MULTIVARIATE NEWTON SUMS: IDENTITIES AND GENERATING FUNCTIONS

ABSTRACT

This paper is devoted to present, first, a family of formulas extending to the multivariate case the classical Newton (or Newton–Girard) Identities relating the coefficients of a univariate polynomial equation with its roots through the Newton Sums and, secondly, the Generating Functions associated to the new introduced Newton Sums of the multivariate case. As a by-product the kinds of systems accepting these Newton Identities are also characterized together with those allowing the Newton Sums to be computed in an inductive way directly from the coefficients of the polynomial system under consideration.
