Solving Polynomial Equations (25)

The algebraic solution of the general quintic polynomial equation

Observe Recall the quintic equation in geometric form:

$ \displaystyle c_{2} x^{2} + c_{3} x^{3} + c_{4} x^{4} + c_{5} x^{5} - x + 1 = 0 $

Observe: Recall this has the proposed solution:

$$ x = \Sigma_{m = 0}^+ \Sigma_{n = 0}^+ \Sigma_{p = 0}^+ \Sigma_{q = 0}^+ \frac{(2m + 3n + 4p + 5q)!}{(1 + m + 2n + 3p + 4q)!m!n!p!q!} c_2^{m} c_3^{n} c_4^{p} c_5^q $$

Observe: This solution is a polynomial power series in $c2, c3, c4$ and $c5$.


Aim: This solution should be computationally verified up to a certain degree.


Observe: The verification to be undertaken is not intended to work with infite sums or infite computations, but should be truncated to an arbitrary number.

Observe: The proposed solution includes an extension of the BiTriQuad numbers.

Definition: The extension of the BiTriQuad numbers to degree 5 is defined as BiTriQuadQuintic numbers:

$$ \frac{(2m + 3n + 4p + 5q)!}{(1 + m + 2n + 3p + 4q)!m!n!p!q!} $$

Definition: These types of numbers (such as BiTri, BiTriQuad etc.) can be denoted as Roofed Polygonal Subdivision numbers (here in the special case of degree 5).

$$ r(m,n, p, q) = \frac{(2m + 3n + 4p + 5q)!}{(1 + m + 2n + 3p + 4q)!m!n!p!q!} $$

Let $P1$ be a function that implements $r$

Let the following be unknown types.

Let $P1$ be a general quintic equation.

Let $P2$ be $P1$ converted to geometric form.

Let $P3$ be a function that returns a roofed polygon subdivision number (to degree 5).

Example: $P3$ evaluated at $(3, 2, 0, 0)$.

Let $P4$ be a function that returns a roofed polygon subdivision number for variables $c_2, c_3, c_4$ and $c_5$.

Example: Evaluate $P4$ at $m, n, p, q, c2, c3, c4, c5$.

Let $P5$ be a function that implements:

$$ x = \Sigma_{m = 0}^+ \Sigma_{n = 0}^+ \Sigma_{p = 0}^+ \Sigma_{q = 0}^+ \frac{(2m + 3n + 4p + 5q)!}{(1 + m + 2n + 3p + 4q)!m!n!p!q!} c_2^{m} c_3^{n} c_4^{p} c_5^q $$

Let $P6$ be $P5$ evaluated with an an degree of $2$.

Let $P7$ be the geometric form of the the general quintic equation, with a subsution of $x$ for $P6$

Observe: To evaluate $P7$ and and ascertain if it verifies $P2$ (truncated to degree 2), a power series expansion is needed.

Let $P8$ be a power series expansion of $P7$ in variables $c_2, c_3, c_4$ and $c_5$.

Observe: this result verifies up to degree 2 that the solution found using a substitution of $P6$ for $x$ satisfies $ \displaystyle c_{2} x^{2} + c_{3} x^{3} + c_{4} x^{4} + c_{5} x^{5} - x + 1 = 0 $
