We show that a monic univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero, with $k$ distinct non-zero known roots, is determined by its $k$ proper leading coefficients by providing an explicit algorithm for computing the multiplicities of each root. We provide a version of the result and accompanying algorithm when the field is not algebraically closed by considering the minimal polynomials of the roots. Furthermore, we show how to perform the aforementioned algorithm in a numerically stable manner over $mathbb{C}$, and then apply it to obtain new characteristic polynomials of hypergraphs.

The Poupard polynomials are polynomials in one variable with integer coefficients, with some close relationship to Bernoulli and tangent numbers. They also have a combinatorial interpretation. We prove that every Poupard polynomial has all its roots on the unit circle. We also obtain the same property for another sequence of polynomials introduced by Kreweras and related to Genocchi numbers. This is obtained through a general statement about some linear operators acting on palindromic polynomials.
Assume that the vertices of a graph $G$ are always operational, but the edges of $G$ fail independently with probability $q in[0,1]$. The emph{all-terminal reliability} of $G$ is the probability that the resulting subgraph is connected. The all-terminal reliability can be formulated into a polynomial in $q$, and it was conjectured cite{BC1} that all the roots of (nonzero) reliability polynomials fall inside the closed unit disk. It has since been shown that there exist some connected graphs which have their reliability roots outside the closed unit disk, but these examples seem to be few and far between, and the roots are only barely outside the disk. In this paper we generalize the notion of reliability to simplicial complexes and matroids and investigate when, for small simplicial complexes and matroids, the roots fall inside the closed unit disk.
In this short note we observe that recent results of Abert and Hubai and of Csikvari and Frenkel about Benjamini--Schramm continuity of the holomorphic moments of the roots of the chromatic polynomial extend to the theory of dense graph sequences. We offer a number of problems and conjectures motivated by this observation.
We prove that the triviality of the Galois action on the suitably twisted odd-dimensional etale cohomogy group of a smooth projective varietiy with finite coefficients implies the existence of certain primitive roots of unity in the field of definition of the variety. This text was inspired by an exercise in Serres Lectures on the Mordell--Weil theorem.
Assume that the vertices of a graph $G$ are always operational, but the edges of $G$ are operational independently with probability $p in[0,1]$. For fixed vertices $s$ and $t$, the emph{two-terminal reliability} of $G$ is the probability that the operational subgraph contains an $(s,t)$-path, while the emph{all-terminal reliability} of $G$ is the probability that the operational subgraph contains a spanning tree. Both reliabilities are polynomials in $p$, and have very similar behaviour in many respects. However, unlike all-terminal reliability, little is known about the roots of two-reliability polynomials. In a variety of ways, we shall show that the nature and location of the roots of two-terminal reliability polynomials have significantly different properties than those held by roots of the all-terminal reliability.
