Differential resolvents of minimal order and weight

We will determine the number of powers of α that appear with nonzero coefficient in an α-power linear differential resolvent of smallest possible order of a univariate polynomial P(t) whose coefficients lie in an ordinary differential field and whose distinct roots are differentially independent ove...
