The copyright holder grants you permission to redistribute this
document freely as a verbatim copy. Furthermore, the copyright
holder permits you to develop any derived work from this document
provided that the following conditions are met.
a) The derived work acknowledges the fact that it is derived from
this document, and maintains a prominent reference in the
work to the original source.
b) The fact that the derived work is not the original OpenMath
document is stated prominently in the derived work. Moreover if
both this document and the derived work are Content Dictionaries
then the derived work must include a different CDName element,
chosen so that it cannot be confused with any works adopted by
the OpenMath Society. In particular, if there is a Content
Dictionary Group whose name is, for example, `math' containing
Content Dictionaries named `math1', `math2' etc., then you should
not name a derived Content Dictionary `mathN' where N is an integer.
However you are free to name it `private_mathN' or some such. This
is because the names `mathN' may be used by the OpenMath Society
for future extensions.
c) The derived work is distributed under terms that allow the
compilation of derived works, but keep paragraphs a) and b)
intact. The simplest way to do this is to distribute the derived
work under the OpenMath license, but this is not a requirement.
If you have questions about this license please contact the OpenMath
society at http://www.openmath.org.

This CD contains operators to deal with polynomials and more precisely Recursive Polynomials. Note that polynomials are regarded as univariates in their most significant variable (as defined by the order in PolynomialRingR: the first variable to appear is the most significant), with monomials in decreasing order of exponent, and coefficients being polynomials in the rest of the variables. This means that polynomials have a unique representation, except for the fact that yz \in Z[x,y,z] could also be represented as x^0yz. This latter is discouraged, but currently not expressly forbidden.

Definition of data-structure constructors
The polynomial x^2*y^6 + 3*y^5 can be conceptually encoded as
poly_r_rep(x,
term(2,poly_r_rep(y,
term(6,1))),
term(0,poly_r_rep(y,
term(5,3))))
It lies in polynomial_ring_r(Z,x,y) (and other rings, of course)
The polynomial 2*y^3*z^5 + x + 1 can be conceptually encoded as
poly_r_rep(x,
term(1,1),
term(0,poly_r_rep(y,
term(3,poly_r_rep(z,
term(5,2))),
term(0,1))))
A constructor for monomials, that is products of powers and elements of the base ring. First argument is from N (the exponent of the variable implied by an outer poly_r_rep) second argument is a coefficient (from the ground field, or a polynomial in lesser variables).
| [Next: poly_r_rep] [Last: polynomial_ring_r] [Top] |
A constructor for the representation of polynomials. The first argument is the polynomial variable, the rest are monomials (in decreasing order of exponent).
| [Next: polynomial_r] [Previous: term] [Top] |
The constructor of Recursive Polynomials. The first argument is the polynomial ring containing the polynomial and the second is a "poly_r_rep".
| [Next: polynomial_ring_r] [Previous: poly_r_rep] [Top] |
Polynomial ring constructor
The constructor of a recursive polynomial ring. The first argument is a ring (the ring of the coefficients), the rest are the variables (in order).
