Existence of a monic polynomial with integer coefficients and a given set of root












2












$begingroup$


Let $r > 1$, $epsilon > 0$, $eta > 0$ does there always exist a monic polynomial with integer coefficients $P$ such that





  • $P$ has a unique real root $r_0$, s.t $|r_0 - r| < epsilon$

  • For all other roots of $P$, $r_i$, $|r_i| < eta$


(I'm expecting this to be false)

  • $begingroup$
    Once the degree $n$ is fixed, those bounds on the roots give some bounds on the coefficients of the polynomial, so there are only finitely many integer polynomials satisfying those. Thus for $r$ non-algebraic when $epsilon to 0$ then necessarily $n to infty$. Also (with the same argument) for $eta$ small enough there is no monic integer polynomial whose roots are all $eta$ close to $0$, so wlog. your polynomial must be irreducible
