ON EXPLICIT SOLUTIONS OF SOME TRINOMIAL EQUATIONS IN TERMS OF THE MAXIMUM OPERATION,

Abstract

In this paper it is shown that the nonnegative solutions of trinomial equations of the form phi (x) + ax = b may be expressed in terms of the maximum or minimum of explicit functions, provided that phi (x) is strictly convex or strictly concave. (Author)
