  2. Zeros and poles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeros_and_poles

    If f is a function that is meromorphic on the whole Riemann sphere, then it has a finite number of zeros and poles, and the sum of the orders of its poles equals the sum of the orders of its zeros. Every rational function is meromorphic on the whole Riemann sphere, and, in this case, the sum of orders of the zeros or of the poles is the maximum ...

  3. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In mathematics, a zero (also sometimes called a root) of a real-, complex-, or generally vector-valued function, is a member of the domain of such that () vanishes at ; that is, the function attains the value of 0 at , or equivalently, is a solution to the equation () =. [1]

  4. Rational function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

    The rational function () = is equal to 1 for all x except 0, where there is a removable singularity. The sum, product, or quotient (excepting division by the zero polynomial) of two rational functions is itself a rational function.

  5. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    If the rational root test finds no rational solutions, then the only way to express the solutions algebraically uses cube roots. But if the test finds a rational solution r, then factoring out (x – r) leaves a quadratic polynomial whose two roots, found with the quadratic formula, are the remaining two roots of the cubic, avoiding cube roots.

  6. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    In numerical analysis, a root-finding algorithm is an algorithm for finding zeros, also called "roots", of continuous functions. A zero of a function f is a number x such that f(x) = 0. As, generally, the zeros of a function cannot be computed exactly nor expressed in closed form, root-finding

  7. Pole–zero plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole–zero_plot

    A pole-zero plot shows the location in the complex plane of the poles and zeros of the transfer function of a dynamic system, such as a controller, compensator, sensor, equalizer, filter, or communications channel. By convention, the poles of the system are indicated in the plot by an X while the zeros are indicated by a circle or O.

  8. Elliptic rational functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_rational_functions

    The zeroes of the elliptic rational function will be the zeroes of the polynomial in the numerator of the function. The following derivation of the zeroes of the elliptic rational function is analogous to that of determining the zeroes of the Chebyshev polynomials (Lutovac, Tošić & Evans 2001, § 12.6). Using the fact that for any z

  9. Thomae's function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomae's_function

    A natural follow-up question one might ask is if there is a function which is continuous on the rational numbers and discontinuous on the irrational numbers. This turns out to be impossible. The set of discontinuities of any function must be an F σ set. If such a function existed, then the irrationals would be an F σ set.
