Bases: UniqueRepresentation, Parent

The integer-valued polynomial ring over a base ring \(R\).

Integer-valued polynomial rings are commutative and associative algebras, with a basis indexed by non-negative integers.

There are two natural bases, made of the sequence \(\binom{x}{n}\) for \(n \geq 0\) (the binomial basis) and of the other sequence \(\binom{x+n}{n}\) for \(n \geq 0\) (the shifted basis).

These two bases are available as follows:

sage: B = IntegerValuedPolynomialRing(QQ).Binomial()
sage: S = IntegerValuedPolynomialRing(QQ).Shifted()

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> B = IntegerValuedPolynomialRing(QQ).Binomial()
>>> S = IntegerValuedPolynomialRing(QQ).Shifted()

or by using the shortcuts:

sage: B = IntegerValuedPolynomialRing(QQ).B()
sage: S = IntegerValuedPolynomialRing(QQ).S()

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> B = IntegerValuedPolynomialRing(QQ).B()
>>> S = IntegerValuedPolynomialRing(QQ).S()

There is a conversion formula between the two bases:

\[\binom{x}{i} = \sum_{k=0}^{i} (-1)^{i-k} \binom{i}{k} \binom{x+k}{k}\]

with inverse:

\[\binom{x+i}{i} = \sum_{k=0}^{i} \binom{i}{k} \binom{x}{k}.\]

Bases: CombinatorialFreeModule, BindableClass

The integer-valued polynomial ring in the binomial basis.

The basis used here is given by \(B[i] = \binom{x}{i}\) for \(i \in \NN\).

Assuming \(n_1 \leq n_2\), the product of two monomials \(B[n_1] \cdot B[n_2]\) is given by the sum

\[\sum_{k=0}^{n_1} \binom{n_1}{k}\binom{n_1+n_2-k}{n_1} B[n_1 + n_2 - k].\]

The product of two monomials is therefore a positive linear combination of monomials.
