Homogeneous Polynomial - Basic Properties

Basic Properties

The number of different homogeneous monomials of degree M in N variables is

The Taylor series for a homogeneous polynomial P expanded at point x may be written as

$\begin{matrix} P(x+y)= \sum_{j=0}^n {n \choose j} P ( &\underbrace{x,x,\dots ,x}, & \underbrace{y,y,\dots ,y} ). \\ & j & n-j\\ \end{matrix}$

Another useful identity is

$\begin{matrix} P(x)-P(y)= \sum_{j=0}^{n-1} {n \choose j} P ( &\underbrace{y,y,\dots ,y}, & \underbrace{(x-y),(x-y),\dots ,(x-y)} ). \\ & j & n-j\\ \end{matrix}$

“A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point. That’s basic spelling that every woman ought to know.”
—Mistinguett (1874–1956)

“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
