[seqfan] Re: R: Number of real roots of polynomial with coefficients +-1, or 0, +-1

[Luca Petrone]

I was meaning that, for a given n, the max number of nonzero real roots  with 
c_0 and c_n of different sign is always >= the  max number of nonzero real 
roots  with c_0 and c_n of same sign. E.g., for n=6, they are 4 and 2, 
respectively.
Bye, Luca
