Matrix Factorizations of the Classical Discriminant
The classical discriminant D_n of degree n polynomials detects whether a given univariate polynomial f has a repeated root. It is itself a polynomial in the coefficients of f which, according to several classical results by Bézout, Sylvester, Cayley, and others, may be expressed as the determinant o...
