Multivariate Polynomial Rings over Generic Rings

Sage implements multivariate polynomial rings through several backends. This generic implementation uses the classes PolyDict and ETuple to construct a dictionary with exponent tuples as keys and coefficients as values.

  • David Joyner and William Stein

EXAMPLES:

We construct the Frobenius morphism on \(\GF{5}[x,y,z]\) over \(\GF{5}\):

sage: R.<x,y,z> = GF(5)[]
sage: frob = R.hom([x^5, y^5, z^5])
sage: frob(x^2 + 2*y - z^4)
-z^20 + x^10 + 2*y^5
sage: frob((x + 2*y)^3)
x^15 + x^10*y^5 + 2*x^5*y^10 - 2*y^15
sage: (x^5 + 2*y^5)^3
x^15 + x^10*y^5 + 2*x^5*y^10 - 2*y^15

We make a polynomial ring in one variable over a polynomial ring in two variables:

sage: R.<x, y> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 2)
sage: S.<t> = PowerSeriesRing(R)
sage: t*(x+y)
(x + y)*t

monomial_all_divisors(t)

Return a list of all monomials that divide t, coefficients are ignored.

INPUT:

  • t - a monomial.

OUTPUT: a list of monomials.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ring import MPolynomialRing_polydict_domain

monomial_divides(a, b)

Return False if a does not divide b and True otherwise.

INPUT:

  • a – monomial

  • b – monomial

OUTPUT: Boolean

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(ZZ,3, order='degrevlex')
sage: P.monomial_divides(x*y*z, x^3*y^2*z^4)
True
sage: P.monomial_divides(x^3*y^2*z^4, x*y*z)
False
monomial_lcm(f, g)

LCM for monomials. Coefficients are ignored.

INPUT:

  • f - monomial.

  • g - monomial.

OUTPUT: monomial.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ring import MPolynomialRing_polydict_domain
sage: P.<x,y,z> = MPolynomialRing_polydict_domain(QQ,3, order='degrevlex')
sage: P.monomial_lcm(3/2*x*y, x)
x*y
monomial_pairwise_prime(h, g)

Return True if h and g are pairwise prime.

Both are treated as monomials.

INPUT:

  • h - monomial.

  • g - monomial.

OUTPUT: Boolean.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ring import MPolynomialRing_polydict_domain
sage: P.<x,y,z> = MPolynomialRing_polydict_domain(QQ,3, order='degrevlex')
sage: P.monomial_pairwise_prime(x^2*z^3, y^4)
True

sage: P.monomial_pairwise_prime(1/2*x^3*y^2, 3/4*y^3)
False
monomial_quotient(f, g, coeff=False)

Return f/g, where both f and g are treated as monomials.

Coefficients are ignored by default.

INPUT:

  • f - monomial.

  • g - monomial.

  • coeff - divide coefficients as well (default: False).

OUTPUT: monomial.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ring import MPolynomialRing_polydict_domain
sage: P.<x,y,z> = MPolynomialRing_polydict_domain(QQ, 3, order='degrevlex')
sage: P.monomial_quotient(3/2*x*y, x)
y

sage: P.monomial_quotient(3/2*x*y, 2*x, coeff=True)
3/4*y

Note

Assumes that the head term of f is a multiple of the head term of g and return the multiplicant m. If this rule is violated, funny things may happen.

monomial_reduce(f, G)

Try to find a g in G where g.lm() divides f.

If found, (flt,g) is returned, (0,0) otherwise, where flt is f/g.lm(). It is assumed that G is iterable and contains ONLY elements in this ring.

INPUT:

  • f - monomial

  • G - list/set of mpolynomials

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ring import MPolynomialRing_polydict_domain
sage: P.<x,y,z>=MPolynomialRing_polydict_domain(QQ,3, order='degrevlex')
sage: f = x*y^2
sage: G = [3/2*x^3 + y^2 + 1/2, 1/4*x*y + 2/7, P(1/2)]
sage: P.monomial_reduce(f,G)
