The Boyd-Lawton Formula
While Mahler measure gives us a quantification of geometric means of polynomials, the Boyd-Lawton formula provides a link between singlevariate and multivariate Mahler measures. In this talk, we will focus on how Lawton proved this formula, and discuss how we can approximate continuous functions on the unit torus with trigonometric polynomials.
