nmod_poly_factor_squarefree

Synopsis#include <flint/nmod_poly_factor.h>
void nmod_poly_factor_squarefree(nmod_poly_factor_t res, const nmod_poly_t f)source

Sets res to the squarefree factorisation of f: monic squarefree polynomials g_i, pairwise coprime and with distinct exponents e_i, such that f = c \prod_i g_i^{e_i} with c the leading coefficient of f. A constant f gives the empty factorisation.

This is gr_poly_factor_squarefree: Yun's algorithm for the part with multiplicities prime to p, and recursion on the p-th root of the remaining part, which is a polynomial in x^p. See Squarefree factorisation.
