Kostant used it to rewrite the Weyl character formula as a formula (the Kostant multiplicity formula) for the multiplicity of a weight of an irreducible representation of a semisimple Lie algebra. An alternative formula, that is more computationally efficient in some cases, is Freudenthal's formula .
The graph crosses the x-axis at roots of odd multiplicity and does not cross it at roots of even multiplicity. A non-zero polynomial function is everywhere non-negative if and only if all its roots have even multiplicity and there exists an x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} such that f ( x 0 ) > 0 {\displaystyle f(x_{0})>0} .
The multiplicative identity of R[x] is the polynomial x 0; that is, x 0 times any polynomial p(x) is just p(x). [2] Also, polynomials can be evaluated by specializing x to a real number. More precisely, for any given real number r, there is a unique unital R-algebra homomorphism ev r : R[x] → R such that ev r (x) = r. Because ev r is unital ...
Any nth degree polynomial has exactly n roots in the complex plane, if counted according to multiplicity. So if f ( x ) is a polynomial with real coefficients which does not have a root at 0 (that is a polynomial with a nonzero constant term) then the minimum number of nonreal roots is equal to
Let f be an analytic function on an open subset of the complex plane with a zero of order m at z 0, and suppose that {f n} is a sequence of functions converging uniformly on compact subsets to f. Fix some ρ > 0 such that f(z) ≠ 0 in 0 < |z − z 0 | ≤ ρ. Choose δ such that |f(z)| > δ for z on the circle |z − z 0 | = ρ.
For example, 4 can be partitioned in five distinct ways: 4 3 + 1 2 + 2 2 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. The only partition of zero is the empty sum, having no parts. The order-dependent composition 1 + 3 is the same partition as 3 + 1, and the two distinct compositions 1 + 2 + 1 and 1 + 1 + 2 represent the same partition as 2 + 1 + 1.
The multiplicity of a prime which does not divide n may be called 0 or may be considered undefined. Ω( n ), the prime omega function , is the number of prime factors of n counted with multiplicity (so it is the sum of all prime factor multiplicities).
Suppose Q(x) = (x − α) r S(x) and S(α) ≠ 0, that is α is a root of Q(x) of multiplicity r. In the partial fraction decomposition, the r first powers of ( x − α ) will occur as denominators of the partial fractions (possibly with a zero numerator).
