padic.h – p-adic numbers

Data structures

A \(p\)-adic number of type padic_t comprises a unit \(u\), a valuation \(v\), and a precision \(N\). We provide the following macros to access these fields, so that code can be developed somewhat independently from the underlying data layout.

fmpz * padic_unit(const padic_t op)

Returns the unit part of the \(p\)-adic number as a FLINT integer, which can be used as an operand for the fmpz functions.

slong padic_val(const padic_t op)

Returns the valuation part of the \(p\)-adic number.

Note that this function is implemented as a macro and that the expression padic_val(op) can be used as both an emph{lvalue} and an emph{rvalue}.

slong padic_get_val(const padic_t op)

Returns the valuation part of the \(p\)-adic number.

slong padic_prec(const padic_t op)

Returns the precision of the \(p\)-adic number.

Note that this function is implemented as a macro and that the expression padic_prec(op) can be used as both an emph{lvalue} and an emph{rvalue}.

slong padic_get_prec(const padic_t op)

Returns the precision of the \(p\)-adic number.

Context

A context object for \(p\)-adic arithmetic contains data pertinent to \(p\)-adic computations, but which we choose not to store with each element individually. Currently, this includes the prime number \(p\), its double inverse in case of word-sized primes, precomputed powers of \(p\) in the range given by min and max, and the printing mode.

void padic_ctx_init(padic_ctx_t ctx, const fmpz_t p, slong min, slong max, enum padic_print_mode mode)

Initialises the context ctx with the given data.

Assumes that \(p\) is a prime. This is not verified but the subsequent behaviour is undefined if \(p\) is a composite number.

Assumes that min and max are non-negative and that min is at most max, raising an abort signal otherwise.

Assumes that the printing mode is one of PADIC_TERSE, PADIC_SERIES, or PADIC_VAL_UNIT. Using the example \(x = 7^{-1} 12\) in \(\mathbf{Q}_7\), these behave as follows:

In PADIC_TERSE mode, a \(p\)-adic number is printed in the same way as a rational number, e.g. 12/7.

In PADIC_SERIES mode, a \(p\)-adic number is printed digit by digit, e.g. 5*7^-1 + 1.

In PADIC_VAL_UNIT mode, a \(p\)-adic number is printed showing the valuation and unit parts separately, e.g. 12*7^-1.

void padic_ctx_clear(padic_ctx_t ctx);

Clears all memory that has been allocated as part of the context.

int _padic_ctx_pow_ui(fmpz_t rop, ulong e, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Sets rop to \(p^e\) as efficiently as possible, where rop is expected to be an uninitialised fmpz_t.

If the return value is non-zero, it is the responsibility of the caller to clear the returned integer.

Memory management

void padic_init(padic_t rop)

Initialises the \(p\)-adic number with the precision set to PADIC_DEFAULT_PREC, which is defined as \(20\).

void padic_init2(padic_t rop, slong N)

Initialises the \(p\)-adic number rop with precision \(N\).

void padic_clear(padic_t rop)

Clears all memory used by the \(p\)-adic number rop.

void _padic_canonicalise(padic_t rop, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Brings the \(p\)-adic number rop into canonical form.

That is to say, ensures that either \(u = v = 0\) or \(p \nmid u\). There is no reduction modulo a power of \(p\).

void _padic_reduce(padic_t rop, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Given a \(p\)-adic number rop in canonical form, reduces it modulo \(p^N\).

void padic_reduce(padic_t rop, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Ensures that the \(p\)-adic number rop is reduced.

Randomisation

void padic_randtest(padic_t rop, flint_rand_t state, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Sets rop to a random \(p\)-adic number modulo \(p^N\) with valuation in the range \([- \ceil{N/10}, N)\), \([N - \ceil{-N/10}, N)\), or \([-10, 0)\) as \(N\) is positive, negative or zero, whenever rop is non-zero.

void padic_randtest_not_zero(padic_t rop, flint_rand_t state, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Sets rop to a random non-zero \(p\)-adic number modulo \(p^N\), where the range of the valuation is as for the function padic_randtest().

void padic_randtest_int(padic_t rop, flint_rand_t state, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Sets rop to a random \(p\)-adic integer modulo \(p^N\).

Note that whenever \(N \leq 0\), rop is set to zero.

Assignments and conversions

All assignment functions set the value of rop from op, reduced to the precision of rop.

void padic_set(padic_t rop, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Sets rop to the \(p\)-adic number op.

Sets the MPIR rational rop to the value of op.

void padic_swap(padic_t op1, padic_t op2)

Swaps the two \(p\)-adic numbers op1 and op2.

Note that this includes swapping the precisions. In particular, this operation is not equivalent to swapping op1 and op2 using padic_set() and an auxiliary variable whenever the precisions of the two elements are different.

void padic_zero(padic_t rop)

Sets the \(p\)-adic number rop to zero.

void padic_one(padic_t rop)

Returns whether op is equal to zero.

int padic_is_one(const padic_t op)

Returns whether op is equal to one, that is, whether \(u = 1\) and \(v = 0\).

int padic_equal(const padic_t op1, const padic_t op2)

Returns whether op1 and op2 are equal, that is, whether \(u_1 = u_2\) and \(v_1 = v_2\).

Arithmetic operations

slong * _padic_lifts_exps(slong *n, slong N)

Given a positive integer \(N\) define the sequence \(a_0 = N, a_1 = \ceil{a_0/2}, \dotsc, a_{n-1} = \ceil{a_{n-2}/2} = 1\). Then \(n = \ceil{\log_2 N} + 1\).

This function sets \(n\) and allocates and returns the array \(a\).

void _padic_lifts_pows(fmpz *pow, const slong *a, slong n, const fmpz_t p)

Given an array \(a\) as computed above, this function computes the corresponding powers of \(p\), that is, pow[i] is equal to \(p^{a_i}\).

void padic_div(padic_t rop, const padic_t op1, const padic_t op2, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

void _padic_inv_precompute(padic_inv_t S, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

Pre-computes some data and allocates temporary space for \(p\)-adic inversion using Hensel lifting.

void _padic_inv_clear(padic_inv_t S)

Frees the memory used by \(S\).

void _padic_inv_precomp(fmpz_t rop, const fmpz_t op, const padic_inv_t S)

Sets rop to the inverse of op modulo \(p^N\), assuming that op is a unit and \(N \geq 1\).

In the current implementation, allows aliasing, but this might change in future versions.

Uses some data \(S\) precomputed by calling the function _padic_inv_precompute(). Note that this object is not declared const and in fact it carries a field providing temporary work space. This allows repeated calls of this function to avoid repeated memory allocations, as used e.g. by the function padic_log().

void _padic_inv(fmpz_t rop, const fmpz_t op, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

Sets rop to the inverse of op modulo \(p^N\), assuming that op is a unit and \(N \geq 1\).

In the current implementation, allows aliasing, but this might change in future versions.

void padic_inv(padic_t rop, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Computes the inverse of op modulo \(p^N\).

Suppose that op is given as \(x = u p^v\). Raises an abort signal if \(v < -N\). Otherwise, computes the inverse of \(u\) modulo \(p^{N+v}\).

This function employs Hensel lifting of an inverse modulo \(p\).

int padic_sqrt(padic_rop, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Returns whether op is a \(p\)-adic square. If this is the case, sets rop to one of the square roots; otherwise, the value of rop is undefined.

We have the following theorem:

Let \(u \in \mathbf{Z}^{\times}\). Then \(u\) is a square if and only if \(u \bmod p\) is a square in \(\mathbf{Z} / p \mathbf{Z}\), for \(p > 2\), or if \(u \bmod 8\) is a square in \(\mathbf{Z} / 8 \mathbf{Z}\), for \(p = 2\).

void padic_pow_si(padic_t rop, const padic_t op, slong e, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Sets rop to op raised to the power \(e\), which is defined as one whenever \(e = 0\).

Assumes that some computations involving \(e\) and the valuation of op do not overflow in the slong range.

Note that if the input \(x = p^v u\) is defined modulo \(p^N\) then \(x^e = p^{ev} u^e\) is defined modulo \(p^{N + (e - 1) v}\), which is a precision loss in case \(v < 0\).

Exponential

slong _padic_exp_bound(slong v, slong N, const fmpz_t p)

Returns an integer \(i\) such that for all \(j \geq i\) we have \(\ord_p(x^j / j!) \geq N\), where \(\ord_p(x) = v\).

When \(p\) is a word-sized prime, returns \(\ceil{\frac{(p-1)N - 1}{(p-1)v - 1}}\). Otherwise, returns \(\ceil{N/v}\).

Assumes that \(v < N\). Moreover, \(v\) has to be at least \(2\) or \(1\), depending on whether \(p\) is \(2\) or odd.

void _padic_exp_rectangular(fmpz_t rop, const fmpz_t u, slong v, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

void _padic_exp_balanced(fmpz_t rop, const fmpz_t u, slong v, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

void _padic_exp(fmpz_t rop, const fmpz_t u, slong v, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

Sets rop to the \(p\)-exponential function evaluated at \(x = p^v u\), reduced modulo \(p^N\).

Assumes that \(x \neq 0\), that \(\ord_p(x) < N\) and that \(\exp(x)\) converges, that is, that \(\ord_p(x)\) is at least \(2\) or \(1\) depending on whether the prime \(p\) is \(2\) or odd.

Supports aliasing between rop and \(u\).

int padic_exp(padic_t y, const padic_t x, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Returns whether the \(p\)-adic exponential function converges at the \(p\)-adic number \(x\), and if so sets \(y\) to its value.

The \(p\)-adic exponential function is defined by the usual series

\[\exp_p(x) = \sum_{i = 0}^{\infty} \frac{x^i}{i!}\]

but this only converges only when \(\ord_p(x) > 1 / (p - 1)\). For elements \(x \in \mathbf{Q}_p\), this means that \(\ord_p(x) \geq 1\) when \(p \geq 3\) and \(\ord_2(x) \geq 2\) when \(p = 2\).

int padic_exp_rectangular(padic_t y, const padic_t x, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Returns whether the \(p\)-adic exponential function converges at the \(p\)-adic number \(x\), and if so sets \(y\) to its value.

Uses a rectangular splitting algorithm to evaluate the series expression of \(\exp(x) \bmod{p^N}\).

int padic_exp_balanced(padic_t y, const padic_t x, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Returns whether the \(p\)-adic exponential function converges at the \(p\)-adic number \(x\), and if so sets \(y\) to its value.

Uses a balanced approach, balancing the size of chunks of \(x\) with the valuation and hence the rate of convergence, which results in a quasi-linear algorithm in \(N\), for fixed \(p\).

Logarithm

slong _padic_log_bound(slong v, slong N, const fmpz_t p)

Returns \(b\) such that for all \(i \geq b\) we have

\[i v - \ord_p(i) \geq N\]

where \(v \geq 1\).

Assumes that \(1 \leq v < N\) or \(2 \leq v < N\) when \(p\) is odd or \(p = 2\), respectively, and also that \(N < 2^{f-2}\) where \(f\) is FLINT_BITS.

void _padic_log(fmpz_t z, const fmpz_t y, slong v, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

void _padic_log_rectangular(fmpz_t z, const fmpz_t y, slong v, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

void _padic_log_satoh(fmpz_t z, const fmpz_t y, slong v, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

void _padic_log_balanced(fmpz_t z, const fmpz_t y, slong v, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

Computes

\[z = - \sum_{i = 1}^{\infty} \frac{y^i}{i} \pmod{p^N},\]

reduced modulo \(p^N\).

Note that this can be used to compute the \(p\)-adic logarithm via the equation

\[\begin{split}\begin{align*} \log(x) & = \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{i-1} \frac{(x-1)^i}{i} \\ & = - \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac{(1-x)^i}{i}. \end{align*}\end{split}\]

Assumes that \(y = 1 - x\) is non-zero and that \(v = \ord_p(y)\) is at least \(1\) when \(p\) is odd and at least \(2\) when \(p = 2\) so that the series converges.

Assumes that \(v < N\), and hence in particular \(N \geq 2\).

Does not support aliasing between \(y\) and \(z\).

int padic_log(padic_t rop, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Returns whether the \(p\)-adic logarithm function converges at the \(p\)-adic number op, and if so sets rop to its value.

The \(p\)-adic logarithm function is defined by the usual series

\[\log_p(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{i-1} \frac{(x-1)^i}{i}\]

but this only converges when \(\ord_p(x)\) is at least \(2\) or \(1\) when \(p = 2\) or \(p > 2\), respectively.

int padic_log_rectangular(padic_t rop, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Returns whether the \(p\)-adic logarithm function converges at the \(p\)-adic number op, and if so sets rop to its value.

Uses a rectangular splitting algorithm to evaluate the series expression of \(\log(x) \bmod{p^N}\).

int padic_log_satoh(padic_t rop, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Returns whether the \(p\)-adic logarithm function converges at the \(p\)-adic number op, and if so sets rop to its value.

Uses an algorithm based on a result of Satoh, Skjernaa and Taguchi that \(\ord_p\bigl(a^{p^k} - 1\bigr) > k\), which implies that

\[\log(a) \equiv p^{-k} \Bigl( \log\bigl(a^{p^k}\bigr) \pmod{p^{N+k}} \Bigr) \pmod{p^N}.\]

int padic_log_balanced(padic_t rop, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Returns whether the \(p\)-adic logarithm function converges at the \(p\)-adic number op, and if so sets rop to its value.

Special functions

void _padic_teichmuller(fmpz_t rop, const fmpz_t op, const fmpz_t p, slong N)

Computes the Teichmuller lift of the \(p\)-adic unit op, assuming that \(N \geq 1\).

Supports aliasing between rop and op.

void padic_teichmuller(padic_t rop, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Computes the Teichmuller lift of the \(p\)-adic unit op.

If op is a \(p\)-adic integer divisible by \(p\), sets rop to zero, which satisfies \(t^p - t = 0\), although it is clearly not a \((p-1)\)-st root of unity.

If op has negative valuation, raises an abort signal.

ulong padic_val_fac_ui_2(ulong n)

Computes the \(2\)-adic valuation of \(n!\).

Note that since \(n\) fits into an ulong, so does \(\ord_2(n!)\) since \(\ord_2(n!) \leq (n - 1) / (p - 1) = n - 1\).

ulong padic_val_fac_ui(ulong n, const fmpz_t p)

Computes the \(p\)-adic valuation of \(n!\).

Note that since \(n\) fits into an ulong, so does \(\ord_p(n!)\) since \(\ord_p(n!) \leq (n - 1) / (p - 1)\).

void padic_val_fac(fmpz_t rop, const fmpz_t op, const fmpz_t p)

Sets rop to the \(p\)-adic valuation of the factorial of op, assuming that op is non-negative.

Input and output

char * padic_get_str(char * str, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Returns the string representation of the \(p\)-adic number op according to the printing mode set in the context.

If str is NULL then a new block of memory is allocated and a pointer to this is returned. Otherwise, it is assumed that the string str is large enough to hold the representation and it is also the return value.

int _padic_fprint(FILE * file, const fmpz_t u, slong v, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

int padic_fprint(FILE * file, const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Prints the string representation of the \(p\)-adic number op to the stream file.

In the current implementation, always returns \(1\).

int _padic_print(const fmpz_t u, slong v, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

int padic_print(const padic_t op, const padic_ctx_t ctx)

Prints the string representation of the \(p\)-adic number op to the stream stdout.

In the current implementation, always returns \(1\).

void padic_debug(const padic_t op)

Prints debug information about op to the stream stdout, in the format "(u v N)".
