We solve polynomials algebraically in order to determine the roots - where a curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. A root of a polynomial function, \(f(x)\), is a value for \(x\) for which \(f(x) = 0\).

Inspired by Rearick's work on logarithm and exponential functions of arithmetic functions, we introduce two new operators, LOG and EXP. The LOG operates on generalized Fibonacci polynomials giving ...

The conditional variance function in a heteroscedastic, nonparametric regression model is estimated by linear smoothing of squared residuals. Attention is focused on local polynomial smoothers. Both ...
