The culmination of these efforts is Taylor's theorem, which roughly states that every differentiable function locally looks like a polynomial, and the Weierstrass approximation theorem, which states that every continuous function defined on a compact interval of the real axis can be approximated on the whole interval as closely as desired by a polynomial.
Depending on the degree of the polynomial to be considered, simply checking if the polynomial has linear factors can eliminate several cases, and then resorting to checking divisibility of some other irreducible polynomials, however Eisenstein's criterion can be used to more efficiently determine irreducibility.

The Ehrhart polynomial of a convex lattice polytope P counts the number of integer points in integral dilates of P. We will discuss what information about P can be obtained by expanding the Ehrhart polynomial in different bases, and present new linear inequalities satisfied by the coefficients of Ehrhart polynomials.
We show that faster and simpler polynomial time approximation schemes for several scheduling problems can be obtained by reducing the number of jobs to a constant (that depends on the desired approximation error), and applying enumeration or dynamic programming afterwards.

 Stating and Manipulating Periodicity in the Polytope Model. Applications to Program Analysis and Optimization.
The main contribution of this thesis is an enhancement of this model, by integrating the periodic character of extremal integer points of the Z-polyhedron, using "periodic polyhedra".
Using this, we derive a new condition for which the Ehrhart polynomial of a Z-polyhedron is non-periodic.
In one of the two cases, we also give a new method for computing this polynomial, whose complexity is polynomial for a fixed dimension.

In particular, multivariate polynomial functions arise in many situations resulting from linearized subscripts in array reference functions, or from induction variable recognition, and compilers fail in handling such expressions.
Bernstein polynomials are particular polynomials that form a basis for the space of polynomials.
Due to the Bernstein convex hull property, the value of the polynomial is then bounded by the values of the minimum and maximum Bernstein coefficients.

In the 1960's Eugene Ehrhart discovered that for any rational d-polytope P; the number of lattice points, i(P,m), in the mth dilated polytope mP is always a quasi-polynomial of degree d in m; whose period divides the least common multiple of the denominators of the coordinates of the vertices of P.
In the first part of my thesis, motivated by a conjecture given by De Loera, which gives a simple formula of the Ehrhart polynomial of an integral cyclic polytope, we define a more general family of polytopes, lattice-face polytopes, and show that these polytopes have the same simple form of Ehrhart polynomials.

 The Ehrhart polynomial of the Birkhoff polytope
We present a new, complex-analytic way to compute the Ehrhart polynomial of the Birkhoff polytope, that is, the function counting the integer points in the dilated polytope.
The leading term of the Ehrhart polynomial is--up to a trivial factor--the volume of the polytope, which is one reason why we are interested in this counting function.
We implemented our methods in the form of a computer program, which yielded the Ehrhart polynomial (and hence the volume) of the ninth Birkhoff polytope.

Application to chromatic polynomials (SKIP, IF TIME IS SHORT) Given a graph G with m vertices, let chi(n) be the number of ways to assign colors to the vertices of G so that no vertices of G that share an edge are assigned the same color, where the set of allowed colors has size n.
Claim: chi(n) is a polynomial in n, and chi(-1) is (-1)^m times the number of acyclic orientations of G. Example: Let G be a cycle of length 4.
Note that there might be exponentially many such pieces, as a function of the number of edges of G, but G is fixed: the number of pieces doesn’t vary as n varies.

Its worst-case computation time for a single Ehrhart polynomial is exponential in the input size, even for fixed dimensions.
The worst-case size of such an Ehrhart polynomial (measured in bits needed to represent the polynomial) is also exponential in the input size.
