Examples
“In the above examples, each piecewise polynomial is defined on an interval with the same length and thus forms a uniform basis.”
“The idea was to start a pendulum from several different heights in order to cover a range of velocities and then to use simultaneous algebraic equations to fit a two or three term polynomial to two or three lost-arc data-points, changing the exponents until the polynomial achieved good agreement with the other lost-arc data points.”
“This isn't a trivial difference; a model that can solve a problem in polynomial time really is fundamentally more powerful than one that takes exponential time.”
“And there are tons of computational complexity classes above the standard P and NP that represent problems that deterministic and non-deterministic Turing Machines can solve in polynomial time.”
“In this equation, d is called the polynomial's degree.”
“Also, all such calculations are done modulo another polynomial, which is called the irreducible polynomial for the field.”
“We call a polynomial p (x) with integer coefficients irreducible if p (x) cannot be written as a product of two polynomials with integer coefficients neither of which is a constant.”
“The degree of the polynomial is the degree of the term with highest degree.”
“-- Key wireless functions such as polynomial generation and multiply - accumulate for de-spreading functions (up to 16 complex code MACs/cycle) -- High precision FFTs with adaptive range management”
“(Since any polynomial which is zero in a neighborhood of a point must be identically zero.)”
