Abstract
Extraneous factors are unwanted parameters which appear in the process of eliminating
variables in a symbolic polynomial system. This paper is intended to present the conditions,
under which the Dixon resultant formulation is exact which implied as there is not any
extraneous factors in determinante of Dixon matrix. Like other matrix based methods, the
Dixon method is not exempt from the existence of extraneous factors along with the
resultant which together is called projection operator; however, recognition of these factors
takes a long process, and sometimes the presence of them can make computing the
projection operator impractical. As a matter of fact, under such conditions, the projection
operators are exactly, up to a constant factor, resultant.
Keywords: Elimination Theory, Resultant, Dixon Construction, Extraneous Factors.
1. Introduction
Resultant theory has a long mathematical story, starting with the resolution of linear
polynomials system. The first explicit construction so called resultant of two univariate
polynomials, proposed by L. Euler in 1764 [1] and E. B´ezout 1779 [2], was followed by
the well known Dialytic method of Sylvester in 1858 [3]. The generalizations of this
method to multivariate polynomials appeared after 1860 at which point intensive studies
were initiated by Salmon [4], Macaulay [5], Dixon in 1908 [6] and Van Der Waerden in
1950 [7], in this area. But after this point it started to be forgotten, and until 1990’s, it did
