  2. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    For polynomials in two or more variables, the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables in the term; the degree (sometimes called the total degree) of the polynomial is again the maximum of the degrees of all terms in the polynomial. For example, the polynomial x 2 y 2 + 3x 3 + 4y has degree 4, the same degree as the term x ...

  3. Gröbner basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gröbner_basis

    Once a monomial ordering is fixed, the terms of a polynomial (product of a monomial with its nonzero coefficient) are naturally ordered by decreasing monomials (for this order). This makes the representation of a polynomial as a sorted list of pairs coefficient–exponent vector a canonical representation of the polynomials (that is, two ...

  4. Buchberger's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchberger's_algorithm

    Euclidean algorithm for polynomial greatest common divisor computation and Gaussian elimination of linear systems are special cases of Buchberger's algorithm when the number of variables or the degrees of the polynomials are respectively equal to one. For other Gröbner basis algorithms, see Gröbner basis § Algorithms and implementations.

  5. Monomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomial

    In mathematics, a monomial is, roughly speaking, a polynomial which has only one term.Two definitions of a monomial may be encountered: A monomial, also called a power product or primitive monomial, [1] is a product of powers of variables with nonnegative integer exponents, or, in other words, a product of variables, possibly with repetitions. [2]

  6. Monomial order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomial_order

    A concrete recipe for the graded reverse lexicographic order is thus to compare by the total degree first, then compare exponents of the last indeterminate x n but reversing the outcome (so the monomial with smaller exponent is larger in the ordering), followed (as always only in case of a tie) by a similar comparison of x n−1, and so forth ...

  7. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    Polynomials of degree one, two or three are respectively linear polynomials, quadratic polynomials and cubic polynomials. [8] For higher degrees, the specific names are not commonly used, although quartic polynomial (for degree four) and quintic polynomial (for degree five) are sometimes used. The names for the degrees may be applied to the ...

  8. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    The largest zero of this polynomial which corresponds to the second largest zero of the original polynomial is found at 3 and is circled in red. The degree 5 polynomial is now divided by () to obtain = + + which is shown in yellow. The zero for this polynomial is found at 2 again using Newton's method and is circled in yellow.

  9. Order of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_a_polynomial

    the multiplicative order, that is, the number of times the polynomial is divisible by some value; the order of the polynomial considered as a power series, that is, the degree of its non-zero term of lowest degree; or; the order of a spline, either the degree+1 of the polynomials defining the spline or the number of knot points used to ...
