In mathematics, the Mahler measure of a polynomial with complex coefficients is : where factorizes over the complex numbers as : It can be shown using Jensen's formula that also : which is the geometric mean of for on the unit circle The Mahler measure of an algebraic number is defined as the Mahler measure of the minimal polynomial of over . In particular, if is a Pisot number or a Salem number then its Mahler measure is simply . The Mahler measure is named after Kurt Mahler. It is in fact a kind of Height function. ==Properties== * The Mahler measure is multiplicative, i.e. * Also where : is the norm of (although this is not a true norm for values of ). * (Kronecker's Theorem) If is an irreducible monic integer polynomial with , then either or is a cyclotomic polynomial. * Lehmer's conjecture asserts that there is a constant such that if is an irreducible integer polynomial, then either or . * The Mahler measure of a monic integer polynomial is a Perron number. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahler measure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
