Abstract

We consider univariate real polynomials with all real roots and with two sign changes in the sequence of their coefficients which are all non-vanishing. Assume that one of the changes is between the linear and the constant term. By Descartes' rule of signs, such degree \(d\) polynomials have 2 positive and \(d-2\) negative roots. We consider the possible sequences of the moduli of their roots on the real positive half-axis. When these moduli are distinct, we give the exhaustive answer to the question which positions can the moduli of the two positive roots occupy.
