What do you mean with reflection across the bottom/top of the curve?

With combination you presumably mean taking (polynomial+reflected polynomial)/2?

Ah there we go. At the very least I was only considering the subspace where the polynomial's derivative has only real roots?

Think of a simple quadratic. The reflection is across the min(f(x)) axis. But for higher order polynomials that doesn't always work so that is certainly an issue. Thanks
