Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of a nearest polynomial with a given root in the complex field (the coefficients of the polynomial and the root are complex numbers). We are interested in the existence and the uniqueness of such polynomials. Then we study the problem in the real case (the coefficients of the polynomial and the root are real numbers), and in the real-complex case (the coefficients of the polynomial are real numbers and the root is a complex number). We derive new formulas for computing such polynomials.
