  2. Multiplicity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    This definition allows us to state Bézout's theorem and its generalizations precisely. This definition generalizes the multiplicity of a root of a polynomial in the following way. The roots of a polynomial f are points on the affine line, which are the components of the algebraic set defined by the polynomial.

  3. Bézout's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézout's_theorem

    This proves Bézout's theorem, if the multiplicity of a common zero is defined as the multiplicity of the corresponding linear factor of the U-resultant. As for the preceding proof, the equality of this multiplicity with the definition by deformation results from the continuity of the U -resultant as a function of the coefficients of the f i ...

  4. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In various areas of mathematics, the zero set of a function is the set of all its zeros. More precisely, if f : X → R {\displaystyle f:X\to \mathbb {R} } is a real-valued function (or, more generally, a function taking values in some additive group ), its zero set is f − 1 ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f^{-1}(0)} , the inverse image of { 0 ...

  5. Transcendental number theory - Wikipedia

    Here "many zeros" may mean many distinct zeros, or as few as one zero but with a high multiplicity, or even many zeros all with high multiplicity. Charles Hermite used auxiliary functions that approximated the functions e k x {\displaystyle e^{kx}} for each natural number k {\displaystyle k} in order to prove the transcendence of e ...

  6. Hilbert's Nullstellensatz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_Nullstellensatz

    In mathematics, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz (German for "theorem of zeros", or more literally, "zero-locus-theorem") is a theorem that establishes a fundamental relationship between geometry and algebra. This relationship is the basis of algebraic geometry. It relates algebraic sets to ideals in polynomial rings over algebraically closed fields.

  7. Multiset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiset

    In mathematics, a multiset (or bag, or mset) is a modification of the concept of a set that, unlike a set, [1] allows for multiple instances for each of its elements.The number of instances given for each element is called the multiplicity of that element in the multiset.

  8. Explicit formulae for L-functions - Wikipedia

    The other terms also correspond to zeros: The dominant term li(x) comes from the pole at s = 1, considered as a zero of multiplicity −1, and the remaining small terms come from the trivial zeros. This formula says that the zeros of the Riemann zeta function control the oscillations of primes around their "expected" positions.

  9. Zeros and poles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeros_and_poles

    Its zeros in the left halfplane are all the negative even integers, and the Riemann hypothesis is the conjecture that all other zeros are along Re(z) = 1/2. In a neighbourhood of a point z 0 , {\displaystyle z_{0},} a nonzero meromorphic function f is the sum of a Laurent series with at most finite principal part (the terms with negative index ...
