Looks good overall.
A big question:
There seems to be a lot of code in OrePolynomial
that I would think would be the in the generic univariate (dense) polynomial code from sage.rings.polynomial.polynomial_element.Polynomial
. Is there a reason you are not inheriting from that? Perhaps we also discussed this previously?
Some comments:
I imagine the change
SkewPolynomialRing = OrePolynomialRing
is because skew polynomials are ore polynomials in univariate case, correct? Will these concepts diverge in the multivariate case? If so, a comment would be good.
Shouldn't the ABC degree
raise an NotImplementedError
?
The leading coefficient of the 0 polynomial is 0 for other polynomial rings:
sage: R.<x> = QQ[] sage: R.zero().leading_coefficient() 0
instead of raising an error. This would also simplify the is_monic
implementation.
Error messages should not end with periods/full-stops (e.g., is_unit
).
Style thing, but I think this is more simple:
- _,r = self.right_quo_rem(other) - return r + return self.right_quo_rem(other)[1]
There is a global instance of _Fields = Fields()
in ring/ring.pyx
, which the check for X in _Fields
is faster than X in Fields
(last time I checked).
In right/left_xlcm
, the math equation should have a period/full-stop at the end.
I feel like the lcm with one of the polynomials being 0
should be 0
. This would match the Sage integers:
sage: lcm(0, 5) 0
However, if you think the current way is the most reasonable, then feel free to ignore.
- - ``monic`` -- boolean (default: ``True``). Return whether the left lcm - should be normalized to be monic. + - ``monic`` -- boolean (default: ``True``); return whether the left lcm + should be normalized to be monic
and similar.
I would instead put the code for checking if the polynomial is zero in __nonzero__
instead of is_zero
as Sage code is more likely to ducktype and check if X:
than if not X.is_zero():
. However, this is a very weak opinion.
Why this
import sage
in ore_polynomial_ring.py
?
You should put UniqueRepresentation
first in the MRO for OrePolynomialRing
; that way there is less lookup for equality/hash/etc. (and less of a chance of it getting accidentally overwritten).
For the OrePolynomialRing
doc, something you might find useful is the .. RUBRIC:: A title
. See, e.g., combinat/root_system/root_system.py
for an example.
Instead of \FF_{x}
, do you mean \GF{x}
?

Thanks for all your comments.
Replying to tscrim:

. Is there a reason you are not inheriting from that? Perhaps we also discussed this previously?
Hum, I don't know. Actually, I just copied this code from the former class SkewPolynomialRing
, which was designed a very long time ago.
However, I think that there are good reasons for separating Ore polynomials and polynomials, e.g. we probably don't want isinstance(P, Polynomial)
to return true when P
is a Ore polynomial as I expect many functions to implicitely interpret an instance of Polynomial
as a commutative polynomial.
I imagine the change
SkewPolynomialRing = OrePolynomialRingis because skew polynomials are ore polynomials in univariate case, correct? Will these concepts diverge in the multivariate case? If so, a comment would be good.
I think that the two locutions are synonymous in all cases; but there are used by different people (and maybe "skew polynomials" is preferred when the twisting derivation is trivial, whereas "Ore polynomials" is preferred otherwise).
The leading coefficient of the 0 polynomial is 0 for other polynomial rings:
sage: R.<x> = QQ[] sage: R.zero().leading_coefficient() 0instead of raising an error. This would also simplify the
is_monic
implementation.
I agree and changed this.
But this modifies the former interface of leading_coefficient
. Should we add a deprecation somewhere?
I feel like the lcm with one of the polynomials being
0
should be0
. This would match the Sage integers:sage: lcm(0, 5) 0However, if you think the current way is the most reasonable, then feel free to ignore.
With polynomials, computing lcm with 0
raises an error:
sage: A.<x> = GF(5)[] sage: P = A(0) sage: P.lcm(x) Traceback (most recent call last): ... ZeroDivisionError: inverse of Mod(0, 5) does not exist
Why this
import sagein
ore_polynomial_ring.py
?
This is used on line 384:
if self.Element is None: self.Element = sage.rings.polynomial.ore_polynomial_element.OrePolynomial_generic_dense
and in several other places

Then the common functionality should be separated out into a common ABC. Although a normal polynomial is just a skew polynomial under the identity map, correct? If so, the Polynomial
class should inherit from the (abstract) SkewPolynomial
.

Okay, thank you for the explanation. Then it doesn't need a comment.

I would be surprised if someone was relying on this behavior. It would also be very difficult to decrement, and I might even argue it was a bug before (so it does not need a deprecation).
I feel like the lcm with one of the polynomials being
0
should be0

I see. Hmm...that is a bit of an annoying inconsistency (from my naïve viewpoint). Well, I guess we should follow what polynomials do.
Why this
import sagein
ore_polynomial_ring.py
?This is used on line 384:
if self.Element is None: self.Element = sage.rings.polynomial.ore_polynomial_element.OrePolynomial_generic_denseand in several other places
Then I think you should do a more localized import, so
from sage.rings.polynomial.ore_polynomial_element import OrePolynomial_generic_dense
at the module level (or in the corresponding methods if there happens to be some import cycle, but there shouldn't be...). This feels weird and like it could lead to some import problem (or requires some large import). I always prefer as localized as possible imports though.

I might be seduced by this idea... but I'm not completely sure it will be approved by all.
In any case, I think that it touches a lot in Sage and we cannot implement this in this ticket. So, I propose to delay this discussion to another ticket (and/or maybe collect opinions about this on sage-devel).

It should be fairly minimal as all it would do is add an additional class to the polynomial hierarchy, and just moving most (all?) of the methods up to that level. As far as anyone using the Polynomial
class, they shouldn't see any difference/changes.
However, since this is mostly moving code that was already there, we can delay it for another ticket.

OK, I created ticket #30054.
comment:22 Changed 23 months ago by
So if that addresses all of my comments, then this is at a positive review (unless you want to make the import of the OrePolynomialRing
a lazy import).
comment:23 follow-up: ↓ 26 Changed 23 months ago by
On my computer, lazy import is much faster (13 μs vs 1.4ms) than an actual import. So, OK for switching.
Btw, why don't we use massively lazy imports at startup if it's much faster?

Historical reasons. Also because some things get imported from the strangest places (things that we want to be fast and loaded at startup), which means we cannot just do it en masse. However, that is a general goal IIRC, to get most things imported lazily.

Okay, here are fixes for the documentation, including a number of tests that were not previously being run. I also fixed the not equals comparison for the skew polynomial injection maps. There were a number of other small trivial fixes (broken links, bad formatting, etc.) that I also fixed.
Documentation now builds and tests pass. So if my changes are good, then positive review.
