In mathematics, a homogeneous polynomial, sometimes called quantic in older texts, is a polynomial whose nonzero terms all have the same degree. [1] For example, x 5 + 2 x 3 y 2 + 9 x y 4 {\displaystyle x^{5}+2x^{3}y^{2}+9xy^{4}} is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 5, in two variables; the sum of the exponents in each term is always 5.
Given a homogeneous polynomial of degree with real coefficients that takes only positive values, one gets a positively homogeneous function of degree / by raising it to the power /. So for example, the following function is positively homogeneous of degree 1 but not homogeneous: ( x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ) 1 2 . {\displaystyle \left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2 ...
On the other hand, if all polynomials in the reduced Gröbner basis a homogeneous ideal have a degree of at most D, the Gröbner basis can be computed by linear algebra on the vector space of polynomials of degree less than 2D, which has a dimension (). [1] So, the complexity of this computation is () = ().
More concretely, an n-ary quadratic form over a field K is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 2 in n variables with coefficients in K: (, …,) = = =,. This formula may be rewritten using matrices: let x be the column vector with components x 1 , ..., x n and A = ( a ij ) be the n × n matrix over K whose entries are the coefficients of q .
In mathematics, the Bombieri norm, named after Enrico Bombieri, is a norm on homogeneous polynomials with coefficient in or (there is also a version for non homogeneous univariate polynomials). This norm has many remarkable properties, the most important being listed in this article.
In the case of polynomials in more than one indeterminate, a polynomial is called homogeneous of degree n if all of its non-zero terms have degree n. The zero polynomial is homogeneous, and, as a homogeneous polynomial, its degree is undefined. [c] For example, x 3 y 2 + 7x 2 y 3 − 3x 5 is homogeneous of degree 5. For more details, see ...
In mathematics, a binary quadratic form is a quadratic homogeneous polynomial in two variables (,) = + +,where a, b, c are the coefficients.When the coefficients can be arbitrary complex numbers, most results are not specific to the case of two variables, so they are described in quadratic form.
Furthermore, if the polynomial has a degree 2d greater than two, there are significantly many more non-negative polynomials that cannot be expressed as sums of squares. [4] The following table summarizes in which cases every non-negative homogeneous polynomial (or a polynomial of even degree) can be represented as a sum of squares:
