  2. Polynomial mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_mapping

    When V, W are finite-dimensional vector spaces and are viewed as algebraic varieties, then a polynomial mapping is precisely a morphism of algebraic varieties. One fundamental outstanding question regarding polynomial mappings is the Jacobian conjecture, which concerns the sufficiency of a polynomial mapping to be invertible.

  3. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    In mathematics, a polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of indeterminates (also called variables) and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and exponentiation to nonnegative integer powers, and has a finite number of terms.

  4. Jacobian conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_conjecture

    The strong real Jacobian conjecture was that a real polynomial map with a nowhere vanishing Jacobian determinant has a smooth global inverse. That is equivalent to asking whether such a map is topologically a proper map, in which case it is a covering map of a simply connected manifold, hence invertible. Sergey Pinchuk constructed two variable ...

  5. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    The first polynomial factorization algorithm was published by Theodor von Schubert in 1793. [1] Leopold Kronecker rediscovered Schubert's algorithm in 1882 and extended it to multivariate polynomials and coefficients in an algebraic extension. But most of the knowledge on this topic is not older than circa 1965 and the first computer algebra ...

  6. Orthogonal polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_polynomials

    The most widely used orthogonal polynomials are the classical orthogonal polynomials, consisting of the Hermite polynomials, the Laguerre polynomials and the Jacobi polynomials. The Gegenbauer polynomials form the most important class of Jacobi polynomials; they include the Chebyshev polynomials, and the Legendre polynomials as special

  7. Germ (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A map germ at x in X that maps the point x in X to the point y in Y is denoted as f : ( X , x ) → ( Y , y ) . {\displaystyle f:(X,x)\to (Y,y).} When using this notation, f is then intended as an entire equivalence class of maps, using the same letter f for any representative map.

  8. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians. [1]

  9. Eisenstein's criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenstein's_criterion

    Consider the polynomial Q(x) = 3x 4 + 15x 2 + 10.In order for Eisenstein's criterion to apply for a prime number p it must divide both non-leading coefficients 15 and 10, which means only p = 5 could work, and indeed it does since 5 does not divide the leading coefficient 3, and its square 25 does not divide the constant coefficient 10.
