  2. Hilbert's seventeenth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_seventeenth_problem

    Furthermore, if the polynomial has a degree 2d greater than two, there are significantly many more non-negative polynomials that cannot be expressed as sums of squares. [4] The following table summarizes in which cases every non-negative homogeneous polynomial (or a polynomial of even degree) can be represented as a sum of squares:

  3. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Given a quadratic polynomial of the form + + it is possible to factor out the coefficient a, and then complete the square for the resulting monic polynomial. Example: + + = [+ +] = [(+) +] = (+) + = (+) + This process of factoring out the coefficient a can further be simplified by only factorising it out of the first 2 terms. The integer at the ...

    First, it can be false in practice. A theoretical polynomial algorithm may have extremely large constant factors or exponents, rendering it impractical. For example, the problem of deciding whether a graph G contains H as a minor, where H is fixed, can be solved in a running time of O(n 2), [25] where n is the number of vertices in G.

  5. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...

  6. Tensor sketch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_sketch

    In statistics, machine learning and algorithms, a tensor sketch is a type of dimensionality reduction that is particularly efficient when applied to vectors that have tensor structure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Such a sketch can be used to speed up explicit kernel methods , bilinear pooling in neural networks and is a cornerstone in many numerical linear ...

  7. List of polynomial topics - Wikipedia

    Coefficient: An expression multiplying one of the monomials of the polynomial. Root (or zero) of a polynomial: Given a polynomial p(x), the x values that satisfy p(x) = 0 are called roots (or zeroes) of the polynomial p. Graphing. End behaviour – Concavity – Orientation – Tangency point – Inflection point – Point where concavity changes.

  8. Tschirnhaus transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tschirnhaus_transformation

    For example, finding a substitution = + + for a cubic equation of degree =, = + + + such that substituting = yields a new equation ′ = + ′ + ′ + ′ such that ′ =, ′ =, or both. More generally, it may be defined conveniently by means of field theory , as the transformation on minimal polynomials implied by a different choice of ...

  9. Hermite interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite_interpolation

    In numerical analysis, Hermite interpolation, named after Charles Hermite, is a method of polynomial interpolation, which generalizes Lagrange interpolation.Lagrange interpolation allows computing a polynomial of degree less than n that takes the same value at n given points as a given function.
