Statistical texts differ in the ways they test the significance of coefficients of lower-order terms in polynomial regression models. One reason for this difference is probably the concern of some ...

Orthogonal polynomials have long played a pivotal role in quantum mechanics, offering a robust analytic framework to address exactly solvable models. Their applications range from providing explicit ...

In this paper we consider transformations of sequences of orthogonal polynomials associated with a Hermitian linear functional ℒ using spectral transformations of the corresponding C-function F ℒ . We ...

Vesselin Dimitrov’s proof of the Schinzel-Zassenhaus conjecture quantifies the way special values of polynomials push each other apart. In the physical world, objects often push each other apart in an ...

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 ...
