Differential elimination by differential specialization of Sylvester style matrices (Q895967)

The paper under review defines differential resultant formulas for a system \(\mathcal{P}\) of \(n\) ordinary Laurent differential polynomials in \(n-1\) differential variables. These are determinants of coefficient matrices of an extended system of polynomials obtained from \(\mathcal{P}\) through the differentiation and multiplication by Laurent polynomials. The proposed construction generalizes the construction of differential resultants introduced in [\textit{G. Carrà Ferro}, Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 1255, 55--65 (1997; Zbl 1039.12500)] and extends the results of the author [Linear Algebra Appl. 438, No. 11, 4296--4321 (2013; Zbl 1337.12002)] to the nonlinear case. Starting with the above-mentioned system \(\mathcal{P}\) with an additional ``super essential'' condition, the author obtains (through the appropriate number of differentiations of the elements of \(\mathcal{P}\)) an extended system \(\mathrm{ps}(\mathcal{P})\) of \(L\) polynomials in \(L-1\) algebraic variables, which is nonsparse in the order of derivation. At the same time, it is shown that every system contains a subsystem with the super essential condition. In the next part of the paper the author introduces a concept of an algebraic generic sparse system \(\mathrm{ags}(\mathcal{P})\) associated with a super essential system \(\mathcal{P}\). It is explained how such a system can be used for construction of a Sylvester style matrix \(\mathrm{Syl}(\mathcal{P})\) with the technique of [\textit{J. F. Canny} and \textit{I. Z. Emiris}, J. ACM 47, No. 3, 417--451 (2000; Zbl 1094.65508)] under additional conditions. Then the author obtains differential resultant formulas for \(\mathcal{P}\) through the specialization of \(\mathrm{Syl}(\mathcal{P})\) to the differential coefficients of \(\mathrm{ps}(\mathcal{P})\). The last part of this work considers a generic system of sparse differential polynomials. It is shown that the obtained formulas provide order and degree bounds for the sparse differential resultant \(\partial\mathrm{Res}(\mathcal{P})\) of \(\mathcal{P}\) defined in [\textit{W. Li} et al., Found. Comput. Math. 15, No. 2, 451--517 (2015; Zbl 1315.12003)]. The results of the paper are illustrated with several relevant examples.
