The resultant of Chebyshev polynomials

From MaRDI portal





In the article under review, the authors give explicit formulas for the resultant of two Chebyshev polynomials. In particular, they prove the following. Let \(m\) and \(n\) be natural numbers not both equal to zero. Then NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\text{res}\left(T_m,T_n\right)=\begin{cases} 0& \text{if \(m/g\) and \(n/g\) are both odd,}\\ \left(-1\right)^{\frac{mn}{2}}2^{(m-1)(n-1)+g-1}& \text{otherwise,} \end{cases}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(g=\gcd(m,n)\) and \(T_k\) denotes the \(k\)th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind, and NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\text{res}\left(U_m,U_n\right)=\begin{cases} 0& \text{if \(\gcd(m+1,n+1)\neq 1\),}\\ \left(-1\right)^{\frac{mn}{2}}2^{mn}& \text{otherwise,} \end{cases}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(U_k\) denotes the \(k\)th Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind.NEWLINENEWLINE The proofs are elementary.
