Discriminant-Resultant Families and Root Multiplicity Analysis

We introduce discriminants and resultants associated with graphs and observe how certain families of these functions can give rich information about the root multiplicities of univariate real polynomials. Some appropriately chosen discriminant (resultant) sequences serve as exact criteria for polynomials to have given multiplicities of roots (common roots). Moreover, from correspondence between sign vectors of discriminants (resultants) and root multiplicity vectors we derive several theorems about polynomials with given properties of the root multiplicities. Based in such consideration, we explain algorithms for determining multiplicity vectors and other related properties of roots (or common roots) of the polynomials. Finally, the sign tables of discriminant families furnish several new series of general inequalities over the coefficients of real polynomials with not necessarily real roots.
