Deciding whether or not two polynomials have isomoprhic splitting fields over the rationals is the Field Isomorphism Problem. We consider polynomials of the form $f_n(x) = x^4-nx^3-6x^2+nx+1$ with $n \neq 3$ a positive integer and we let…

In this paper we present a complete method for finding the roots of all polynomials of the form $\phi(z)=c_n z^n+c_{n-1} z^{n-1}+\dots+c_1 z+c_0$ over a given octonion division algebra. When $\phi(z)$ is monic we also consider the companion…

We consider the simplest quartic number fields $\mathbb{K}_m$ defined by the irreducible quartic polynomials $$x^4-mx^3-6x^2+mx+1,$$ where $m$ runs over the positive rational integers such that the odd part of $m^2+16$ is squarefree. In…

Every linear, quadratic or cubic polynomial having all real zeros is the derivative of a polynomial having all real zeros. The statement is false for higher degree polynomials. In particular, not every fourth degree polynomial with real…

We show that a monic univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero, with $k$ distinct non-zero known roots, is determined by its $k$ proper leading coefficients by providing an explicit algorithm for computing the multiplicities…

We prove that any pair of bivariate trinomials has at most 5 isolated roots in the positive quadrant. The best previous upper bounds independent of the polynomial degrees were much larger, e.g., 248832 (for just the non-degenerate roots)…

We construct a family of quartic polynomials with cyclic Galois group and show that the roots of the polynomials are fundamental units or generate a subgroup of index 5.

Unlike the Hamilton quaternion algebra, the split-quaternions contain nontrivial zero divisors. In general speaking, it is hard to find the solutions of equations in algebras containing zero divisor. In this paper, we manage to derive…

Smooth algebraic plane quartics over algebraically closed fields have 28 bitangent lines. Their tropical counterparts often have infinitely many bitangents. They are grouped into seven equivalence classes, one for each linear system…

A novel very simple method for finding roots of polynomials over finite fields has been proposed. The essence of the proposed method is to search the roots via nested cycles over the subgroups of the multiplicative group of the Galois…

First, we show that Sturm algorithm and Sylvester algorithm, which compute the number of real roots of a given univariate polynomial, lead to two dual tridiagonal determinantal representations of the polynomial. Next, we show that the…

Based on the Bezout approach we propose a simple algorithm to determine the {\tt gcd} of two polynomials which doesn't need division, like the Euclidean algorithm, or determinant calculations, like the Sylvester matrix algorithm. The…

A skew polynomial ring $R=K[x;\sigma,\delta]$ is a ring of polynomials with non-commutative multiplication. This creates a difference between left and right divisibility, and thus a concept of left and right evaluations and roots. A…

In this work we consider a given root of a family of n-degree polynomials as a one-variable function that depends only on the independent term. Then we prove that this function satisfies several ordinary differential equations (ODE). More…
