Reference to "famous Tchirnaus transformation"

79 Views Asked by At

On page 7 of André Galligo's paper Deformation of Roots of Polynomials via Fractional Derivatives, we find the following statement:

Lemma 1. Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$, then $P_f (x, q) := \frac{1}{n!} x^q \,\Gamma(n − q)\operatorname{Diff}^q (f)$ is a polynomial in $x$ and $q$, of total degree $n$. Notice that, for an initial value $a \in \mathbb{R}$, the polynomial can be written in the basis formed by the powers of $(x − a)$, then one considers the fractional derivative operator $\operatorname{Diff}^q_a$ and the corresponding polynomial $P_{f,a}(x, q)$. Here we set $a = 0$. We decided that, since we focus on the polynomial roots of a fixed univariate polynomial $f$, it is convenient to choose for $a$ the mean of the complex roots of $f$. Equivalently, thanks to the famous Tchirnaus transformation, after a real translation on the abscissa $x$ we can assume that the coefficient of $x^{n−1}$ vanishes, hence the mean of the roots of $f$ is $0$. This last property is also true for all derivatives with integer orders of $f$.

Clearly if $x^{n-1}$ vanishes then the mean of the roots will be $0$ since the sum of roots will be zero by Vieta's Formulas.

However, I have no idea what the supposedly "famous Tchirnaus transformation" is, and I cannot find a single decent reference to it outside of this paper. Does anyone have an idea concerning what this transformation is?

A more common spelling is "Tschirnhaus."

See for example Tschirnhaus transfromation on Wikipedia

In this case, the Tschirnhausen transformation they refer to is just replacing $x$ by $y = x+a$ for a suitable choice of $a$ to make $y$ satisfy a degree $n$ polynomial with no $y^{n-1}$ term.
