Abstract

A real polynomial in one real variable is called hyperbolic if it has only real roots. The polynomial f is called a primitive of order ν of the polynomial g if f(ν) = g. A hyperbolic polynomial is called very hyperbolic if it has hyperbolic primitives of all orders. In the paper we prove some geometric properties of the set D of values of the parameters ai for which the polynomial xn + a1xn−1 + … + an is very hyperbolic. In particular, we prove the Whitney property (the curvilinear distance to be equivalent to the Euclidean one) of the set D ∩{a1 = 0, a2 ≥ −1}.
