Orientador: Eliana Xavier Linhares de Andrade / Banca: Sérgio Antonio Tozoni / Banca: Dimitar Kolev Dimitrov / Resumo: O principal objetivo deste trabalho é estudar um problema de eletrostática geral que envolve ambos, um campo externo e restrições sobre cargas livres. Foram fornecidas condições necessárias e suficientes para o mínimo da energia em termos de soluções polinomiais de uma equação diferencial de Lamé modificada. Além disso, foram dadas novas demonstrações, mais simples, de resultados clássicos de Stieltjes e Szego. Finalmente, foi obtida uma interpretação eletrostática para os zeros dos polinômios comumente chamados de Hermite-Laurent. / Abstract: A general electrostatic problem which involves both an external field and restrictions on the free charges is studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the minimum of the energy are furnished in terms of polynomial solutions of a modified Lamé differential equation. New simplified proofs of classical results of Sitieltjes and Szego are given. An electrostatic interpretation of the so-called Hermite-Laurent polynomials is obtained. / Mestre

Our focus, in this thesis, is on zeros of hypergeometric polynomials. Several problems in various areas of science can be seen in terms of the search of zeros of functions; and this search can be reduced to finding the zeros of approximating polynomials, since under some conditions, functions can be approximated by polynomials. In this thesis, we consider the zeros of a specific polynomial, namely the hypergeometric polynomial. We review some work done on the zero location and the asymptotic zero distribution of Gauss hypergeometric polynomials with real parameters. We extend some contiguous relations of 2F1 functions, and then we deduce the zero location for some classes of Gauss polynomials with non-real parameters. We study the asymptotic zero distribution of some classes of 3F2polynomials that extend results in the literature. / Dissertation (MSc (Applied Mathematics))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Mathematics and Applied Mathematics / MSc / unrestricted
