  2. Bézout's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézout's_identity

    Here the greatest common divisor of 0 and 0 is taken to be 0.The integers x and y are called Bézout coefficients for (a, b); they are not unique.A pair of Bézout coefficients can be computed by the extended Euclidean algorithm, and this pair is, in the case of integers one of the two pairs such that | x | ≤ | b/d | and | y | ≤ | a/d |; equality occurs only if one of a and b is a multiple ...

  3. Solving quadratic equations with continued fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

    If this infinite continued fraction converges at all, it must converge to one of the roots of the monic polynomial x 2 + bx + c = 0. Unfortunately, this particular continued fraction does not converge to a finite number in every case. We can easily see that this is so by considering the quadratic formula and a monic polynomial with real ...

  4. Indeterminate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminate_system

    In the case of a linear system, the system may be said to be underspecified, in which case the presence of more than one solution would imply an infinite number of solutions (since the system would be describable in terms of at least one free variable [2]), but that property does not extend to nonlinear systems (e.g., the system with the ...

  5. Proofs involving the addition of natural numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_involving_the...

    We prove commutativity (a + b = b + a) by applying induction on the natural number b. First we prove the base cases b = 0 and b = S(0) = 1 (i.e. we prove that 0 and 1 commute with everything). The base case b = 0 follows immediately from the identity element property (0 is an additive identity), which has been proved above: a + 0 = a = 0 + a.

  6. Abel–Ruffini theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel–Ruffini_theorem

    Abel wrote: "The first and, if I am not mistaken, the only one who, before me, has sought to prove the impossibility of the algebraic solution of general equations is the mathematician Ruffini. But his memoir is so complicated that it is very difficult to determine the validity of his argument.

  7. Axiom of infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_infinity

    Using first-order logic primitive symbols, the axiom can be expressed as follows: [2] ( ( ()) ( ( (( =))))). In English, this sentence means: "there exists a set 𝐈 such that the empty set is an element of it, and for every element of 𝐈, there exists an element of 𝐈 such that is an element of , the elements of are also elements of , and nothing else is an element of ."

  8. Sylvester equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_equation

    Proof. The equation A X + X B = C {\displaystyle AX+XB=C} is a linear system with m n {\displaystyle mn} unknowns and the same number of equations. Hence it is uniquely solvable for any given C {\displaystyle C} if and only if the homogeneous equation A X + X B = 0 {\displaystyle AX+XB=0} admits only the trivial solution 0 {\displaystyle 0} .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyapunov_equation

    The Lyapunov equation, named after the Russian mathematician Aleksandr Lyapunov, is a matrix equation used in the stability analysis of linear dynamical systems. [1] [2]In particular, the discrete-time Lyapunov equation (also known as Stein equation) for is
