Solving polynomials with ordinary differential equations

In this work we consider a given root of a family of n-degree polynomials as a one-variable function that depends only on the independent term. Then we prove that this function satisfies several ordinary differential equations (ODE). More concretely, it satisfies several simple separated variables O...

Sumario:In this work we consider a given root of a family of n-degree polynomials as a one-variable function that depends only on the independent term. Then we prove that this function satisfies several ordinary differential equations (ODE). More concretely, it satisfies several simple separated variables ODE, a first order generalized Abel ODE of degree n-1 and an (n-1)-th order linear ODE. Although some of our results are not new, our approach is simple and self-contained. For n=2,3 and 4 we recover, from these ODE, the classical formulas for solving these polynomials.
