2 PACIFIC JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Vol. 66, No. 2,1976 LEVEL SETS OF POLYNOMIALS IN n REAL VARIABLES MORRIS MARDEN AND PETER A. MCCOY The methods used in studying the zeros of a polynomial in a single complex variable are here adapted to investigating the level surfaces of a real polynomial in E n, with respect to their intersection and finite or asymptotic tangency with certain cones. Special attention is given to the equipotential surfaces generated by an axisymmetric harmonic polynomial in E\ A principal interest is the application of reasoning used by Cauchy [2, p. 123] in obtaining bounds on the zeros of polynomials in one complex variable. We thereby seek the level sets generated from the real polynomials (1) H(X)-a= Σ «,.,.*{ *? x{τ, X = (x u x 2,, * ), r = *l = [*? + *?+ + x 2 n) ι/ \ It is convenient to introduce direction numbers Λ y = x } r~\ 1 ^ j ^ n, connected byλ^+ + Λ^=l and cones Λ,: λ ; = constant, about the/th axis. On the intersection of the cones Λ y, these polynomials become k=0 r k A k (A,) where k f\k V*-y / ~~ Z-i ^71 7" Λ 1 Λ "' U = AC = Π. At the origin the level set L a (H) has i^th order contact with A n if A k (Aj) = 0 for 0 ^ AC ^ Ϊ^ 1 but A U (A } )/- 0 and A n (A } )/- 0. For such sets we introduce the ratios M V = M V (A,)= max \AJA n \ 491

McCOY = min = μ v (Λ y ) = max A k /A v \. +isfcί Then, by considering points common to the level set L a (H) and the cone Λ ; exterior to the unit ball r > 1 (about the origin), we deduce an inequality (2) H(rΛ,)- a I A n \ r ṉ \A k \ r k ^ \ A n \ r n Γl - M v % r k ] = k= v L k=\ J (2a) I A n I r-[l - (Af,(l - r"-)(r - I)" 1 ] > Λj r Λ (r M,)/(r - 1) from which it is clear that, if r ^ 1 + M n L a (H) does not intersect Λ r Likewise, if we consider the reciprocal polynomial associated with (1), derived by setting 1/r = ζ > 1, the inequalities (3) ζ"~ k \A k (3a) imply that Hiζ'A,)/ oc for ^ g 1 + μ,. Thus we infer that H(rA,)έ a for which brings us to THEOREM 1. // the level set L a (H) has vth order contact with the cone A; at the origin and if it intersects the cone at any additional finite points, then it does so at a distance r from the origin where (4) m v (A ] )<r<l + M v (A j ). By use of inequalities (3a) and (2a), we replace inequality (4) in Theorem 1 by
4 LEVEL SETS OF POLYNOMIALS IN n REAL VARIABLES 493 (4)' r, =i r ^ r 2 where r λ is the larger positive root of the equation l-(l + /x,)r + μ/- +I = 0 and r 2 the larger positive root of the equation r = 1 being a root of both equations. A natural question arising from this theorem is that of determining the point of tangency of the level sets with the cones Λ r Let us consider the fcth term in the polynomial (1), r k A k (Γ λ X) = Σ. <*n jm"-x ] n. As this sum is composed of homogeneous polynomials of degree /c, we may apply Euler's Identity [1, p. 141] to find that (5) X V[r k Λ k (r'x)] = kr k A k (r ι X), where the left side is the scalar product of vector X and the gradient of the bracket. On account of this relation, the orthogonality condition becomes X VH(X) = 0 (6) 2 kr k A k (A J ) = 0. k = v Let us define m*(λ,)= min [(ka L + A V )I(A V )\ M*(Λ,)= max (ka k /na n ). Theorem 1 and equation 6 lead to COROLLARY 1.1. If the level set L a (H) has vth order contact with the
5 494 M. MARDEN AND P. A. McCOY cone Aj at its vertex and is tangent to the cone at a positive distance r from the origin, then (7) mΐ(λ,)<r<l + Mΐ(Λ ; ). As equation (6) may be viewed as (8) d[h(x)-a]/dr = 0, we may use Rolle's Theorem to conclude COROLLARY 1.2. // the ray (λ b, λ π ) E Π" =1 Λ 7, the level surface L a (H) has a finite tangental contact point between successive pairs of intersections of L a (H) with the ray. The influence of the coefficient A n = A n (X) on the structure of L a (H) near infinity is found by selecting a sequence of points {X fc }, r k = I X k I > oo, such that H(X k ) = a. Each of these points is located on a cone Af\ This leads to the bound r k < 1 + M,(ΛJ fc) ) and the limit A n (A] k) ) > 0 due to r k > oo. From the continuity of A m the sequence ΛJ k) converges to the cone Λ y, where A Π (Λ 7 ) = 0. We conclude that L a (H) is asymptotic to a set imbedded in the null cones of A n. Level sets which are asymptotic to these cones are unbounded. Hence THEOREM 2. The level set L a (H) is unbounded if and only if it is asymptotic to a set imbedded in a cone Λ, such that A n (A ) )= z O. Let us turn our attention to the influence of the algebraic sign of the coefficients of these polynomials on their level sets. It is of course clear that, if a level set L a (H) has contact with a cone Λ 7 on p spheres, then L a (H) has contact with these same spheres on each cone Λ/ for which the coefficients A k agree term wise. A more explicit conclusion is obtained thru the use of Descartes' rule of signs in THEOREM 3. // the number of variations in sign of the terms in the sequence of coefficients (9) A 0 (Λ,),,A n (Λ ; ) generated from the polynomial H(X) a on the cone A } is p, then the number of intersections of surface L a (H) and cone Λ, is p or is less than p by an even positive integer. If the number of permanences in sign for (9) is q, then surface L a (H) and cone Λ* = ( Λ ; ) have at most of q intersections.
6 LEVEL SETS OF POLYNOMIALS IN n REAL VARIABLES 495 A sufficient condition for such an intersection is found in COROLLARY 3.1. // Λ ; is a cone for which the signs of the coefficients A 0 (Λ y ) and A n (Λ,) are opposite, then the level set L a (H) has positive contact with A r A k Additional connections between these level sets and the coefficients are found in the equation H(rλΛ,)-α = A k (Λ,)λ k r k = S A k (A } )r k = H{rA,)-a fc=0 fc=0 which hold on cones Λ, and Λ, for which λ fc A fc (Λ,) = A k (A,), A k (A } ), 0 ^ fc ^ n, for some real constant λ. This equation establishes a relation between the intersections of level sets with cones about yth and /th axes, as stated in THEOREM 4. Let the level set L a (H) meet the cone Λ, at the positive distances r {, -, r p. Then L a (H) meets each cone Aifor which there exists a positive constant λ such that at the distances λr u λr 2,, λr p. Let us now focus our attention upon equipotential surfaces generated by axisymmetric harmonic polynomials in E\ These surfaces arise when the coefficients A fc (Λ y ) reduce to P k (cosθ), the Legendre polynomial of degree k in cos θ = xr~ x and the polynomial H(X)- a becomes the real harmonic polynomial of degree n (10) H(r,θ)-a = Σ a k r k P k (cosθl a n ϊ0. k=0 Elementary reasoning based on the fact that on the cone θ = θ 0, H(r, θ) a is a polynomial of degree n in the variable r leads us to geometrical properties of these surfaces which are summarized in THEOREM 5. For each axisymmetric harmonic polynomial H, every finite point of E 3 belongs to some equipotential of H. In particular, if the equipotential surfaces L a (H) and L β (H) have contact with a cone on the spheres r = r 0 and r = JR 0, respectively, then for each choice of λ between a and β the equipotential surface L k {H) has contact with this cone between these spheres.
7 496 M. MARDEN AND P. A. McCOY Although equipotential surfaces generated from distinct harmonic polynomials of degree n with common zeroth order contact at the origin have no more than n - 1 common circles of intersection on any fixed cone, near infinity these surfaces have nearly identical structure. To bring forth this asymptotic property, we apply Theorem 2 to equation (10) to conclude THEOREM 6. An equipotential surface generated from an axisymmetric harmonic polynomial of degree n is unbounded if and only if it is asymptotic to at least one of the cones θ = θ } for which (cos 0,) = 0, Having established these properties of equipotentials, let us now estimate the growth of these surfaces in a neighborhood of infinity. To accomplish this, consider an unbounded equipotential surface generated from an nth degree harmonic polynomial with *>th order contact at the origin. At large distances from the origin this surface either coincides with or approaches some cone 0 = 0 y, (cos0 y ) = O. In the latter case assuming the equipotential meets the cone 0 = 0 O for 0 O > θ, we select β(e >0) sufficiently small so that Pή(cos 0)P rt (cos 0)^ 0 for O^0 ; < 0 4- e < 7r. Let us now apply the Mean Value Theorem on the interval JΘ = [θ j7 0], θj < θ < θj + to find η Ef θ so that P:(cos η) = [P π (cos 0)- (cos 0,)]/(cos 0 - cos Θj). We then use the relations to deduce that - cos 0 + cos θj = 2sin ((0 + 0,)/2) sin ((0-0 ; )/2) >(sin0 7 )(0-0 y )sin(6/2)/6 P k (cosθ) (cosθ) P k (cos 0) (cos 0 - cos θ } ) (cos 0 - cos θj) ( (cos Θ)- (cos θ,) K(e) -(θ-θj)\p' n (cosη)\ From this estimate we find that on the equipotential surface L α (Jί), α fc P fc (cos0) max a n (cos 0) M e /(0-0 7 ) for θj < θ < θj + e and v + 1< n establishing
8 LEVEL SETS OF POLYNOMIALS IN n REAL VARIABLES 497 THEOREM 7. If an equipotential surface generated by an axisymmetric harmonic polynomial in E 3 is unbounded and in neighborhood of infinity meets the cone θ = 0 O at a distance r = r(0 o ), then r(0 o ) = O{max (1/ 0O-0J)} where (cos 0 7 ) = 0, l^j^n for Θ Q / θ h We now turn to some analytic results on the zeros r u function, r n - v of the from which we infer that H(r, 0 O ) - a = Σ a k r k P k (cos 0 O ), r > 0, k = v H(r, 0 O )- a = a n (cos θ Q )r v {r n ~ v + s n - 1 r n -' s v+ι r + 5,) where s k = a k P k (cos θ 0 )/a n (cos 0 O ), v ^ k ^ n - 1. of the equation The coefficients «.«^ _ι_ c n u ί _ι_ i, i Γl are symmetric functions of its roots r k. Thus, s r+1 = (- lγ""'(r 2 r 3 r B _, + r,r 3 τ n. v + + r,r 2 r π^m) From these symmetric functions we find (11) r, + + r B _, = - (α^p.-^cos θ 0 )/a n (cos θ 0 )) 1/ri + + \\τ n - v = - (a v+ι P v+ι (cos θ 0 )la v P v {cos θ 0 )). which bring us to THEOREM 8. polynomial Let the equipotential surface generated by the harmonic H(r, θ)-a = Σ a k r k P k (cos θ) k = θ
9 498 M. MARDEN AND P. A. McCOY having vth order contact with the cone θ = θ 0 at the origin meet this cone in n - v additional finite circles at the distances r u, r n - v. Let M m M g and M h be respectively the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means of r, r n - v and let b k =\a k /a n \ and τ k (0 o )= Pfc(cos0 o )/ (cos0o). If (cos 0 o )P v+ i(cos θo) ^ 0 and a n a vu / 0, then M h =(n- v)(bjb v+ι )[τ v (θo)/τ v+ι (θo)]. Bounds on the circles of intersection having maximum and minimum radii are found in COROLLARY 8.1. The maximum circle of intersection of the equipotential surface L a (H) and the cone θ = 0 O lies exterior to the sphere about the origin with a radius max {M a,m h } and the minimum circle of intersection not on the origin lies interior to the sphere about the origin with a radius min {M a, M h }. When contact at the origin is zeroth order, from the facts that the distances r u r n - v are positive, P o (cos0)=l, Pi(cos θ) = cos θ and equations (11) we deduce COROLLARY 8.2. For an equipotential surface L a (H) having zeroth order contact with the cone θ 0 () at the origin to intersect this cone in n finite circles, it is necessary that 0 ^ 0 O < π/2 if aja o < 0 and π/2 < θ o < π if aja Q >0.
