Analysis reveals methods to solve polynomial equations and find roots in split-octonions over arbitrary fields, suggesting broader applicability in algebra.
Over the split-octonion algebra defined over an arbitrary field, we solve all polynomial equations whose coefficients are scalar except for the constant term. As an application, we determine the square and cubic roots of an octonion.
