Abstract

By using the technique introduced in 1995 by Shepp and Vanderbei, we derive an exact formula for the expected number of complex zeros of a complex random polynomial due to Kac. The explicit evaluation of the average intensity function is obtained in closed form in the case of standard normal coefficients. In addition, we provide the limiting expressions for the intensity function and the expected number of zeros in open circular disks in the complex plane.
