Description (last modified by malb)

Polynomial sequences over GF(2) should have a solve method which supports solving via

  • Gröbner bases (PolyBoRi)
  • SAT solving (CryptoMiniSat and friends)
  • exhaustive search (FES library)
  • (Mixed Integer Programming) (Sage's MIP stuff and SCIP)

All these interfaces exist, they only need to be properly exposed.

comment:7 Changed 9 years ago by Bouillaguet

I am submitting a patch, but it is not ready for review. There is (at least) a problem with eliminate_linear_variables=True, but it should work fine when this is false...

I welcome any comments ;)

This time it means business

comment:10 Changed 9 years ago by malb

Patch looks good, I haven't installed it yet though (gosh, those are a lot of dependencies!). We should have a solve() for generic polynomial sequences as well, not only for GF(2). I guess for GF(2^e) we can offer at least two options: solve() via GB or solve via weil restriction and solving over GF(2).

comment:11 Changed 9 years ago by Bouillaguet

I think that the piece of code that eliminates variables occurring linearly could part of the most general solve() (where only GB would be possible...). Then in the subclasses, there could be other possible algorithms, such as SAT, etc.

Very nice! But the optional arguments are not correct: 

./sage -t --show-skipped multi_polynomial_sequence.py

i.e. the "needs" is incorrect.

Hmmmm.... This ticket's message seems to say that LP solvers are made available through the solve() method, but it does not seem to appear in the doc, nor in the code O_o

  • Status changed from new to needs_review

I fixed the problem. Somehow importing BooleanPolynomialRing at the top level is no longer possible. I have no clue why

comment:26 Changed 8 years ago by vbraun

Its pretty clear that BooleanPolynomialRing imports multi_polynomial_sequence, so if multi_polynomial_sequence also imports BooleanPolynomialRing then you have a circular import.

comment:27 Changed 8 years ago by Bouillaguet

Alright, but this used to be working (otherwise I suspect that malb wouldn't have given the positive review). Thus, I understand that BooleanPolynomialRing? imported multi_polynomial_sequence somewhere between 5.13 and 6.1
