  2. Quartic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_equation

    In mathematics, a quartic equation is one which can be expressed as a quartic function equaling zero. The general form of a quartic equation is Graph of a polynomial function of degree 4, with its 4 roots and 3 critical points.

  3. Quartic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function

    Each coordinate of the intersection points of two conic sections is a solution of a quartic equation. The same is true for the intersection of a line and a torus.It follows that quartic equations often arise in computational geometry and all related fields such as computer graphics, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing and optics.

  4. Resolvent (Galois theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolvent_(Galois_theory)

    Conversely, given a subgroup G of S n, an invariant of G is a resolvent invariant for G if it is not an invariant of any bigger subgroup of S n. [1] Finding invariants for a given subgroup G of S n is relatively easy; one can sum the orbit of a monomial under the action of S n. However, it may occur that the resulting polynomial is an invariant ...

  5. Laguerre's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguerre's_method

    Even if the "drastic set of assumptions" does not work well for some particular polynomial p(x), then p(x) can be transformed into a related polynomial r for which the assumptions are viable; e.g. by first shifting the origin towards a suitable complex number w, giving a second polynomial q(x) = p(x − w), that give distinct roots clearly distinct magnitudes, if necessary (which it will be if ...

  6. Resolvent cubic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolvent_cubic

    If a 1 = 0, then R 3 (y) = y 3 + 2a 2 y 2 + (a 2 2 − 4a 0)y. The roots of this polynomial are 0 and the roots of the quadratic polynomial y 2 + 2 a 2 y + a 2 2 − 4 a 0 . If a 2 2 − 4 a 0 < 0 , then the product of the two roots of this polynomial is smaller than 0 and therefore it has a root greater than 0 (which happens to be − a 2 + 2 ...

  7. Hermite interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite_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. Instead, Hermite interpolation computes a polynomial of degree less than n such that the polynomial and its first few derivatives have the same values at m (fewer than n ) given points as the given function ...

  8. Quartic plane curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_plane_curve

    The cruciform curve, or cross curve is a quartic plane curve given by the equation = where a and b are two parameters determining the shape of the curve. The cruciform curve is related by a standard quadratic transformation, x ↦ 1/x, y ↦ 1/y to the ellipse a 2 x 2 + b 2 y 2 = 1, and is therefore a rational plane algebraic curve of genus zero.

  9. Steffensen's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffensen's_method

    The simplest form of the formula for Steffensen's method occurs when it is used to find a zero of a real function; that is, to find the real value that satisfies () =.Near the solution , the derivative of the function, ′, is supposed to approximately satisfy < ′ <; this condition ensures that is an adequate correction-function for , for finding its own solution, although it is not required ...
