  2. Multiplicity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    This means that 1 is a root of multiplicity 2, and −4 is a simple root (of multiplicity 1). The multiplicity of a root is the number of occurrences of this root in the complete factorization of the polynomial, by means of the fundamental theorem of algebra.

  3. Geometrical properties of polynomial roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_properties_of...

    For polynomials with real or complex coefficients, it is not possible to express a lower bound of the root separation in terms of the degree and the absolute values of the coefficients only, because a small change on a single coefficient transforms a polynomial with multiple roots into a square-free polynomial with a small root separation, and ...

  4. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    A root of a nonzero univariate polynomial P is a value a of x such that P(a) = 0. In other words, a root of P is a solution of the polynomial equation P(x) = 0 or a zero of the polynomial function defined by P. In the case of the zero polynomial, every number is a zero of the corresponding function, and the concept of root is rarely considered.

  5. Fundamental theorem of algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_algebra

    The n complex numbers , …, are the roots of the polynomial. If a root appears in several factors, it is a multiple root, and the number of its occurrences is, by definition, the multiplicity of the root.

  6. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_polynomial_equations

    The solutions of the system are in one-to-one correspondence with the roots of h and the multiplicity of each root of h equals the multiplicity of the corresponding solution. The solutions of the system are obtained by substituting the roots of h in the other equations. If h does not have any multiple root then g 0 is the derivative of h.

  7. Budan's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budan's_theorem

    In mathematics, Budan's theorem is a theorem for bounding the number of real roots of a polynomial in an interval, and computing the parity of this number. It was published in 1807 by François Budan de Boislaurent. A similar theorem was published independently by Joseph Fourier in 1820. Each of these theorems is a corollary of the other.

  8. Polynomial root-finding algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_root-finding...

    The class of methods is based on converting the problem of finding polynomial roots to the problem of finding eigenvalues of the companion matrix of the polynomial, [1] in principle, can use any eigenvalue algorithm to find the roots of the polynomial. However, for efficiency reasons one prefers methods that employ the structure of the matrix ...

  9. Minimal polynomial (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    The multiplicity of a root λ of μ A is the largest power m such that ker((A − λI n) m) strictly contains ker((A − λI n) m−1). In other words, increasing the exponent up to m will give ever larger kernels, but further increasing the exponent beyond m will just give the same kernel.
