Base class for multivariate polynomial rings#

class sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ring_base.BooleanPolynomialRing_base[source]#

Bases: MPolynomialRing_base

Abstract base class for BooleanPolynomialRing.

This class is defined for the purpose of isinstance tests. It should not be instantiated.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ring_base import BooleanPolynomialRing_base
sage: R.<x, y, z> = BooleanPolynomialRing()                                     # needs sage.rings.polynomial.pbori
sage: isinstance(R, BooleanPolynomialRing_base)                                 # needs sage.rings.polynomial.pbori
True

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ring_base import BooleanPolynomialRing_base
>>> R = BooleanPolynomialRing(names=('x', 'y', 'z',)); (x, y, z,) = R._first_ngens(3)# needs sage.rings.polynomial.pbori
>>> isinstance(R, BooleanPolynomialRing_base)                                 # needs sage.rings.polynomial.pbori
True

By design, there is only one direct implementation subclass:

sage: len(BooleanPolynomialRing_base.__subclasses__()) <= 1
True

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> len(BooleanPolynomialRing_base.__subclasses__()) <= Integer(1)
True

  2. interpolation(bound, function)

INPUT:

  • bound – either an integer bounding the total degree or a list/tuple of integers bounding the degree of the variables

  • points – list/tuple containing the evaluation points

  • values – list/tuple containing the desired values at points

  • function – evaluable function in \(n\) variables, where \(n\) is the number of variables of the polynomial ring

OUTPUT:

  1. A polynomial respecting the bounds and having values as values when evaluated at points.

  2. A polynomial respecting the bounds and having the same values as function at exactly so many points so that the polynomial is unique.

ALGORITHM:

Solves a linear system of equations with the linear algebra module. If the points are not specified, it samples exactly as many points as needed for a unique solution.

Note

It will only run if the base ring is a field, even though it might work otherwise as well. If your base ring is an integral domain, let it run over the fraction field.

Also, if the solution is not unique, it spits out one solution, without any notice that there are more.

Lastly, the interpolation function for univariate polynomial rings is called lagrange_polynomial().

Warning

If you don’t provide point/value pairs but just a function, it will only use as many points as needed for a unique solution with the given bounds. In particular it will not notice or check whether the result yields the correct evaluation for other points as well. So if you give wrong bounds, you will get a wrong answer without any warning.

krull_dimension()[source]#
macaulay_resultant(*args, **kwds)[source]#

Return the Macaulay resultant.

This computes the resultant of universal polynomials as well as polynomials with constant coefficients. This is a project done in sage days 55. It is based on the implementation in Maple by Manfred Minimair, which in turn is based on the references listed below. It calculates the Macaulay resultant for a list of polynomials, up to sign!

REFERENCES:

AUTHORS:

  • Hao Chen, Solomon Vishkautsan (7-2014)

INPUT:

  • args – a list of \(n\) homogeneous polynomials in \(n\) variables. works when args[0] is the list of polynomials, or args is itself the list of polynomials

kwds:

  • sparse – boolean (default: False); if True, the function creates sparse matrices.

OUTPUT:

  • the Macaulay resultant, an element of the base ring of self

Todo

Working with sparse matrices should usually give faster results, but with the current implementation it actually works slower. There should be a way to improve performance with regards to this.

EXAMPLES:

The following example is by Patrick Ingram (arXiv 1310.4114):

A simple example with constant rational coefficients:

sage: R.<x,y,z,w> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 4)
sage: R.macaulay_resultant([w, z, y, x])                                    # needs sage.modules

An example where the resultant vanishes:

sage: R.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3)
sage: R.macaulay_resultant([x + y, y^2, x])                                 # needs sage.modules

An example of bad reduction at a prime \(p = 5\):

sage: R.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3)
sage: R.macaulay_resultant([y, x^3 + 25*y^2*x, 5*z])                        # needs sage.libs.pari sage.modules

125

The input can given as an unpacked list of polynomials:

sage: R.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3)
sage: R.macaulay_resultant(y, x^3 + 25*y^2*x, 5*z)                          # needs sage.libs.pari sage.modules

An example when the coefficients live in a finite field:

sage: F = FiniteField(11)
sage: R.<x,y,z,w> = PolynomialRing(F, 4)
sage: R.macaulay_resultant([z, x^3, 5*y, w])                                # needs sage.modules sage.rings.finite_rings

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> F = FiniteField(Integer(11))
>>> R = PolynomialRing(F, Integer(4), names=('x', 'y', 'z', 'w',)); (x, y, z, w,) = R._first_ngens(4)

Example when the denominator in the algorithm vanishes(in this case the resultant is the constant term of the quotient of char polynomials of numerator/denominator):

sage: R.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3)
sage: R.macaulay_resultant([y, x + z, z^2])                                 # needs sage.libs.pari sage.modules

When there are only 2 polynomials, the Macaulay resultant degenerates to the traditional resultant:

sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 1)
sage: f =  x^2 + 1; g = x^5 + 1
sage: fh = f.homogenize()
sage: gh = g.homogenize()

ngens()[source]#
random_element(degree=2, terms=None, choose_degree=False, *args, **kwargs)[source]#

Return a random polynomial of at most degree \(d\) and at most \(t\) terms.

First monomials are chosen uniformly random from the set of all possible monomials of degree up to \(d\) (inclusive). This means that it is more likely that a monomial of degree \(d\) appears than a monomial of degree \(d-1\) because the former class is bigger.

Exactly \(t\) distinct monomials are chosen this way and each one gets a random coefficient (possibly zero) from the base ring assigned.

The returned polynomial is the sum of this list of terms.

INPUT:

  • degree – maximal degree (likely to be reached) (default: 2)

  • terms – number of terms requested (default: 5). If more terms are requested than exist, then this parameter is silently reduced to the maximum number of available terms.

  • choose_degree – choose degrees of monomials randomly first rather than monomials uniformly random.

  • **kwargs – passed to the random element generator of the base ring

To produce a dense polynomial, pick terms=Infinity:

remove_var(order=None, *var)[source]#

Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, w over Integer Ring
sage: P.remove_var(z, x)

Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, w over Integer Ring
>>> P.remove_var(z, x)
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in y, w over Integer Ring

Removing all variables results in the base ring:

If possible, the term order is kept:

Degree lexicographic term order

sage: R.<x,y,z,w> = PolynomialRing(ZZ, order='lex')
