It is known that no two of the roots of the polynomial equation (1) $$\prod\limits_{l=1}^{n}(x-r_l)+\prod\limits_{l=1}^{n}(x+r_l)=0$$, where 0 < $r_1{\leq}r_2{\leq}{\cdots}{\leq}r_n$, can be equal and all of its roots lie on the imaginary axis. In this paper we show that for 0 < h < $r_k$, the roots of $$(x-r_k+h)\prod\limits_{{l=1}\\{l{\neq}k}}^{n}(x-r_l)+(x+r_k-h)\prod\limits_{{l=1}\\{l{\neq}k}}^{n}(x+r_l)=0$$ and the roots of (1) in the upper half-plane lie alternatively on the imaginary axis.

The problem of finding rational or integral points of an elliptic curve basically boils down to solving a cubic equation. We look closely at the cubic formula of Cardano to find a criterion for a cubic polynomial to have a rational or integral roots. Also we show that existence of a rational root of a cubic polynomial implies existence of a solution for certain Diophantine equation. As an application we find some integral solutions of some special type for $y^2=x^3+b$.

According to the developments of various composite materials, it seems to be very important to evaluate the strength and fracture behavior of composite materials. When the composite material is considered as orthotropic material, the characteristic equation of orthotropic material have complex roots. If characteristic roots are equal, the fundamental solutions of BEM become singular ones. This paper analyse the fundamental solutions of the singular problem of orthotropic material using the analogous method to isotropic material.

Paper folding is a versatile tool that can be used not only as a mathematical model for analyzing the geometric properties of plane and spatial figures but also as a visual method for finding the real roots of polynomial equations. The historical evolution of origami's geometric and algebraic techniques has led to the discovery of definitions and properties that can enhance one's cognitive understanding of mathematical concepts and generate mathematical interest and motivation on an emotional level. This paper aims to examine the history of origami geometry, the utilization of origami for solving polynomial equations, and the process of determining the real roots of quadratic, cubic, and quartic equations through origami techniques.

A general class of two-point optimal fourth-order methods is proposed for locating multiple roots of a nonlinear equation. We investigate convergence analysis and computational properties for the family. Special and simple cases are considered for real-life applications. Numerical experiments strongly verify the convergence behavior and the developed theory.

In this paper, we introduce a roots method that uses the roots inside the unit circle of the associated characteristics equation to evaluate the steady-state system-length distribution at three epochs (pre-arrival, arbitrary, and post-departure) and sojourn-time distribution in GI/PH/1 queueing model. It is very important for an air base to inspect airplane oil because low-quality oil leads to drop or breakdown of an airplane. Since airplane oil inspection is composed of several inspection steps, it sometimes causes train congestion and delay of inventory replenishments. We analyzed interarrival time and inspection (service) time of oil supply from the actual data which is given from one of the ROKAF's (Republic of Korea Air Force) bases. We found that interarrival time of oil follows a normal distribution with a small deviation, and the service time follows phase-type distribution, which was first introduced by Neuts to deal with the shortfalls of exponential distributions. Finally, we applied the GI/PH/1 queueing model to the oil train congestion problem and analyzed the distributions of the number of customers (oil trains) in the queue and their mean sojourn-time using the roots method suggested by Chaudhry for the model GI/C-MSP/1.

An equivalent lens is a lens which has the same total power of refraction and the same paraxial imaging characteristics for the marginal rays as another lens, but has a different axial thickness. In this study, an analytic lens conversion from a thick lens to its equivalent lens is investigated, then it is shown that the equivalent lens is a solution of a quadratic equation. Every thick lens corresponds to one of two real roots of this quadratic equation. Therefore, except in the case of a unique solution, the equation has a conjugate solution, the other of the two roots. The conjugate solution has the same axial thickness, power, and paraxial imaging characteristics, but it has different shape and aberration characteristics. The characteristics of an equivalent lens and its conjugate solution are examined by using a sample lens.

This paper discusses cubic equations in general saddlepoint approximations. Exact roots are found for various cases by trigonometric identities, the root which is appropriate for the general saddlepoint approximations is selected and discussed, and the defective cases in which the general saddlepoint approximations cannot be used are found.

A general method of calculating the frequency shift due to lattice defects is developed for a one dimensional lattice with an arbitrary number of lattice points. The method is based on the Fourier transform of the equation of motion. It is shown that the frequency spectrum is determined by the roots of 5${\times}$5 secular equation, the coefficients of which depend on defects in the mass and the force constant as well as the number of the lattice points. For the limiting case of infinite lattice, the dimension of the secular equation reduces to three and the result agrees with that of Montroll and Potts.

Conventional methods for root finding of the algebraic equations are intrinsically synthetic division methods, i.e., which are the factorization in forms of $f(x)=(x-x_i)Q(x)$. So existing methods have some demerits such as deflation and root-polishing procedures. To overcome these defects a new powerful algorithm, namely circular arithmetic algorithm(CSM), was introduced and has been investigated about its fascinating properties. In this paper, we will propose a simple and effective method of getting the initial guesses for the roots of the equation. With this method the CSM can me all the root of equation with great efficiency.
