Topic: Polynomial ring


  
  Polynomial - Wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Polynomials are important because they are the simplest functions: their definition involves only addition and multiplication (since the powers are just shorthands for repeated multiplications).
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.
Formation of the polynomial ring, together with forming factor rings by factoring out ideals[?], are important tools for constructing new rings out of known ones.

 Graded Polynomial Rings
Given a polynomial f of the graded polynomial ring P, this function returns the weighted degree of f, which is the maximum of the weighted degrees of all monomials that occur in f.
Given a polynomial f of the graded polynomial ring P, this function returns whether f is homogeneous with respect to the weights on the variables of P (i.e., whether the weighted degrees of the monomials of f are all equal).
Given an ideal I of the graded polynomial ring P, this function returns whether I is homogeneous with respect to the weights on the variables of P (i.e., whether I possesses a basis consisting of homogeneous polynomials alone).

 13: Commutative rings and algebras
Of particular interest are several classes of rings of interest in number theory, field theory, algebraic geometry, and related areas; however, other classes of rings arise, and a rich structure theory arises to analyze commutative rings in general, using the concepts of ideals, localizations, and homological algebra.
Conversely, the study of a ring is often focused by the examination of related fields, such as the quotients by each of the maximal ideals, or, in the case of integral domains, by the quotient field.
Rings associated to group a group G shed light on the structure of G, particular rings of invariants k(V)^G (given a group action on a vector space V), cohomology rings H^*(G,Z), group rings Z[G], and representation rings R(G).

 More on Polynomial
Because of their simple structure, polynomials are very easy to evaluate, and are used extensively in numerical analysis for polynomial interpolation or to numerically integrate more complex functions.
Which algorithm is used for a given polynomial depends on the form of the polynomial and the chosen x.
To every polynomial f in R[X], one can associate a polynomial function with domain and range equal to R. One obtains the value of this function for a given argument r by everywhere replacing the symbol X in f's expression by r.

 Polynomial ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In abstract algebra, a polynomial ring is the set of polynomials in one or more variables with coefficients in a ring.
Every commutative ring that is a finitely-generated algebra over a field can be written as a quotient of a polynomial ring.
An interesting example of a ring obtained by using polynomials is the ring of Frobenius polynomials, where the ring multiplication is given by function composition, rather than by polynomial multiplication.

In the algebra side, the universal Witt ring W(R) of a commutative ring R is a ~-ring.
Since a filtered ring R has a topology on it, one is tempted to ask if the moduli set of filtered ~-ring structures on it has a natural topology that is, in some sense, compatible with the topology on R. This is indeed the case, as was shown by the author in [5].
By a filtered ring, we mean a commutative ring R with unit together with a decreasing sequence of ideals R = I0 I1 I2.

Explicit coercion is always allowed between polynomial rings having the same number of variables (and suitable base rings), whether they are global or not, and the coercion maps the i-variable of one ring to the i-th variable of the other ring.
