Mahler measures of polynomials that are sums of a bounded number of monomials

Abstract: We study Laurent polynomials in any number of variables that are sums of at most k monomials. We first show that the Mahler measure of such a polynomial is at least h/2 k−2 , where h is the height of the polynomial. Next, restricting to such polynomials having integer coefficients, we show that the set of logarithmic Mahler measures of the elements of this restricted set is a closed subset of the nonnegative real line, with 0 being an isolated point of the set. In the final section, we discuss the extent to wh… Show more

“…We wish to establish a lower bound for M(P ) which depends on the coefficients and on the number of monomials, but which does not depend on the degree of P . Such a result was recently proved by Dobrowolski and Smyth [5]. We use a similar argument, but we obtain a sharper result that includes Mahler's inequality (1.3) as a special case.…”

“…, whereas Dobrowolski and Smyth [23], as well as Akhtari and Vaaler [1], used the theorem of Lawton to study Mahler measures of polynomials with a bounded number of monomials. Finally, Dubickas [24] and Habegger [34] used Lawton's result in their investigations of sums of roots of unity, whereas, as we already mentioned, Smyth [58] used Lawton's limit formula to prove that the sets M(P ) defined in (1.1) are closed.…”
