Hello,
I'm just looking at axiom again after some years, and I've run into a
little conundrum. I have two objects, an element u of the finite field
FF(7,4), and the defining polynomial f of that field. Thus:
(67) -> u
(67) ->
3 2
(67) 5%A + 5%A + %A
Type:
FiniteField(7,4)
68) -> f
(68) ->
4
(68) ? + ? + 1
Type: SparseUnivariatePolynomial PrimeField
7
What I want to do is to coerce both objects to polynomials over PF 7, so
that I can factorize the result. I want something like
(69) -> factor(5*b^3+5*b^2+b+b^4+b+1::POLY PF 7)
(69) ->
(69) (b + 1)(b + 2)(b + 3)(b + 6)
Type: Factored Polynomial PrimeField
7
But how can I obtain the polynomial in expression (69) without typing it
in; that is, from u and f directly?
Thanks,
Alasdair
