A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

Polynomial optimization concerns the problem of finding global minima or maxima of multivariate polynomial functions subject to polynomial constraints. Such problems are inherently nonconvex and often ...

Polynomial theory underpins a vast array of problems in modern combinatorics, providing tools to encode, manipulate and extract information from sequences and discrete structures. Central to this area ...
