On Two Sequences of Polynomials Satisfying Certain Recurrence

Abstract

Bae and Kim displayed a sequence of 4th degree self-reciprocal polynomials whose maximal zeros are related in a very nice and far from obvious way. Kim showed that the auxiliary polynomials in their results are related to Chebyshev polynomials. In this paper, we study two sequences of polynomials satisfying the recurrence of the auxiliary polynomials with generalized initial conditions. We obtain same results with the auxiliary polynomials from a sequence, and some interesting conjectural properties about resultants and discriminants from another sequence.
