Constructor Detail

AlgebraicExtension

public AlgebraicExtension(RingI K,
                          Polynomial poly)

Create the ring K(t) where t is a solution of the monic polynomial p.

Parameters:

poly - A monic polynomial whose solution gives an algebraic number which is used to generate this group.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the base ring of the poly is not the same.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the polynomial is not monic.

toString in class FreeGroup

getPoly

public Polynomial getPoly()

Returns the polynomial defining the algebraic number.

getSubsPoly

public Polynomial getSubsPoly()

Returns the polynomial -a_(n-1) t^(n-1) + ... + a_0. This polynomial is used in reducing the equation t^n
