INTRODUCTION

Often it becomes interesting and fruitful to bridge different fields of study. Some time resolving one problem becomes much easier if we translate it into some equivalent problem. As we know from computer science, all NP-hard problems are equivalent. Resolution of one NP-hard problem can benefit the other, if we are able to translate the problem correctly. For example, logical solvers like SAT Solvers are used for cryptanalysis and solving algebraic system of equations over GF(2) [3, 4]. The more recent fields of study in this direction are, approximate commutative algebra [18] and numerical algebraic geometry [22]. We are hopeful that our study in this paper could be one of such contributions.

Trigonometric polynomials are widely used in different fields of engineering and science, like trigonometric interpolation applied to the interpolation of periodic functions, approximation theory, discrete Fourier transform, and real and complex analysis, etc. We are developing this study by keeping in mind, the possibility that studding factorization properties of these polynomials could help studying the above fields and especially Fourier series, that is, the study of big waves (a trigonometric polynomial) in terms of small wavelets (irreducibles). The study of Fourier series is a vast field of study by itself and this study will help to understand a big Fourier series in terms of smaller Fourier series.

We refer to [9, 10] and reference therein, for a short review of some of the recent interesting results on nonnegative trigonometric polynomials and their applications in Fourier series, signal processing, approximation theory, function theory and number theory. Many applications, especially in mechanical engineering and in numerical analysis lead to quantifier elimination problems with trigonometric functions involved (see [14]). Decompositions of trigonometric polynomials with applications to multivariate subdivision schemes is studied in [11], random almost periodic trigonometric polynomials and applications to ergodic theory can be found in [6], a detailed treatment of trigonometric series can be found in [26], and a new proof of a theorem of Littlewood concerning flatness of unimodular trigonometric polynomials is given in [5], this proof is shorter and simpler than Littlewood's. Inspired by the above stated applications and lot more, we investigate trigonometric polynomials using an algebraic approach. Throughout this article we follow the notation and definitions introduced in [15, 25] unless mentioned otherwise.

In polynomial rings, factorization properties of integral domains have been a frequent topic of recent mathematical literature. Recall that a Unique Factorization Domain (UFD) is an integral domain in which every non-unit element can be uniquely expressed, up to isomorphism, as a product of irreducible elements. A Principal Ideal Domain (PID) is an integral domain in which every ideal is principal, i.e., can be generated by a single element. An integral domain D is atomic if each nonzero nonunit of D is a product of irreducible elements (atoms) of D, [7] and it is well known that UFDs, PIDs and Noetherian domains are atomic domains. In an integral domain D, if there does not exist any infinite strictly ascending chain of principal integral ideals, it is said to satisfy the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP). Noetherian domains, PIDs and UFDs satisfy ACCP and domains satisfying ACCP are atomic. For examples of atomic domains which do not satisfy ACCP we refer to Grams [12] and Zaks [24].

Another interesting type of domains in commutative algebra is of half-factorial domains. An integral domain D is said to be a half-factorial domain (HFD) if D is atomic and whenever x1 ... xm= y1 ... yn, where x1, x2 ... xm, y1, y2 ... yn are irreducibles in D, then m = n [23]. Since we obtain HFDs by dropping uniqueness condition on UFDs, a UFD is obviously an HFD. But the converse is not true, since any Krull domain D with CI (D) ≅ 2 is an HFD [23], but not a UFD. Moreover, a polynomial extension of an HFD is not an HFD anymore, for instance [][X] is not an HFD, as [] is an HFD but not integrally closed [8]. In general we have,

Note that none of the above implications is reversible. By U (D) we denote the group of units of D.

Half-factoriality of integral domains have been a frequent topic of the recent mathematical literature, particularly for polynomial rings. In this study we would investigate half-factorial domains which are the subrings of the complex trigonometric polynomial ring T' (see [15]). The basic concepts, notions and terminology are as standard in [15], [20] and [21].

For the factorization of exponential polynomials, J.F. Ritt developed: "If

with no b = 0, then every β is a linear combination of α1, ..., αnwith rational coefficients" [17, Theorem]. Latter on getting inspired by this, G. Picavet and M. Picavet [15] investigated some factorization properties in trigonometric polynomial rings. Following [15], when we replace all αkabove by im, with m , we obtain trigonometric polynomials. Whereas

are the trigonometric polynomial rings.

Again following [15], Sin2 x =(1 −Cosx)(1 +Cosx) shows that two different non-associated irreducible factorizations of the same element may appear. Throughout we denote by Coskx and Sinkx the two functions x Coskx and x Sinkx (defined over ). Also from basic trigonometric identities, it is obvious that for each n \{1}, Cosnx represents a polynomial in Cosx with degree n and Sinnx represents the product of Sinx and a polynomial in Cosx with degree n − 1. Conversely by linearization formulas, it follows that any product Cosn x Sinp x can be written as:

Hence T = [Cosx, Sinx] ⊆ [Cosx, Sinx] = T'.

As proved in [15, Theorem 2.1 & Theorem 3.1], T' is a Euclidean domain and T is a Dedekind half factorial domain. We continue the investigations to find the factorization properties in trigonometric polynomial rings, begun in [15] and extended in [20] and [21], by extending this study towards finding half-factorial subrings of the complex trigonometric polynomial ring T'. In section 2, we define three subrings T'2, T'3 and T'4 of T'. We explore T'2, T'3 and T'4, and prove that each of the three new subrings, T'2, T'3,and T'4 is an HFD isomorphic to ( + X[X])X, ( + X[X])Xand ((i) + X[X])Xrespectively. In section 3, we discussed Condition 1 (see [16, page 661]) among the three half-factorial domains. We conclude this paper by summarizing the results and discussing further research and applications.

2 THE SUBRINGS OF [Cosx, Sinx]

In this section we study three HFDs which are subrings of the ring of complex trigonometric polynomial ring. After knowing that an integral domain is an HFD, immediately we can deduce several useful properties.

2.1 The Construction of T' 2

Consider the following set

where α ∈, β and α, β are not simultaneously zero. Let z T'2. We may write

As Cosx = and Sinx = , we have

where , α0, β, α ∈ .Since z is an arbitrary, every element of T'2 is of the form

e–inx P (eix), n , where P (X) ∈ + X[X].

Conversely, for α0 and αk, 1 < k < 2n, we have

As ei x = Cosx + iSinx, we have

where αn, α0 + α2n, α2n − α0, αk+ α2nk, α2nk − αk. Therefore every element which is of the form einx P(ei x ), n , where P(X) ∈ + X[X], is in T'2.

Conclusion 1. The consequence of above construction is:T'2 = {einx P(eix ), n , where P(X) ∈ + X[X]. So we have an isomorphism f : ( + X[X])XT'2 through the substitution morphism X ei x . Therefore T'2 ( + X[X])X.

Theorem 1. The integral domain T'2 is an HFD having irreducible elements, up to units, trigonometric polynomials of the form Cosx + iSinx a, where a \{0}.

Proof. Since X is a prime in + X[X] [1, Example 1.8 (b)], so ( + X[X])X is a localization of + X[X] by a multiplicative system generated by a prime. Also + X[X] is an HFD [2, Proposition 3.1]. Therefore ( + X[X])X is an HFD [1, Corollary 2.5]. Hence the isomorphism T'0 ( + X[X])Xin Conclusion 1 gives the result.

2.2 The Construction of T' 3

We define the set T'0 of all polynomials of the form

such that α, β, γ, where α, β and γ are not simultaneously zero.

Let z T'3 be an arbitrary element, so we may write

As Cosx = and Sinx = , so

where ak= and , a0.

Setting

we have

where α'k, β'k, a0, and α, β, γ.

Since z is an arbitrary, every element of T'3 is of the form

Conversely, for α0 and αk, 1 < k < 2n,we have

As ei x = Cosx + iSinx, so by setting

We have

where

Therefore every element which is of the form einx P(ei x ), n , where P(X) ∈ + X[X], is in T'3.

Conclusion 2. The consequence of above construction is: T'3 = {e–inx P(eix)), n , where P(X) ∈ + X[X]}. So we have an isomorphism f : ( + X[X])XT'3 through the substitution morphism X eix. Therefore T'3 ( + X[X])X.

Theorem 2. The integral domain T'3 is an HFD having irreducible elements, up to units, trigonometric polynomials of the form Cosx + iSinx a, where a \{0}.

Proof. Since X is a prime in + X[X] [1, Example 1.8 (b)], so ( + X[X])X is a localization of + X[X] by a multiplicative system generated by a prime. Also + X[X] is an HFD [2, Proposition 3.1]. Therefore ( + X[X])X is an HFD [1, Corollary 2.5]. Now use the isomorphism T'3 : ( + X[X])Xin Conclusion 2.

2.3 The Construction of T' 4

Consider the set T'4 of polynomials of the form

such that α, β ∈ R, γ, δ, where α, β, γ and δ are not simultaneously zero. Let z T'4 be an arbitrary element, so we may write it as

where ak= and , a0.

Setting

we have

where α'k, β'k, a0, and α, β, γ, δ.

Since z is an arbitrary, every element of T'4 is of the form

Conversely, for α0(i) and αk, 1 < k < 2n, consider

As ei x = Cosx + iSinx,so for

We have

where

Therefore every element which is of the form einx P(ei x ), n , where P(X) ∈(i) + X[X], is in T'4.

Conclusion 3. The consequence of above construction is: T'4 = {einx P(eix ), n , where P(X) ∈(i) + X[X]}. So once again we have an isomorphism f : ((i) + X[X])XT'4 through the substitution morphism X eix. Therefore T'4 ((i) + X[X])X.

Theorem 3. The integral domain T'4 is an HFD having irreducible elements, up to units, trigonometric polynomials of the form Cosx + iSinx a, where a \{0}.

Proof. The proof follows analogous to Theorem 1 and 2.

The following is the analogue of [15, Corollary 2.2] and gives the factorization in T'4 instead of T'.

Corollary 1. Let z = (akCoskx + bk Sinkx), n \{1}, ak, bkwith (an, bn) ≠ (0, 0), such that an= (α + γ) + i(β + δ) and bn= (δβ) + i(α − γ), where α, β, γ, δ. Let d be a common divisor of the integers k such that (ak, bk) ≠ (0, 0). Then z has a unique factorization

Proof. Since T'4 T', therefore proof follows by [15, Corollary 2.2].

Remark 1. The factorization in T'2 and T'3 is an analogue of Corollary 1.

Now onwards the symbol ∩ in all diagrams will represent the inclusion ⊆.

Remark 2. Consider the following ascending chain of substructures of [X]

+ X[X] ⊆ + X[X] ⊆ (i) + X[X] ⊆[X],

where + X[X], + X[X] and (i) + X[X] are HFDs, whereas C[X] is a Euclidean domain. The localization of all these four by a multiplicative system generated by X preserves their factorization properties.

Using Conclusion 1, Conclusion 2, Conclusion 3 and [15, Theorem 2.1], we have

where T'2, T'3, T'4 are HFDs contained in the Euclidean domain T'. So we can see that there is a ascend of factorization properties for each of these four structures.

Remark 3. Due to the domain extensions

we obtain the following four extended ideals.

1. Consider the domain extension [X] ⊆ ([X])X. Since X[X] is a maximal ideal of [X] and X[X] ∩(X) = ≠ ϕ, the extended ideal (X[X])e = ([X])X[25, Corollary 2]. Hence (X[X])e

T' by [15, Theorem 2.1].

2. If we consider the domain extension + X[X] ⊆ ( + X[X])X, we observe that X[X] is a maximal ideal of [X] and X[X] ∩ (X) ≠ ϕ. Therefore the extended ideal (X[X])e = ( + X[X])X[25, Corollary 2]. Hence (X[X])e

T'2 by Conclusion 1.

3. Analogous to (2) we have (X[X])e

T'3 using Conclusion 2, since X[X] is a maximal ideal of [X] for the domain extension + X[X] ⊆ ( + X[X])X.

4. Once again analogous to (2) and (3) we have (X[X])e

T'4 using Conclusion 3, since X[X] is a maximal ideal of [X] for the domain extension (i) + X[X] ⊆ ((i) + X[X])X.

Definition 1. We denote the set T'2 for α = 0 by I2and is defined as

Definition 2. We denote the set T'3 for γ = 0 by I3and is defined as

Definition 3. We denote the set T'4 for γ = δ = 0 by I4and is defined as

Remark 4. By Definition 2 and Definition 3, we have I3 = I4, so onwards we use I to denote I3 and I4.

Lemma 1. For the maximal ideal X[X] (respectively X[X]) of + X[X] (respectively of + X[X] and (i) + X[X]), we have (X[X])X

I2(respectively (X[X])X
I).

Proof. Follows by Conclusion 1 (respectively Conclusion 2 and Conclusion 3).

3 CONDITIONS SATISFIED BY TRIGONOMETRIC POLYNOMIAL RING EXTENSIONS

In this section we study two special conditions among trigonometric polynomial ring extensions. First one known as Condition 1, is borrowed from [16, page 661] and the second one is borrowed from [20]. We denote the group of units of a ring B by U (B).

Condition 1. Let A B be a unitary (commutative) ring extension. For each x B there exist x' U (B) and x" A such that x = x'x".

Example 1. Following [16, Example 1.1].

a) If the ring extension A B satisfies Condition 1, the ring extension A + XB[X] ⊆ B[X] (or A + XB[[X]] ⊆ B[[X]]) also satisfies Condition 1.

b) If the ring extensions A B and B C satisfy Condition 1, so does the ring extension A C.

c) If B is a fraction ring of A, the ring extension A B satisfies Condition 1. Hence the ring extension A B satisfying Condition 1 is a generalization of localization.

d) If B is a field, the ring extension A B satisfies Condition 1.

Condition 2. Let A B be a unitary (commutative) ring extension and let A1B1be a unitary (commutative) ring extension where A A1and B B1. Then for each x B1there exist x' U (B) and x" A1such that x = x'x" .

Lemma 2. Let A B be a unitary (commutative) ring extension which satisfies Condition 1. If N is a multiplicative system in A then the ring extension N−1 A N−1 B satisfies Condition 2.

Proof. Since the ring extension A B satisfies Condition 1, for each a B there exist b U (B) and c A such that a = bc. Obviously N−1 A N−1 B. Let x = N−1 B. Then x = , a B, s N. This implies x = IMG, where b U (B) and N−1 A.

The converse of Lemma 2 does not hold in general. The following proposition addresses this fact.

Proposition 1. Let A B be a unitary (commutative) ring extension. Let the domain extension A1B1satisfies Condition 2 and the domain extension A A1satisfies Condition 1, where A A1and B B1. If U (B1) = U (B) and U (B1) ∩ A1 = U (A1). Then the domain extension A B satisfies Condition 1.

Proof. Since the domain extension A1B1 satisfies Condition 2, for each x B B1 there exist x'1 U (B) and A1 such that x = x'1. Now if A, there is nothing to prove. If A1\A, we proceed as follows. Since the domain extension A A1 satisfies Condition 1, for A1 there exist x'2U (A1) and A such that = x'2. It follows that x = x'1x'2. As U (B1) = U (B) and U (B1) ∩ A1 = U (A1), so x'1x'2 U (B) and A. Therefore A B satisfies Condition 1.

Proposition 2. Let A B B1be a unitary (commutative) ring extension. Assume that the domain extension A B1 satisfies Condition 2. Then the domain extension A B satisfies Condition 1.

Proof. The domain extension A B1 satisfies Condition 2, so for each x B B1 there exist x' U (B) and x" A such that x = x'x". Therefore A B satisfies Condition 1.

Example 2. Let A B be a unitary (commutative) ring extension. Let N = U (A) is a multiplicative system in A. Assume that the domain extension N−1 A N−1 B satisfies Condition 2. Then the domain extension A B satisfies Condition 1.

Example 3. Some more interesting examples satisfying Condition 1 are as follows.

(a) If the ring extensions A B and B C satisfy Condition 2, so does the ring extension A C.

(b) For A = A1 and B = B1 the Condition 1 and Condition 2 coincides.

(c) If the ring extension A1B1 satisfies Condition 2, it does satisfies Condition 1.

(d) By Lemma 2, the ring extensions T'2 T'3, T'3 T'4, and T'4 T' satisfy Condition 2 so do the ring extensions T'2 T'4, T'2 T', and T'3 T'.

3.1 Conclusion

Consider the commutative inclusion diagram due to Remark 2.

The following table concludes our discussion on Condition 1 and Condition 2 among trigonometric polynomial ring extensions.

Note that the extensions + X[X] ⊆ T'3, + X[X] ⊆ T'4, (i) + X[X] ⊆ T', T'2 T'4, T'2 T' and T'3 T' satisfy Condition 2 due to transitivity.

3.2 Future Work and Applications

It is exciting that at the close of this paper, there are still some directions for future research work. In polynomial rings, factorization properties of integral domains have been a frequent topic of recent mathematical literature but the study of factorization properties in trigonometric polynomials is not addressed that much. So it seems to be really interesting to investigate factorization properties of trigonometric polynomial rings and this can open a new challenge for the researchers.

In addition to the applications mentioned in the introduction, we would like to highlight an application of trigonometric polynomials in symbolic computation. In [13], J. Mulholland and M. Monagan presented algorithms for simplifying ratios of trigonometric polynomials and algorithms for dividing, factoring and computing greatest common divisors of trigonometric polynomials. The provided algorithms do not always lead to the simplest form. A possible direction of study could be to provide enough general algorithms for finding a simplest form.
