Template:Nofootnotes In mathematics, the additive polynomials are an important topic in classical algebraic number theory.

Definition

Let k be a field of characteristic p, with p a prime number. A polynomial P(x) with coefficients in k is called an additive polynomial, or a Frobenius polynomial, if

$P(a+b)=P(a)+P(b)\,$

as polynomials in a and b. It is equivalent to assume that this equality holds for all a and b in some infinite field containing k, such as its algebraic closure.

Occasionally absolutely additive is used for the condition above, and additive is used for the weaker condition that P(a + b) = P(a) + P(b) for all a and b in the field. For infinite fields the conditions are equivalent, but for finite fields they are not, and the weaker condition is the "wrong" one and does not behave well. For example, over a field of order q any multiple P of x^q − x will satisfy P(a + b) = P(a) + P(b) for all a and b in the field, but will usually not be (absolutely) additive.

Examples

The polynomial x^p is additive. Indeed, for any a and b in the algebraic closure of k one has by the binomial theorem

$(a+b)^{p}=\sum _{n=0}^{p}{p \choose n}a^{n}b^{p-n}.$

Since p is prime, for all n = 1, ..., p−1 the binomial coefficient $\scriptstyle {p \choose n}$ is divisible by p, which implies that

$(a+b)^{p}\equiv a^{p}+b^{p}\mod p$

as polynomials in a and b.

Similarly all the polynomials of the form

$\tau _{p}^{n}(x)=x^{p^{n}}$

are additive, where n is a non-negative integer.

The ring of additive polynomials

It is quite easy to prove that any linear combination of polynomials $\scriptstyle \tau _{p}^{n}(x)$ with coefficients in k is also an additive polynomial. An interesting question is whether there are other additive polynomials except these linear combinations. The answer is that these are the only ones.

One can check that if P(x) and M(x) are additive polynomials, then so are P(x) + M(x) and P(M(x)). These imply that the additive polynomials form a ring under polynomial addition and composition. This ring is denoted

$k\{\tau _{p}\}.\,$

This ring is not commutative unless k equals the field $\scriptstyle \mathbb {F} _{p}=\mathbf {Z} /p\mathbf {Z}$ (see modular arithmetic). Indeed, consider the additive polynomials ax and x^p for a coefficient a in k. For them to commute under composition, we must have

$(ax)^{p}=ax^{p},\,$

or a^p − a = 0. This is false for a not a root of this equation, that is, for a outside $\scriptstyle \mathbb {F} _{p}.$

The fundamental theorem of additive polynomials

Let P(x) be a polynomial with coefficients in k, and $\scriptstyle \{w_{1},\dots ,w_{m}\}\subset k$ be the set of its roots. Assuming that the roots of P(x) are distinct (that is, P(x) is separable), then P(x) is additive if and only if the set $\scriptstyle \{w_{1},\dots ,w_{m}\}$ forms a group with the field addition.

  I had like 17 domains hosted on single account, and never had any special troubles. If you are not happy with the service you will get your money back with in 45 days, that's guaranteed. But the Search Engine utility inside the Hostgator account furnished an instant score for my launched website. Fantastico is unable to install WordPress in a directory which already have any file i.e to install WordPress using Fantastico the destination directory must be empty and it should not have any previous installation files. When you share great information, others will take note. Once your hosting is purchased, you will need to setup your domain name to point to your hosting. Money Back: All accounts of Hostgator come with a 45 day money back guarantee. If you have any queries relating to where by and how to use Hostgator Discount Coupon, you can make contact with us at our site. If you are starting up a website or don't have too much website traffic coming your way, a shared plan is more than enough.

  Hostgator tutorials on how to install Wordpress need not be complicated, especially when you will be dealing with a web hosting service that is friendly for novice webmasters and a blogging platform that is as intuitive as riding a bike. After that you can get Hostgator to host your domain and use the wordpress to do the blogging. Once you start site flipping, trust me you will not be able to stop. I cut my webmaster teeth on Control Panel many years ago, but since had left for other hosting companies with more commercial (cough, cough) interfaces. If you don't like it, you can chalk it up to experience and go on. First, find a good starter template design. When I signed up, I did a search for current "HostGator codes" on the web, which enabled me to receive a one-word entry for a discount.
