Head templates: {{en-noun}} polynomial function (plural polynomial functions)
  1. (mathematics) Any function whose value is the solution of a polynomial; an element of a subring of the ring of all functions over an integral domain, which subring is the smallest to contain all the constant functions and also the identity function.
