Chebyshev polynomials, a central class of orthogonal polynomials, have long been pivotal in numerical analysis, approximation theory and the solution of differential equations. Their inherent ...
New work establishes a tighter connection between the rank of a polynomial and the extent to which it favors particular outputs. When you deposit a quarter and turn the crank on a gumball machine, the ...
Long considered solved, David Hilbert’s question about seventh-degree polynomials is leading researchers to a new web of mathematical connections. Success is rare in math. Just ask Benson Farb. “The ...
