When I apply the function "CoefficientsOfUnivariatePolynomial" to the
unit polynomial I get the result [ 1 ], as expected:
For the zero polynomial, however, it returns an empty set:
Yes. the zero polynomial is stored by an empty coefficient list, as
there are no nonzero coefficients.
Why isn't the result [ 0 ] ?
Because storing the zero polynomial that way would require extra
treatment in some arithmetic routines (e.g. multiplication).
Could this be a bug?
No. This is intended.
Best wishes,
