Motivated by the recent work of William Y.C. Chen, in which he presents a way to solve cubic equations by considering the identity of Sylvester, we investigate the solutions obtained in this way. It leads us to a unified expression of the…
We derive the Cardano formula of cubic equations by completing the cube, and provide radical solutions to some algebraic equations of higher degree by completing powers. The main idea of completing powers arises from Harrison's center…
In this paper we show that Cardanos formula for the solution of cubic equations can be reduced to expressions involving only square roots if the real root is rational.
This paper presents a simplified method of expressing the solution to cubic equations in terms of function evaluation only. The method eliminates the need to manipulate the original coefficients of the cubic polynomial and makes the…
Building on a classification of zeros of cubic equations due to the $12$-th century Persian mathematician Sharaf al-Din Tusi, together with Smale's theory of {\it point estimation}, we derive an efficient recipe for computing high-precision…
We consider a sequence of sums of powers of the the roots of the cubic equation characterizing the Tribonacci sequences and derive its relationship with a particular Tribonacci sequence. Then we make a conjecture on the possible…
Omar Khayyam's studies on cubic equations inspired the 12th century Persian mathematician Sharaf al-Din Tusi to investigate the number of positive roots. According to the noted mathematical historian Rashed, Tusi analyzed the problem for…
We present a new method to calculate analytically the roots of the general complex polynomial of degree three. Thismethod is based on the approach of appropriated changes of variable involving an arbitrary parameter. The advantageof this…
This article introduces an intuitive function MY that simplifies solving cubic equations without venturing into the complex space. To many, it's quite strange that cubic root(s) are expressed using trigonometric functions in the…
We have proved in this paper that numbers can be expressed in algebraic form using one variable and two real rational quantities and thus sum of three cubes can also be expressed in algebraic form as a cubic polynomial. Using skeletal or…
The conditions for cubic equations, to have 3 real roots and 2 of the roots lie in the closed interval $[-1, 1]$ are given. These conditions are visualized. This question arises in physics in e.g. the theory of tops.
We prove a variant of the Sylvester-Gallai theorem for cubics (algebraic curves of degree three): If a finite set of sufficiently many points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is not contained in a cubic, then there is a cubic that contains exactly nine of…
A beautiful theorem of Thomas Price links the Fibonacci numbers and the Lucas polynomials to the plane geometry of an ellipse, generalizing a classic problem about circles. We give a brief history of the circle problem, an account of…
We consider the convolution equation $F*X=B$, where $F\in\mathbb{R}^{3\times 3}$ and $B\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ are given, and $X\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ is to be determined. The convolution equation can be regarded as a linear system…
Sylvester doubles sums, introduced first by Sylvester are symmetric expressions of the roots of two polynomials. Sylvester's definition of double sums makes no sense in the presence of multiple roots, since the definition involves…
In 1853 Sylvester stated and proved an elegant formula that expresses the polynomial subresultants in terms of the roots of the input polynomials. Sylvester's formula was also recently proved by Lascoux and Pragacz by using multi-Schur…
For solving the continuous Sylvester equation, a class of the multiplicative splitting iteration method is presented. We consider two symmetric positive definite splittings for each coefficient matrix of the continuous Sylvester equations…
An observation by J-P. Serre implies that cubic polynomials are unique among generic monic polynomials of degree 2 or higher in that they have a root that is a power series in the discriminant of the polynomial. We provide formulas for this…
We provide a solvability criteria for a depressed cubic equation in domains $\bz_p^{*},\bz_p,\bq_p$. We show that, in principal, the Cardano method is not always applicable for such equations. Moreover, the numbers of solutions of the…
Inspired by the relation between the algebra of complex numbers and plane geometry, William Rowan Hamilton sought an algebra of triples for application to three dimensional geometry. Unable to multiply and divide triples, he invented a…
