.. _ca-poly: **ca_poly.h** -- dense univariate polynomials over the real and complex numbers =============================================================================== A :type:`ca_poly_t` represents a univariate polynomial over the real or complex numbers (an element of `\mathbb{R}[X]` or `\mathbb{C}[X]`), implemented as an array of coefficients of type :type:`ca_struct`. Most functions are provided in two versions: an underscore method which operates directly on pre-allocated arrays of coefficients and generally has some restrictions (such as requiring the lengths to be nonzero and not supporting aliasing of the input and output arrays), and a non-underscore method which performs automatic memory management and handles degenerate cases. Warnings: * A polynomial is always normalised by removing zero coefficients at the top. Coefficients will not be removed when Calcium is unable to prove that they are zero. The represented degree can therefore be larger than the degree of the mathematical polynomial. When the correct degree is needed, it is important to verify the leading coefficient. (Of course, this will never be an issue with polynomials that are explicitly monic, for example.) * The special values *Undefined*, unsigned infinity and signed infinity supported by the scalar :type:`ca_t` type are not really meaningful as coefficients of polynomials. We normally assume that the user does not assign those values to coefficients of polynomials, and the functions in this module will likewise normally not generate such coefficients. *Unknown* can still appear as a coefficient representing a number that is inaccessible for computation. A polynomial with numerical coefficients and with a nonzero leading coefficient is called *proper*. The function :func:`ca_poly_is_proper` can be used to check for violations. Types, macros and constants ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .. type:: ca_poly_struct .. type:: ca_poly_t Contains a pointer to an array of coefficients (*coeffs*), the used length (*length*), and the allocated size of the array (*alloc*). A *ca_poly_t* is defined as an array of length one of type *ca_poly_struct*, permitting an *ca_poly_t* to be passed by reference. Memory management ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .. function:: void ca_poly_init(ca_poly_t poly, ca_ctx_t ctx) Initializes the polynomial for use, setting it to the zero polynomial. .. function:: void ca_poly_clear(ca_poly_t poly, ca_ctx_t ctx) Clears the polynomial, deallocating all coefficients and the coefficient array. .. function:: void ca_poly_fit_length(ca_poly_t poly, slong len, ca_ctx_t ctx) Makes sure that the coefficient array of the polynomial contains at least *len* initialized coefficients. .. function:: void _ca_poly_set_length(ca_poly_t poly, slong len, ca_ctx_t ctx) Directly changes the length of the polynomial, without allocating or deallocating coefficients. The value should not exceed the allocation length. .. function:: void _ca_poly_normalise(ca_poly_t poly, ca_ctx_t ctx) Strips any top coefficients which can be proved identical to zero.

This operation preserves the mathematical value represented by *src*, but may result in a different internal representation depending on the settings of the context objects.

The underscore method assumes that *len* is positive and less than or equal to *n*.

The underscore method needs one more coefficient than *len* for the output array. Power series division ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .. function:: void _ca_poly_inv_series(ca_ptr res, ca_srcptr f, slong flen, slong len, ca_ctx_t ctx) void ca_poly_inv_series(ca_poly_t res, const ca_poly_t f, slong len, ca_ctx_t ctx) Sets *res* to the power series inverse of *f* truncated to length *len*. .. function:: void _ca_poly_div_series(ca_ptr res, ca_srcptr f, slong flen, ca_srcptr g, slong glen, slong len, ca_ctx_t ctx) void ca_poly_div_series(ca_poly_t res, const ca_poly_t f, const ca_poly_t g, slong len, ca_ctx_t ctx) Sets *res* to the power series quotient of *f* and *g* truncated to length *len*.

On failure, returns 0 leaving the value of *res* arbitrary. The computation can fail if testing a leading coefficient for zero fails in the execution of the GCD algorithm. The output is normalized to be monic if it is not the zero polynomial. The underscore methods assume `\text{lenA} \ge \text{lenB} \ge 1`, and that both *A* and *B* have nonzero leading coefficient. They return the length of the GCD, or 0 if the computation fails. The *euclidean* version implements the standard Euclidean algorithm. The default version first checks for rational polynomials or attempts to certify numerically that the polynomials are coprime and otherwise falls back to an automatic choice of algorithm (currently only the Euclidean algorithm). Roots and factorization ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .. function:: int ca_poly_factor_squarefree(ca_t c, ca_poly_vec_t fac, ulong * exp, const ca_poly_t F, ca_ctx_t ctx) Computes the squarefree factorization of *F*, giving a product `F = c f_1 f_2^2 \ldots f_n^n` where all `f_i` with `f_i \ne 1` are squarefree and pairwise coprime. The nontrivial factors `f_i` are written to *fac* and the corresponding exponents are written to *exp*. This algorithm can fail if GCD computation fails internally. Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure. .. function:: int ca_poly_squarefree_part(ca_poly_t res, const ca_poly_t poly, ca_ctx_t ctx) Sets *res* to the squarefree part of *poly*, normalized to be monic. This algorithm can fail if GCD computation fails internally. Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure. .. function:: void _ca_poly_set_roots(ca_ptr poly, ca_srcptr roots, const ulong * exp, slong n, ca_ctx_t ctx) void ca_poly_set_roots(ca_poly_t poly, ca_vec_t roots, const ulong * exp, ca_ctx_t ctx) Sets *poly* to the monic polynomial with the *n* roots given in the vector *roots*, with multiplicities given in the vector *exp*. In other words, this constructs the polynomial `(x-r_0)^{e_0} (x-r_1)^{e_1} \cdots (x-r_{n-1})^{e_{n-1}}`. Uses binary splitting. .. function:: int _ca_poly_roots(ca_ptr roots, ca_srcptr poly, slong len, ca_ctx_t ctx) int ca_poly_roots(ca_vec_t roots, ulong * exp, const ca_poly_t poly, ca_ctx_t ctx) Attempts to compute all complex roots of the given polynomial *poly*. On success, returns 1 and sets *roots* to a vector containing all the distinct roots with corresponding multiplicities in *exp*. On failure, returns 0 and leaves the values in *roots* arbitrary. The roots are returned in arbitrary order. Failure will occur if the leading coefficient of *poly* cannot be proved to be nonzero, if determining the correct multiplicities fails, or if the builtin algorithms do not have a means to represent the roots symbolically. The underscore method assumes that the polynomial is squarefree. The non-underscore method performs a squarefree factorization.
