If the discriminant is positive, the number of non-real roots is a multiple of 4. That is, there is a nonnegative integer k ≤ n/4 such that there are 2k pairs of complex conjugate roots and n − 4k real roots. If the discriminant is negative, the number of non-real roots is not a multiple of 4.
The discriminant of K is 49 = 7 2. Accordingly, the volume of the fundamental domain is 7 and K is only ramified at 7. In mathematics, the discriminant of an algebraic number field is a numerical invariant that, loosely speaking, measures the size of the (ring of integers of the) algebraic number field.
Linear discriminant analysis (LDA), normal discriminant analysis (NDA), or discriminant function analysis is a generalization of Fisher's linear discriminant, a method used in statistics and other fields, to find a linear combination of features that characterizes or separates two or more classes of objects or events.
For this converse the field discriminant is needed. This is the Dedekind discriminant theorem. In the example above, the discriminant of the number field () with x 3 − x − 1 = 0 is −23, and as we have seen the 23-adic place ramifies. The Dedekind discriminant tells us it is the only ultrametric place that does.
The discriminant of a polynomial is a quantity that depends on the coefficients and determines various properties of the roots. Discriminant may also refer to its various generalizations: Mathematics
By contrast, the discriminant () does not depend on any order, so that Galois theory implies that the discriminant is a polynomial function of the coefficients of (). The determinant formula is proved below in three ways.
Usually the number of columns of W and the number of rows of H in NMF are selected so the product WH will become an approximation to V. The full decomposition of V then amounts to the two non-negative matrices W and H as well as a residual U, such that: V = WH + U. The elements of the residual matrix can either be negative or positive.
The following table shows some orders of small discriminant of quadratic fields. The maximal order of an algebraic number field is its ring of integers, and the discriminant of the maximal order is the discriminant of the field. The discriminant of a non-maximal order is the product of the discriminant of the corresponding maximal order by the ...
