Abstract
Let be real numbers, , and be a polynomial of degree less than or equal to . Denote by the matrix of generalized divided differences of with nodes and by the Bezout matrix (Bezoutiant) of and . A relationship between the corresponding principal minors, counted from the right-hand lower corner, of the matrices and is established. It implies that if the principal minors of the matrix of divided differences of a function are positive or have alternating signs then the roots of the Newton's interpolation polynomial of are real and separated by the nodes of interpolation.
