Asymptotic Estimate of Number of Level Crossings of a Random Algebraic Polynomial

Author: Dr. P.K. Mishra

Abstract: We study the expected number of level crossings of an algebraic polynomial of degree n, whose coefficients are independent distributed random variables. We present a formula for the expected number, which has the advantage of being easy to use numerically. This approach shows that the error term involved in the asymptotic estimate for the expected number of real zeros with this class of distribution for the coefficients is 0(1).
