This CD contains conversions between different data structures for polynomials. 

first attempt

collect

Description:

This a binary function. Its first argument should be a DMP f, its second argument a list of positive integers L. When applied to f and L, it represents the DMP with coefficients from the poly_ring_d whose variables only have indices i for i not occurring in the list L, and whose monomials are built up from the variables indexed by the entries of L.

list_to_poly_d

Description:

This symbol is a function with two arguments. The first argument is a ring R and the second argument is a list L. The entries of L are elements of R or can be cast canconically onto elements of R. When applied to R and L, the symbol denotes the distributed (univariate) polynomial over R with terms (L[i-1],i) for i running over the indices of L (i=1, ..., length(L)).

Example:
The polynomial X^2+4X+7 with integers coefficients can be represented, without recourse to X, by
  
list_to_poly_d ⁡ ( Z , ( 7 , 4 , 1 ) )
Thus, the above expression is semantically equivalent to
  
DMP ⁡ ( Z , SDMP ⁡ ( term ⁡ ( 7 , 0 ) , term ⁡ ( 4 , 1 ) , term ⁡ ( 1 , 2 ) ) )

poly_d_to_arith

Description:

This symbol is a binary function. The first argument is a DMP and the second argument is a list of objects, typically variables or arithmetic expressions, at least as many as there are variables in the ring to which the DMP belongs. When applied to R and L, the symbol denotes the arithmetic expression that is the sum of the terms with the i-th variable of the ring of the DMP being substituted by the i-th expression or variable of the list L. 

This expression is very close to a substitute, or an application of the DMP, as
viewed as a function, to
as many arguments as there are variables.
Example:
The polynomial X^2+4X+7 with integer coefficients has poly_d form
  
poly_d_to_arith ⁡ ( DMP ⁡ ( poly_ring_d ⁡ ( Z , 1 ) , SDMP ⁡ ( term ⁡ ( 7 , 0 ) , term ⁡ ( 4 , 1 ) , term ⁡ ( 1 , 2 ) ) ) , ( X ) )
This expression represents
  
7 + 4 ⁢ X + X 2

poly_d_named_to_arith

Description:

This symbol is a unary function. Its argument is a DMP with named variables. When applied to R, the symbol denotes the arithmetic expression that is the sum of the terms.

Example:
The polynomial X^2+4X+7 with integers coefficients has poly_d_named form
  
poly_d_to_arith ⁡ ( DMP ⁡ ( poly_ring_d_named ⁡ ( Z , X ) , SDMP ⁡ ( term ⁡ ( 7 , 0 ) , term ⁡ ( 4 , 1 ) , term ⁡ ( 1 , 2 ) ) ) )
This expression represents
  
7 + 4 ⁢ X + X 2
