Abstract
Kurt Mahler in 1982 studied a special sequence of very sparse (0,1)-polynomials which have only powers of 2 as exponents. In this paper we study divisibility properties of these polynomials by certain cyclotomic polynomials and prove an explicit version of a result that was given only implicitly by Mahler. We also consider the distribution of real and complex noncyclotomic zeros, improving some of Mahler’s results. Then we show that the derivatives of the polynomials of Mahler have all their zeros inside the unit circle. We conclude this paper with some further remarks and open questions.
