Bounds for the zeros of unilateral octonionic polynomials

Abstract

Abstract In the present work it is proved that the zeros of a unilateral octonionic polynomial belong to the conjugacy classes of the latent roots of an appropriate lambda-matrix. This allows the use of matricial norms, and matrix norms in particular, to obtain upper and lower bounds for the zeros of unilateral octonionic polynomials. Some results valid for complex and/or matrix polynomials are extended to octonionic polynomials.
