  2. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In various areas of mathematics, the zero set of a function is the set of all its zeros. More precisely, if f : X → R {\displaystyle f:X\to \mathbb {R} } is a real-valued function (or, more generally, a function taking values in some additive group ), its zero set is f − 1 ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f^{-1}(0)} , the inverse image of { 0 ...

  3. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point_(mathematics)

    By Fermat's theorem, all local maxima and minima of a continuous function occur at critical points. Therefore, to find the local maxima and minima of a differentiable function, it suffices, theoretically, to compute the zeros of the gradient and the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix at these zeros.

  4. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    In numerical analysis, a root-finding algorithm is an algorithm for finding zeros, also called "roots", of continuous functions. A zero of a function f is a number x such that f ( x ) = 0 . As, generally, the zeros of a function cannot be computed exactly nor expressed in closed form , root-finding algorithms provide approximations to zeros.

    Later, the ability to show all of the steps explaining the calculation were added. [6] The company's emphasis gradually drifted towards focusing on providing step-by-step solutions for mathematical problems at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Symbolab relies on machine learning algorithms for both the search and solution aspects of the ...

  6. Rouché's theorem - Wikipedia

    Since has zeros inside the disk | | < (because >), it follows from Rouché's theorem that also has the same number of zeros inside the disk. One advantage of this proof over the others is that it shows not only that a polynomial must have a zero but the number of its zeros is equal to its degree (counting, as usual, multiplicity).

  7. Descartes' rule of signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes'_rule_of_signs

    To find the number of negative roots, change the signs of the coefficients of the terms with odd exponents, i.e., apply Descartes' rule of signs to the polynomial = + + This polynomial has two sign changes, as the sequence of signs is (−, +, +, −) , meaning that this second polynomial has two or zero positive roots; thus the original ...

  8. Aberth method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberth_method

    The Aberth method, or Aberth–Ehrlich method or Ehrlich–Aberth method, named after Oliver Aberth [1] and Louis W. Ehrlich, [2] is a root-finding algorithm developed in 1967 for simultaneous approximation of all the roots of a univariate polynomial.

  9. Zeros and poles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeros_and_poles

    Its zeros in the left halfplane are all the negative even integers, and the Riemann hypothesis is the conjecture that all other zeros are along Re(z) = 1/2. In a neighbourhood of a point , a nonzero meromorphic function f is the sum of a Laurent series with at most finite principal part (the terms with negative index values):
