Extension of a Lemma of Stroh
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
The lemma I propose to discuss may be stated as follows;
If ξ, η, ζ are three quantities whose sum is zero and λ, μ, ν three positive integers (≤n) satisfying the condition
then any polynomial of order n in ξ, η, ζ can be expressed in the form
where P, Q, R are polynomials of orders n − λ, n − μ, n − ν.
