynomial. Hence, reciprocal polynomials form an algebra over the complex numbersMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath.
