Dense univariate polynomials over \(\ZZ/n\ZZ\), implemented using FLINT

This module gives a fast implementation of \((\ZZ/n\ZZ)[x]\) whenever \(n\) is at most sys.maxsize. We use it by default in preference to NTL when the modulus is small, falling back to NTL if the modulus is too large, as in the example below.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<a> = PolynomialRing(Integers(100))
sage: type(a)
<class 'sage.rings.polynomial.polynomial_zmod_flint.Polynomial_zmod_flint'>
sage: R.<a> = PolynomialRing(Integers(5*2^64))
sage: type(a)
<class 'sage.rings.polynomial.polynomial_modn_dense_ntl.Polynomial_dense_modn_ntl_ZZ'>
sage: R.<a> = PolynomialRing(Integers(5*2^64), implementation="FLINT")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: FLINT does not support modulus 92233720368547758080

class sage.rings.polynomial.polynomial_zmod_flint.Polynomial_template

Bases: Polynomial

Template for interfacing to external C / C++ libraries for implementations of polynomials.

This file implements a simple templating engine for linking univariate polynomials to their C/C++ library implementations. It requires a ‘linkage’ file which implements the celement_ functions (see sage.libs.ntl.ntl_GF2X_linkage for an example). Both parts are then plugged together by inclusion of the linkage file when inheriting from this class. See sage.rings.polynomial.polynomial_gf2x for an example.

We illustrate the generic glueing using univariate polynomials over \(\mathop{\mathrm{GF}}(2)\).

Note

Implementations using this template MUST implement coercion from base ring elements and get_unsafe(). See Polynomial_GF2X for an example.

truncate(n)

Returns this polynomial mod \(x^n\).

sage: f = sum(x^n for n in range(10)); f
x^9 + x^8 + x^7 + x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1
sage: f.truncate(6)
x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1

If the precision is higher than the degree of the polynomial then the polynomial itself is returned:

_mul_(right)

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x> = GF(2)[]
sage: x*(x+1)
x^2 + x

_mul_trunc_(right, n)

Return the product of this polynomial and other truncated to the given length \(n\).

This function is usually more efficient than simply doing the multiplication and then truncating. The function is tuned for length \(n\) about half the length of a full product.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<a>=GF(7)[]
sage: a = P(range(10)); b = P(range(5, 15))
sage: a._mul_trunc_(b, 5)
4*a^4 + 6*a^3 + 2*a^2 + 5*a

factor()

Returns the factorization of the polynomial.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<x> = GF(5)[]
sage: (x^2 + 1).factor()
(x + 2) * (x + 3)

It also works for prime-power moduli:

sage: R.<x> = Zmod(23^5)[]
sage: (x^3 + 1).factor()
(x + 1) * (x^2 + 6436342*x + 1)

is_irreducible()

Return whether this polynomial is irreducible.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<x> = GF(5)[]
sage: (x^2 + 1).is_irreducible()
False
sage: (x^3 + x + 1).is_irreducible()
True

Not implemented when the base ring is not a field:

sage: S.<s> = Zmod(10)[]
sage: (s^2).is_irreducible()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
NotImplementedError: checking irreducibility of polynomials over rings with composite characteristic is not implemented

monic()

Return this polynomial divided by its leading coefficient.

Raises ValueError if the leading coefficient is not invertible in the base ring.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<x> = GF(5)[]
sage: (2*x^2+1).monic()
x^2 + 3

rational_reconstruct(*args, **kwds)

Deprecated: Use rational_reconstruction() instead. See trac ticket #12696 for details.

rational_reconstruction(m, n_deg=0, d_deg=0)

Construct a rational function n/d such that \(p*d\) is equivalent to \(n\) modulo \(m\) where \(p\) is this polynomial.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x> = GF(5)[]
sage: p = 4*x^5 + 3*x^4 + 2*x^3 + 2*x^2 + 4*x + 2
sage: n, d = p.rational_reconstruction(x^9, 4, 4); n, d
(3*x^4 + 2*x^3 + x^2 + 2*x, x^4 + 3*x^3 + x^2 + x)
sage: (p*d % x^9) == n
True

resultant(other)

Returns the resultant of self and other, which must lie in the same polynomial ring.

INPUT:

• other – a polynomial

OUTPUT: an element of the base ring of the polynomial ring

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<x> = GF(19)['x']
sage: f = x^3 + x + 1;  g = x^3 - x - 1
sage: r = f.resultant(g); r
11
sage: r.parent() is GF(19)
True

The following example shows that trac ticket #11782 has been fixed:

sage: R.<x> = ZZ.quo(9)['x']
sage: f = 2*x^3 + x^2 + x;  g = 6*x^2 + 2*x + 1
sage: f.resultant(g)
5

reverse(degree=None)

Return a polynomial with the coefficients of this polynomial reversed.

If an optional degree argument is given the coefficient list will be truncated or zero padded as necessary before computing the reverse.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<x> = GF(5)[]
sage: p = R([1,2,3,4]); p
4*x^3 + 3*x^2 + 2*x + 1
sage: p.reverse()
x^3 + 2*x^2 + 3*x + 4
sage: p.reverse(degree=6)
x^6 + 2*x^5 + 3*x^4 + 4*x^3
sage: p.reverse(degree=2)
x^2 + 2*x + 3

sage: R.<x> = GF(101)[]
sage: f = x^3 - x + 2; f
x^3 + 100*x + 2
sage: f.reverse()
2*x^3 + 100*x^2 + 1
sage: f.reverse() == f(1/x) * x^f.degree()
True

Note that if \(f\) has zero constant coefficient, its reverse will have lower degree.

sage: f = x^3 + 2*x
sage: f.reverse()
2*x^2 + 1

In this case, reverse is not an involution unless we explicitly specify a degree.

sage: f
x^3 + 2*x
sage: f.reverse().reverse()
x^2 + 2
sage: f.reverse(5).reverse(5)
x^3 + 2*x

revert_series(n)

Return a polynomial \(f\) such that \(f(self(x)) = self(f(x)) = x mod x^n\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<t> =  GF(5)[]
sage: f = t + 2*t^2 - t^3 - 3*t^4
sage: f.revert_series(5)
3*t^4 + 4*t^3 + 3*t^2 + t

sage: f.revert_series(-1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: argument n must be a non-negative integer, got -1

sage: g = - t^3 + t^5
sage: g.revert_series(6)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: self must have constant coefficient 0 and a unit for coefficient t^1

sage: g = t + 2*t^2 - t^3 -3*t^4 + t^5
sage: g.revert_series(6)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: the integers 1 up to n=5 are required to be invertible over the base field

small_roots(*args, **kwds)

See sage.rings.polynomial.polynomial_modn_dense_ntl.small_roots() for the documentation of this function.

EXAMPLES:

sage: N = 10001
sage: K = Zmod(10001)
sage: P.<x> = PolynomialRing(K)
sage: f = x^3 + 10*x^2 + 5000*x - 222
sage: f.small_roots()
[4]

squarefree_decomposition()

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<x> = GF(5)[]
sage: ((x+1)*(x^2+1)^2*x^3).squarefree_decomposition()
(x + 1) * (x^2 + 1)^2 * x^3
