  2. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_polynomial_equations

    Most but not all overdetermined systems, when constructed with random coefficients, are inconsistent. For example, the system x 3 – 1 = 0, x 2 – 1 = 0 is overdetermined (having two equations but only one unknown), but it is not inconsistent since it has the solution x = 1.

  3. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  4. Elliptic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve

    Graphs of curves y 2 = x 3x and y 2 = x 3x + 1. Although the formal definition of an elliptic curve requires some background in algebraic geometry, it is possible to describe some features of elliptic curves over the real numbers using only introductory algebra and geometry.

  5. Polynomial identity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_identity_testing

    More formally, a PIT algorithm is given an arithmetic circuit that computes a polynomial p in a field, and decides whether p is the zero polynomial. Determining the computational complexity required for polynomial identity testing, in particular finding deterministic algorithms for PIT, is one of the most important open problems in algebraic ...

  6. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

    An x value where the y value of the red, or the blue, curve vanishes (becomes 0) gives rise to a local extremum (marked "HP", "TP"), or an inflection point ("WP"), of the black curve, respectively. In geometry , curve sketching (or curve tracing ) are techniques for producing a rough idea of overall shape of a plane curve given its equation ...

  7. Matching polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_polynomial

    where H n (x) is the "probabilist's Hermite polynomial" (1) in the definition of Hermite polynomials. These facts were observed by Godsil (1981). If G is a forest, then its matching polynomial is equal to the characteristic polynomial of its adjacency matrix. If G is a path or a cycle, then M G (x) is a Chebyshev polynomial.

    In practice, one sets = + +, and then + [,,] and [,,].; The division polynomials form a generic elliptic divisibility sequence over the ring [,,,] / ().; If an ...

  9. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    In mathematics, a generating function is a representation of an infinite sequence of numbers as the coefficients of a formal power series.Generating functions are often expressed in closed form (rather than as a series), by some expression involving operations on the formal series.
