Determinantal representation of trigonometric polynomial curves via Sylvester method

Piecewise quadratic trigonometric polynomial curves

Analogous to the quadratic B-spline curve, a piecewise quadratic trigonometric polynomial curve is presented in this paper. The quadratic trigonometric polynomial curve has C2 continuity, while the quadratic B-spline curve has C1 continuity. The quadratic trigonometric polynomial curve is closer to the given control polygon than the quadratic B-spline curve.

Sturm and Sylvester algorithms revisited via tridiagonal determinantal representations

There are several methods to count the number of real roots of an univariate polynomial p(x) ∈ R[x] of degree n (for details we refer to [BPR]). Among them, the Sturm algorithm says that the number of real roots of p(x) is equal to the number of Permanence minus the number of variations of signs which appears in the leading coefficients of the signed remainders sequence of p(x) and p(x). Anothe...

Determinantal representations of elliptic curves via Weierstrass elliptic functions

Helton and Vinnikov proved that every hyperbolic ternary form admits a symmetric derminantal representation via Riemann theta functions. In the case the algebraic curve of the hyperbolic ternary form is elliptic, the determinantal representation of the ternary form is formulated by using Weierstrass ℘-functions in place of Riemann theta functions. An example of this approach is given.

When Is a Trigonometric Polynomial Not a Trigonometric Polynomial?

for some nonnegative integer k and complex numbers a0, . . . , ak, b1, . . . , bk ∈ C. Trigonometric polynomials and their series counterparts, the Fourier series, play an important role in many areas of pure and applied mathematics and are likely to be quite familiar to the reader. When reflecting on the terminology, however, it is reasonable to wonder why the term trigonometric polynomial is ...
