An Elementary Proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Tropical Algebra
In this paper we give an elementary proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra for polynomials over the rational tropical semi-ring. We prove that, tropically, the rational numbers are algebraically closed. We provide a simple algorithm for factoring tropical polynomials of a single variable. A central idea is the concept of least-coefficient polynomials as representatives for classes of funct...

In this paper, we give a complete proof of Theorem 4.1(ii) and a new elementary proof of Theorem 4.1(i) in [Li and Shen, On the intersection of the normalizers of the derived subgroups of all subgroups of a finite group, J. Algebra, 323 (2010) 1349--1357]. In addition, we also give a generalization of Baer's Theorem.
متن کاملThe Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Made Effective: An Elementary Real-Algebraic Proof via Sturm Chains
Sturm’s theorem (1829/35) provides an elegant algorithm to count and locate the real roots of any real polynomial. In his residue calculus (1831/37) Cauchy extended Sturm’s method to count and locate the complex roots of any complex polynomial. For holomorphic functions Cauchy’s index is based on contour integration, but in the special case of polynomials it can effectively be calculated via St...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: a Real Algebraic Proof via Sturm Chains
Sturm’s famous theorem provides an elegant algorithm to count and locate the real roots of any given real polynomial. It is less widely known that Cauchy extended this to an algebraic method to count and locate the complex roots of any given complex polynomial. We give an algebraic proof of this beautiful result, starting from the mere axioms of the fields R and C, without any further appeal to...
