Mahler's Measure of Special Classes Polynomials

Information on Mahler's measure of various special classes of polynomials.

1. Littlewood polynomials, polynomials having all coefficients equal to +1 or -1 (zero is not allowed).
   • All Littlewood polynomials having degree at most 72 and measure less than 5/3.
   • The 40 smallest known measures greater than 1 of Littlewood polynomials.
   A summary of this data, and information on the search, appears in The Mahler measure of Littlewood polynomials, by P. Borwein, K. Hare, and M. Mossinghoff.

2. Coming soon: Newman polynomials, polynomials having all coefficients equal to 0 or 1.
