The following lists the power sum symmetric polynomials of positive degrees up to n for the first three positive values of . In every case, = is one of the polynomials. The list goes up to degree n because the power sum symmetric polynomials of degrees 1 to n are basic in the sense of the theorem stated below.
It is the power sum symmetric polynomial, defined as (, …,) = + + +. All symmetric polynomials can be obtained from the first n power sum symmetric polynomials by additions and multiplications, possibly involving rational coefficients. More precisely,
The Newton identities also permit expressing the elementary symmetric polynomials in terms of the power sum symmetric polynomials, showing that any symmetric polynomial can also be expressed in the power sums. In fact the first n power sums also form an algebraic basis for the space of symmetric polynomials.
Assume now that the theorem has been proved for all polynomials for m < n variables and all symmetric polynomials in n variables with degree < d. Every homogeneous symmetric polynomial P in A[X 1, ..., X n] S n can be decomposed as a sum of homogeneous symmetric polynomials
The complete homogeneous symmetric polynomial of degree k in n variables X 1, ..., X n, written h k for k = 0, 1, 2, ..., is the sum of all monomials of total degree k in the variables.
The Fermat cubic, in which the sum of three cubes equals another cube, has a general solution. The power sum symmetric polynomial is a building block for symmetric polynomials. The sum of the reciprocals of all perfect powers including duplicates (but not including 1) equals 1.
Vieta's formulas relate the polynomial coefficients to signed sums of products of ... Grouping these terms by degree yields the elementary symmetric polynomials in ...
The name "symmetric function" for elements of Λ R is a misnomer: in neither construction are the elements functions, and in fact, unlike symmetric polynomials, no function of independent variables can be associated to such elements (for instance e 1 would be the sum of all infinitely many variables, which is not defined unless restrictions are ...
