If \(kx^{2}+5x-\frac{5}{4}=0\) has equal roots, then \(b^2-4ac=0\). \(a=k\), \(b=5\) and \(c= - \frac{5}{4}\). \(b^2-4ac=0\) \(5^2 -4\times k \times - \frac{5}{4}=0 ...

This paper considers and offers some solutions to a series of problems that users of multiple discriminant analysis often confront, including (1) the calculation and interpretation of total structure ...

Let K be a number field and d K the absolute value of the discriminant of K/ℚ. We consider the root discriminant ${\mathrm{d}}_{\mathrm{L}}^{\frac{1}{[\mathrm{L}:\mathrm{\mathbb{Q}}]}}$ of extensions ...
