报告摘要:The asymptotic distribution theory for coecients of a polynomial is an active topic in asymptotic analysis. In 1967, Harper proposed a criterion to measure the asymptotic normality of a series of numbers, when he researched the asymptotic behavior of Stirling numbers of the second kind. In this paper, we aim to develop some further asymptotic normality criteria of coecients of a polynomial with all real roots or purely imaginary roots (including 0). These new asymptotic normality criteria turn out to be very ecient and have abundant applications in combinatorics, mainly including the coecients of a series of characteristic polynomials of adjacency matrix, Laplacian matrix, signless Laplacian matrix, skew-adjacency matrix, chromatic polynomial, and some graph numbers, such as matching numbers, independence numbers, clique numbers. Among which, we generalize and verify some conjectures about asymptotic normality in combinatorics, e.g., the matching numbers proposed by Godsil and Kahn , the (signless) Laplacian coecients claimed by Wang et al.
