int fq_nmod_mpoly_sqrt(fq_nmod_mpoly_t Q, const fq_nmod_mpoly_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

If \(Q^2=A\) has a solution, set \(Q\) to a solution and return \(1\), otherwise return \(0\) and set \(Q\) to zero.

int fq_nmod_mpoly_is_square(const fq_nmod_mpoly_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Return \(1\) if A is a perfect square, otherwise return \(0\).

int fq_nmod_mpoly_quadratic_root(fq_nmod_mpoly_t Q, const fq_nmod_mpoly_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_t B, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

If \(Q^2+AQ=B\) has a solution, set \(Q\) to a solution and return \(1\), otherwise return \(0\).

Univariate Functions

An fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t holds a univariate polynomial in some main variable with fq_nmod_mpoly_t coefficients in the remaining variables. These functions are useful when one wants to rewrite an element of \(\mathbb{F}_q[x_1, \dots, x_m]\) as an element of \((\mathbb{F}_q[x_1, \dots, x_{v-1}, x_{v+1}, \dots, x_m])[x_v]\) and vice versa.

void fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_init(fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Initialize A.

void fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_clear(fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Clear A.

void fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_swap(fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t A, fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t B, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Swap A and \(B\).

void fq_nmod_mpoly_to_univar(fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_t B, slong var, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Set A to a univariate form of B by pulling out the variable of index var. The coefficients of A will still belong to the content ctx but will not depend on the variable of index var.

void fq_nmod_mpoly_from_univar(fq_nmod_mpoly_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t B, slong var, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Set A to the normal form of B by putting in the variable of index var. This function is undefined if the coefficients of B depend on the variable of index var.

int fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_degree_fits_si(const fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Return \(1\) if the degree of A with respect to the main variable fits an slong. Otherwise, return \(0\).

slong fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_length(const fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Return the number of terms in A with respect to the main variable.

slong fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_get_term_exp_si(fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t A, slong i, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Return the exponent of the term of index i of A.

void fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_get_term_coeff(fq_nmod_mpoly_t c, const fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t A, slong i, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

void fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_swap_term_coeff(fq_nmod_mpoly_t c, fq_nmod_mpoly_univar_t A, slong i, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

Set (resp. swap) c to (resp. with) the coefficient of the term of index i of A.
