Moreover, the knowledge of $F(P)$ gives a complete factorization of the polynomial $P$ by taking gcd's. This generalizes previous results by Ruppert and Gao in the case $n=2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-04-02T09:15:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12D05", "14F40", "14J70" ], "keywords": [ "polynomial", "algebraic partial differential equations", "complete factorization", "linear system", "vector space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0704.3363S" } } }
