  2. Polynomial root-finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_root-finding

    So, except for very low degrees, root finding of polynomials consists of finding approximations of the roots. By the fundamental theorem of algebra, a polynomial of degree n has exactly n real or complex roots counting multiplicities. It follows that the problem of root finding for polynomials may be split in three different subproblems;

  3. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    Every polynomial function is continuous, smooth, and entire. The evaluation of a polynomial is the computation of the corresponding polynomial function; that is, the evaluation consists of substituting a numerical value to each indeterminate and carrying out the indicated multiplications and additions.

  4. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    This polynomial is further reduced to = + + which is shown in blue and yields a zero of −5. The final root of the original polynomial may be found by either using the final zero as an initial guess for Newton's method, or by reducing () and solving the linear equation. As can be seen, the expected roots of −8, −5, −3, 2, 3, and 7 were ...

  5. Polynomial method in combinatorics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_method_in...

    In mathematics, the polynomial method is an algebraic approach to combinatorics problems that involves capturing some combinatorial structure using polynomials and proceeding to argue about their algebraic properties. Recently, the polynomial method has led to the development of remarkably simple solutions to several long-standing open problems ...

  6. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors

    Using the Leibniz formula for determinants, the left-hand side of equation is a polynomial function of the variable λ and the degree of this polynomial is n, the order of the matrix A. Its coefficients depend on the entries of A, except that its term of degree n is always (−1) n λ n. This polynomial is called the characteristic polynomial of A.

  7. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_polynomial_equations

    The Maple function RootFinding[Isolate] takes as input any polynomial system over the rational numbers (if some coefficients are floating point numbers, they are converted to rational numbers) and outputs the real solutions represented either (optionally) as intervals of rational numbers or as floating point approximations of arbitrary ...

  8. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    Conversely, shows that any integer-valued polynomial is an integer linear combination of these binomial coefficient polynomials. More generally, for any subring R of a characteristic 0 field K , a polynomial in K [ t ] takes values in R at all integers if and only if it is an R -linear combination of binomial coefficient polynomials.

  9. Polynomial evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_evaluation

    Horner's method evaluates a polynomial using repeated bracketing: + + + + + = + (+ (+ (+ + (+)))). This method reduces the number of multiplications and additions to just Horner's method is so common that a computer instruction "multiply–accumulate operation" has been added to many computer processors, which allow doing the addition and multiplication operations in one combined step.
