Root geometry of polynomial sequences I: Type
J. L. Gross, T. Mansour, T. W. Tucker +1
This paper is concerned with the distribution in the complex plane of the roots of a polynomial sequence given by a recursion $W_n(x)=aW_{n-1}(x)+(bx+c)W_{n-2}…

Log-concavity of the genus polynomials of Ringel ladders
J. L. Gross, T. Mansour, T. W. Tucker +1
A Ringel ladder can be formed by a self-bar-amalgamation operation on a symmetric ladder, that is, by joining the root vertices on its end-rungs. The present authors have previousl…

Iterated claws have real-rooted genus polynomials
J. L. Gross, T. Mansour, T. W. Tucker +1
We prove that the genus polynomials of the graphs called iterated claws are real-rooted. This continues our work directed toward the 25-year-old conjecture that the genus distribut…
