See the entry "failure function" in the maths encyclopedia of PlanetMath.org.

The relevant paper "A Theorem a la Ramanujan" is also on PM.

The real question should be:

When the OP says "it is official", what is "it"??

The only real thing that is official is that the OP has
proven himself an authentic loon.

I did (http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/F...Functions.html). In the default view style (HTML with images), there's a message

However, selecting view style "TeX source" gets one to a readable entry.

Is there any way to change that view style default?

It is irrelevant. Even in the proper style, what was written is nonsense.
Indeed, it "isn't even wrong".

As written:

The function psi is undefined, the variable x is used to mean two different
things in two different places, and the conclusion is meaningless since
psi(x) is undefined. And if psi(x) is a polynomial, then the result
is false. Finally, the post fails to give a definition of N. There is no
universal definition. Sometimes it means Z+, and other times it means
{0, Z+}.

Finding polynomial functions that are composite and positive for every
element in their domain is *trivial*. Take any polynomial with no real roots
and non-zero content.

The OP is just another clueless crank.

I should have added: polynomial with positive coefficients.
