Real rootedness of a polynomial

If you have two polynomials $f(x)=a_0+a_1x+\cdots a_mx^m$ and $g(x)=b_0+b_1x+\cdots+b_nx^n$, such that the roots of $f$ are all real, and the roots of $g$ are all real and of the same sign, then the Hadamard product $$f\circ g(x)=a_0b_0+a_1b_1x+a_2b_2x^2+\cdots$$ has all roots real. This was proven originally in

E. Malo, Note sur les équations algébriques dont toutes les racines sont réelles, Journal de Mathématiques Spéciales, (4), vol. 4 (1895)

One can make stronger statements, such as the result by Schur that says that $\sum k!a_kb_k x^k$ will only have real roots, under the same conditions. Schur's theorem combined with the fact that $\{1/k!\}_{k\geq 0}$ is a Polya frequency sequence, implies Malo's theorem.

I'm not sure what the best reference to learn the theory of real rooted polynomials, and the associated operations that preserve real rootedness is. One textbook I know that discusses some of these classical results is Marden's "Geometry of Polynomials".


According to the representation for Jacobi polynomials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_polynomials#Alternate_expression_for_real_argument $$ P^{(0,n-m)}_m(x)=\sum_{j=0}^m \binom{m}{j}\binom{n}{j}\left(\frac{x-1}{2}\right)^{j}\left(\frac{x+1}{2}\right)^{m-j} $$ OPs polynomial equals $$ P_{m,n}(t)=(1-t)^mP^{(0,n-m)}_m\left(\frac{1+t}{1-t}\right). $$ Since zeroes of Jacobi polynomials are real valued, all roots of the polynomial $P_{m,n}(t)$ are also real valued (see D.Dominici, S.J.Johnston, K.Jordaan, Real zeros of hypergeometric polynomials).
