In this paper, we present a complete method for solving all polynomials of the form
(``standard polynomials") over any given octonion division algebra. When
is monic, we also consider the companion matrix and its left and right eigenvalues, and study their relations with the roots of
, showing that the right eigenvalues form the
... [Show full abstract] conjugacy classes of the roots of , and the left eigenvalues is an intermediate set.
