Then what is your question ? All you need to do is compute the
polynomial for each input sample.

Any non-linear transfer function will do this for some inputs.
If you have an x^N term, anything above Fs/(2*N) will alias.
If you want the nonlinearity without aliasing, you have to
upsample (by a factor N, with N = highest power of x used),
apply the nonlinear function, then downsample.
