Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a finite extension. We prove that the minimal height of polynomials of degree $n$ of which all roots are in $K^\times$ increases exponentially in $n$. We determine the implied constant exactly for totally real $K$ and $K$ equal to $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ or $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$.
We use the automatic theorem prover Walnut to resolve various open problems from the OEIS and beyond. Specifically, we clarify the structure of sequence A260311, which concerns runs of sums of upper Wythoff numbers. We extend a result of Hajdu, Tijdeman, and Varga on polynomials with nonzero coefficients modulo a prime. Additionally, we settle open problems related to the anti-recurrence sequences A265389 and A299409, as well as the subsumfree sequences A026471 and A026475. Our findings also give rise to new open problems.
