For the sake of simplicity, in the sequel a (Laurent) polynomial of negative degree is understood to be the zero polynomial and, similarly, a banded matrix with negative bandwidth reduces to the zero matrix.
The graph of a polynomial function of degree 3. In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of variables (or indeterminates) and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables. An example of a polynomial of a single indeterminate x is x2 â 4x + 7.
