Cayley-Dixon Projection Operator For Multi-Univariate Composed Polynomials, Arthur Chtcherba, Deepak Kapur, Manfred Minimair

Manfred Minimair

The Cayley-Dixon formulation for multivariate projection operators (multiples of resultants of multivariate polynomials) has been shown to be efficient (both exper- imentally and theoretically) for simultaneously eliminating many variables from a polynomial system. In this paper, the behavior of the Cayley-Dixon projection op- erator and the structure of Dixon matrices are analyzed for composed polynomial systems constructed from a multivariate system in which each variable is substi- tuted by a univariate polynomial in a distinct variable. Under some conditions, it is shown that a Dixon projection operator of the composed system can be expressed as a power of the resultant …
