The (n+1)×(n+1) tridiagonal matrix (also called the Clement matrix) defined by S_n=[0 n 0 0 ... 0; 1 0 n-1 0 ... 0; 0 2 0 n-2 ... 0; | | ... ... ... |; 0 0 0 n-1 0 1; 0 0 0 0 ...

A pair of matrices ND^(-1) or D^(-1)N, where N is the matrix numerator and D is the denominator.

A matrix for which horizontal and vertical dimensions are not the same (i.e., an m×n matrix with m!=n).

A p×q submatrix of an m×n matrix (with p<=m, q<=n) is a p×q matrix formed by taking a block of the entries of this size from the original matrix.

A cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 3. A univariate cubic polynomial has the form f(x)=a_3x^3+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0. An equation involving a cubic polynomial is called a ...

A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 2. A univariate quadratic polynomial has the form f(x)=a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0. An equation involving a quadratic polynomial is ...

For a given monic quartic equation f(x)=x^4+a_3x^3+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0, (1) the resolvent cubic is the monic cubic polynomial g(x)=x^3+b_2x^2+b_1x+b_0, (2) where the coefficients ...
