Description.

Memory Management

void fq_zech_poly_factor_init(fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Initialises fac for use. An fq_zech_poly_factor_t represents a polynomial in factorised form as a product of polynomials with associated exponents.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_clear(fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Frees all memory associated with fac.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_realloc(fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, slong alloc, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Reallocates the factor structure to provide space for precisely alloc factors.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_fit_length(fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, slong len, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Ensures that the factor structure has space for at least len factors. This functions takes care of the case of repeated calls by always at least doubling the number of factors the structure can hold.

Basic Operations

void fq_zech_poly_factor_set(fq_zech_poly_factor_t res, const fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Sets res to the same factorisation as fac.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_print_pretty(const fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Pretty-prints the entries of fac to standard output.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_print(const fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Prints the entries of fac to standard output.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_insert(fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, const fq_zech_poly_t poly, slong exp, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Inserts the factor poly with multiplicity exp into the factorisation fac.

If fac already contains poly, then exp simply gets added to the exponent of the existing entry.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_concat(fq_zech_poly_factor_t res, const fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Concatenates two factorisations.

This is equivalent to calling fq_zech_poly_factor_insert() repeatedly with the individual factors of fac.

Does not support aliasing between res and fac.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_pow(fq_zech_poly_factor_t fac, slong exp, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Raises fac to the power exp.

ulong fq_zech_poly_remove(fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_poly_t p, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Removes the highest possible power of p from f and returns the exponent.

Irreducibility Testing

int fq_zech_poly_is_irreducible(const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Returns 1 if the polynomial f is irreducible, otherwise returns 0.

int fq_zech_poly_is_irreducible_ddf(const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Returns 1 if the polynomial f is irreducible, otherwise returns 0. Uses fast distinct-degree factorisation.

int fq_zech_poly_is_irreducible_ben_or(const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Returns 1 if the polynomial f is irreducible, otherwise returns 0. Uses Ben-Or’s irreducibility test.

int _fq_zech_poly_is_squarefree(const fq_zech_struct * f, slong len, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Returns 1 if (f, len) is squarefree, and 0 otherwise. As a special case, the zero polynomial is not considered squarefree. There are no restrictions on the length.

int fq_zech_poly_is_squarefree(const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Returns 1 if f is squarefree, and 0 otherwise. As a special case, the zero polynomial is not considered squarefree.

Factorisation

int fq_zech_poly_factor_equal_deg_prob(fq_zech_poly_t factor, flint_rand_t state, const fq_zech_poly_t pol, slong d, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Probabilistic equal degree factorisation of pol into irreducible factors of degree d. If it passes, a factor is placed in factor and 1 is returned, otherwise 0 is returned and the value of factor is undetermined.

Requires that pol be monic, non-constant and squarefree.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_equal_deg(fq_zech_poly_factor_t factors, const fq_zech_poly_t pol, slong d, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Assuming pol is a product of irreducible factors all of degree d, finds all those factors and places them in factors. Requires that pol be monic, non-constant and squarefree.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_distinct_deg(fq_zech_poly_factor_t res, const fq_zech_poly_t poly, slong * const *degs, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Factorises a monic non-constant squarefree polymnomial poly of degree n into factors \(f[d]\) such that for \(1 \leq d \leq n\) \(f[d]\) is the product of the monic irreducible factors of poly of degree \(d\). Factors are stored in res, assotiated powers of irreducible polynomials are stored in degs in the same order as factors.

Requires that degs have enough space for irreducible polynomials’ powers (maximum space required is \(n * sizeof(slong)\)).

void fq_zech_poly_factor_squarefree(fq_zech_poly_factor_t res, const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Sets res to a squarefree factorization of f.

void fq_zech_poly_factor(fq_zech_poly_factor_t res, fq_zech_t lead, const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Factorises a non-constant polynomial f into monic irreducible factors choosing the best algorithm for given modulo and degree. The output lead is set to the leading coefficient of \(f\) upon return. Choice of algorithm is based on heuristic measurments.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_cantor_zassenhaus(fq_zech_poly_factor_t res, const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Factorises a non-constant polynomial f into monic irreducible factors using the Cantor-Zassenhaus algorithm.

Factorises a non-constant polynomial f into monic irreducible factors using the fast version of Cantor-Zassenhaus algorithm proposed by Kaltofen and Shoup (1998). More precisely this algorithm uses a “baby step/giant step” strategy for the distinct-degree factorization step.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_berlekamp(fq_zech_poly_factor_t factors, const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Factorises a non-constant polynomial f into monic irreducible factors using the Berlekamp algorithm.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_with_berlekamp(fq_zech_poly_factor_t res, fq_zech_t leading_coeff, const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t)

Factorises a general polynomial f into monic irreducible factors and sets leading_coeff to the leading coefficient of f, or 0 if f is the zero polynomial.

This function first checks for small special cases, deflates f if it is of the form \(p(x^m)\) for some \(m > 1\), then performs a square-free factorisation, and finally runs Berlekamp on all the individual square-free factors.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_with_cantor_zassenhaus(fq_zech_poly_factor_t res, fq_zech_t leading_coeff const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Factorises a general polynomial f into monic irreducible factors and sets leading_coeff to the leading coefficient of f, or 0 if f is the zero polynomial.

This function first checks for small special cases, deflates f if it is of the form \(p(x^m)\) for some \(m > 1\), then performs a square-free factorisation, and finally runs Cantor-Zassenhaus on all the individual square-free factors.

void fq_zech_poly_factor_with_kaltofen_shoup(fq_zech_poly_factor_t res, fq_zech_t leading_coeff, const fq_zech_poly_t f, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Factorises a general polynomial f into monic irreducible factors and sets leading_coeff to the leading coefficient of f, or 0 if f is the zero polynomial.

This function first checks for small special cases, deflates f if it is of the form \(p(x^m)\) for some \(m > 1\), then performs a square-free factorisation, and finally runs Kaltofen-Shoup on all the individual square-free factors.

void fq_zech_poly_iterated_frobenius_preinv(fq_zech_poly_t *rop, slong n, const fq_zech_poly_t v, const fq_zech_poly_t vinv, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)

Sets rop[i] to be \(x^{q^i} mod v\) for \(0 <= i < n\).

It is required that vinv is the inverse of the reverse of v mod x^lenv.
