Deformation of Roots of Polynomials via Fractional Derivatives
International audienceWe first recall the main features of Fractional calculus. In the expression of fractional derivatives of a real polynomial , we view the order of differentiation as a new indeterminate; then we define a new bivariate polynomial . For , defines an homotopy between the polynomials and . Iterating this construction, we associate to a plane spline curve, we called the stem of . Stems of classic random polynomials exhibits intriguing patterns; moreover in the complex plane creates an unexpected correspondence between the complex roots and the critical points of . We propose 3 conjectures to describe and explain these phenomena. Illustrations are provided relying on the computer algebra system Maple.On utilise un facteur polynomial de la derivee fractionnaire d'un polynome f pour definir une homotopie entre ce polynome et son polynome derive. Ceci permet d'associer a f deux type de courbes planes. On etudie le cas ou les coefficients de f suivent des distributions aleatoires classiques
