  2. Multiplicity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, the prime factorization of the integer 60 is 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5, the multiplicity of the prime factor 2 is 2, while the multiplicity of each of the prime factors 3 and 5 is 1. Thus, 60 has four prime factors allowing for multiplicities, but only three distinct prime factors.

  3. Companion matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companion_matrix

    Rather, the Jordan canonical form of () contains one Jordan block for each distinct root; if the multiplicity of the root is m, then the block is an m × m matrix with on the diagonal and 1 in the entries just above the diagonal. in this case, V becomes a confluent Vandermonde matrix.

  4. Multiset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiset

    These three multiplicities define three multisets of eigenvalues, which may be all different: Let A be a n × n matrix in Jordan normal form that has a single eigenvalue. Its multiplicity is n, its multiplicity as a root of the minimal polynomial is the size of the largest Jordan block, and its geometric multiplicity is the number of Jordan blocks.

  5. Multiplicative function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_function

    In number theory, a multiplicative function is an arithmetic function f(n) of a positive integer n with the property that f(1) = 1 and = () whenever a and b are coprime.. An arithmetic function f(n) is said to be completely multiplicative (or totally multiplicative) if f(1) = 1 and f(ab) = f(a)f(b) holds for all positive integers a and b, even when they are not coprime.

  6. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    It is easy to find situations for which Newton's method oscillates endlessly between two distinct values. For example, for Newton's method as applied to a function f to oscillate between 0 and 1, it is only necessary that the tangent line to f at 0 intersects the x-axis at 1 and that the tangent line to f at 1 intersects the x-axis at 0.

  7. Algebraic connectivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_connectivity

    An example graph, with 6 vertices, diameter 3, connectivity 1, and algebraic connectivity 0.722 The algebraic connectivity (also known as Fiedler value or Fiedler eigenvalue after Miroslav Fiedler ) of a graph G is the second-smallest eigenvalue (counting multiple eigenvalues separately) of the Laplacian matrix of G .

  8. Bézout's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézout's_theorem

    This proves Bézout's theorem, if the multiplicity of a common zero is defined as the multiplicity of the corresponding linear factor of the U-resultant. As for the preceding proof, the equality of this multiplicity with the definition by deformation results from the continuity of the U -resultant as a function of the coefficients of the f i ...

  9. Minimal polynomial (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_polynomial_(linear...

    For example, if A is a multiple aI n of the identity matrix, then its minimal polynomial is X − a since the kernel of aI n − A = 0 is already the entire space; on the other hand its characteristic polynomial is (X − a) n (the only eigenvalue is a, and the degree of the characteristic polynomial is always equal to the dimension of the space).
