Structured matrices, continued fractions, and root localization of polynomials
We give a detailed account of various connections between several classes of
objects: Hankel, Hurwitz, Toeplitz, Vandermonde and other structured matrices,
Stietjes and Jacobi-type continued fractions, Cauchy indices, moment problems,
total positivity, and root localization of univariate polynomials. Along with a
survey of many classical facts, we provide a number of new results.Comment: 79 pages; new material added to the Introductio
