Since αj are the solutions of the polynomial of degree n: , then:
for αj all different,

for each root αj repeated kj times,

for some αj complex, then setting α = χj + iγj, and using Euler's formula, allows some terms in the previous results to be written in the form

where ϕj is an arbitrary constant (phase shift). |
