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.
polynomial. mathematical expression which is a finite sum, each term being a constant times a product of one or more variables raised to powers. With only one variable the general form of a polynomial is a 0 x + a 1 x + a 2 x +â¦+ a nâ1 x + an where n is a positive integer and a 0, a 1, a 2, â¦ , an are any numbers.n example of a polynomial in one variable is 11 x 4 â3 x 3 +7 x 2 + x â8. The degree of a polynomial in one variable is the highest power of the variable appearing with a nonzero coefficient; in the example given above, the degree is 4.
