On the structure of polynomial roots
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 June 2021
Extract
This Article explores how root multiplicity and polynomial degree influence the structure of the roots of a univariant polynomial. After setting up the notation, we draw upon a result derived in [1], and show that all polynomial roots have a common underlying structure comprising just five parameters. Finally we present some examples involving the lower polynomials.
