  2. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    The theorem is used to find all rational roots of a polynomial, if any. It gives a finite number of possible fractions which can be checked to see if they are roots. If a rational root x = r is found, a linear polynomial ( x – r ) can be factored out of the polynomial using polynomial long division , resulting in a polynomial of lower degree ...

  3. Zeros and poles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeros_and_poles

    If f is a function that is meromorphic on the whole Riemann sphere, then it has a finite number of zeros and poles, and the sum of the orders of its poles equals the sum of the orders of its zeros. Every rational function is meromorphic on the whole Riemann sphere, and, in this case, the sum of orders of the zeros or of the poles is the maximum ...

  4. Riemann hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_hypothesis

    It has zeros at the negative even integers; that is, ζ(s) = 0 when s is one of −2, −4, −6, .... These are called its trivial zeros. The zeta function is also zero for other values of s, which are called nontrivial zeros. The Riemann hypothesis is concerned with the locations of these nontrivial zeros, and states that:

  5. Hilbert's Nullstellensatz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_Nullstellensatz

    In mathematics, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz (German for "theorem of zeros", or more literally, "zero-locus-theorem") is a theorem that establishes a fundamental relationship between geometry and algebra. This relationship is the basis of algebraic geometry. It relates algebraic sets to ideals in polynomial rings over algebraically closed fields.

  6. Thomae's function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomae's_function

    Their ratio is a rational number, and typically distributed similarly to Thomae's function. If pairs of positive integers m , n {\displaystyle m,n} are sampled from a distribution f ( n , m ) {\displaystyle f(n,m)} and used to generate ratios q = n / ( n + m ) {\displaystyle q=n/(n+m)} , this gives rise to a distribution g ( q ) {\displaystyle ...

  7. Descartes' rule of signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes'_rule_of_signs

    In particular, when the number of sign changes is zero or one, then there are exactly zero or one positive roots. A linear fractional transformation of the variable makes it possible to use the rule of signs to count roots in any interval. This is the basic idea of Budan's theorem and the Budan–Fourier theorem. Repeated division of an ...

  8. Galois theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_theory

    By the rational root theorem, this has no rational zeroes. Neither does it have linear factors modulo 2 or 3. The Galois group of f(x) modulo 2 is cyclic of order 6, because f(x) modulo 2 factors into polynomials of orders 2 and 3, (x 2 + x + 1)(x 3 + x 2 + 1). f(x) modulo 3 has no linear or quadratic factor, and hence is irreducible. Thus its ...

  9. Riemann zeta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_zeta_function

    The Riemann zeta function ζ(z) plotted with domain coloring. [1] The pole at = and two zeros on the critical line.. The Riemann zeta function or Euler–Riemann zeta function, denoted by the Greek letter ζ (), is a mathematical function of a complex variable defined as () = = = + + + for ⁡ >, and its analytic continuation elsewhere.
