Laurent polynomial
In mathematics, a Laurent polynomial (named after Pierre Alphonse Laurent) in one variable over a field F {\displaystyle \mathbb {F} } is a linear combination of positive and negative powers of the variable with coefficients in F {\displaystyle \mathbb {F} } . Laurent polynomials in X {\displaystyle X} form a ring denoted F [ X , X − 1 ] {\displaystyle \mathbb {F} [X,X^{-1}]} .
