  2. Vieta's formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieta's_formulas

    Vieta's formulas are frequently used with polynomials with coefficients in any integral domain R.Then, the quotients / belong to the field of fractions of R (and possibly are in R itself if happens to be invertible in R) and the roots are taken in an algebraically closed extension.

  3. Sum of radicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_radicals

    In mathematics, a sum of radicals is defined as a finite linear combination of n th roots: =, where , are natural numbers and , are real numbers.. A particular special case arising in computational complexity theory is the square-root sum problem, asking whether it is possible to determine the sign of a sum of square roots, with integer coefficients, in polynomial time.

  4. Gauss sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_sum

    In algebraic number theory, a Gauss sum or Gaussian sum is a particular kind of finite sum of roots of unity, typically ():= (,) = ()where the sum is over elements r of some finite commutative ring R, ψ is a group homomorphism of the additive group R + into the unit circle, and χ is a group homomorphism of the unit group R × into the unit circle, extended to non-unit r, where it takes the ...

  5. Ramanujan's sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan's_sum

    Therefore, there are φ(q) primitive q-th roots of unity. Thus, the Ramanujan sum c q (n) is the sum of the n-th powers of the primitive q-th roots of unity. It is a fact [3] that the powers of ζ q are precisely the primitive roots for all the divisors of q. Example. Let q = 12. Then

  6. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    The difference of two squares is used to find the linear factors of the sum of two squares, using complex number coefficients. For example, the complex roots of z 2 + 4 {\displaystyle z^{2}+4} can be found using difference of two squares:

  7. Digital root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_root

    The digital root (also repeated digital sum) of a natural number in a given radix is the (single digit) value obtained by an iterative process of summing digits, on each iteration using the result from the previous iteration to compute a digit sum. The process continues until a single-digit number is reached.

  8. Descartes' rule of signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes'_rule_of_signs

    The rule states that if the nonzero terms of a single-variable polynomial with real coefficients are ordered by descending variable exponent, then the number of positive roots of the polynomial is either equal to the number of sign changes between consecutive (nonzero) coefficients, or is less than it by an even number.

  9. Square-root sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-root_sum_problem

    SRS can be solved in polynomial time in the Real RAM model. [3] However, its run-time complexity in the Turing machine model is open, as of 1997. [1] The main difficulty is that, in order to solve the problem, the square-roots should be computed to a high accuracy, which may require a large number of bits.
