Prime Representing Polynomial with 10 Unknowns

Summary In this article we formalize in Mizar [1], [2] the final step of our attempt to formally construct a prime representing polynomial with 10 variables proposed by Yuri Matiyasevich in [4]. The first part of the article includes many auxiliary lemmas related to multivariate polynomials. We start from the properties of monomials, among them their evaluation as well as the power function on polynomials to define the substitution for multivariate polynomials. For simplicity, we assume that a polynomial and substituted ones as i-th variable have the same number of variables. Then we study the number of variables that are used in given multivariate polynomials. By the used variable we mean a variable that is raised at least once to a non-zero power. We consider both adding unused variables and eliminating them. The second part of the paper deals with the construction of the polynomial proposed by Yuri Matiyasevich. First, we introduce a diophantine polynomial over 4 variables that has roots in integers if and only if indicated variable is the square of a natural number, and another two is the square of an odd natural number. We modify the polynomial by adding two variables in such a way that the root additionally requires the divisibility of these added variables. Then we modify again the polynomial by adding two variables to also guarantee the nonnegativity condition of one of these variables. Finally, we combine the prime diophantine representation proved in [7] with the obtained polynomial constructing a prime representing polynomial with 10 variables. This work has been partially presented in [8] with the obtained polynomial constructing a prime representing polynomial with 10 variables in Theorem (85).
