Chebyshev polynomials, a central class of orthogonal polynomials, have long been pivotal in numerical analysis, approximation theory and the solution of differential equations. Their inherent ...
New work establishes a tighter connection between the rank of a polynomial and the extent to which it favors particular outputs. When you deposit a quarter and turn the crank on a gumball machine, the ...
Before being mortally wounded in a duel at age 20, Évariste Galois discovered the hidden structure of polynomial equations. By studying the relationships between their solutions — rather than the ...
