A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...

In this paper, we establish hardness and approximation results for various Lp-ball constrained homogeneous polynomial optimization problems, where p ∈ [2, ∞]. Specifically, we prove that for any given ...

A mathematician has uncovered a way of answering some of algebra's oldest problems. University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger, has revealed a potentially game-changing ...

The determination of the support of the equilibrium measure in the presence of an external field is important in the theory of weighted polynomials on the real line. Here we present a general ...

Quantum mechanics has long provided a vibrant framework for understanding the microscopic world, with mathematical constructs such as orthogonal polynomials playing a pivotal role. These specialised ...

A mathematician has built an algebraic solution to an equation that was once believed impossible to solve. The equations are fundamental to maths as well as science, where they have broad applications ...
