Description
|
|
•
|
The Gcd function is a placeholder for representing the greatest common divisor of a and b where a and b are polynomials. If s and t are specified, they are assigned the cofactors. Gcd is used in conjunction with either mod, modp1 or evala as described below which define the coefficient domain.
|
•
|
The call Gcd(a, b) mod p computes the greatest common divisor of a and b modulo p a prime integer. The inputs a and b must be polynomials over the rationals or over a finite field specified by RootOf expressions.
|
•
|
The call modp1(Gcd(a, b), p) does likewise for a and b, polynomials in the modp1 representation.
|
•
|
The call evala(Gcd(a, b)) does likewise for a and b, multivariate polynomials with algebraic coefficients defined by RootOf or radicals expressions. See evala,Gcd for more information.
