I am not convinced of this, because: If there are some useful mechanisms involving polynomials and their inverses, then picking a form of polynomial inverse which caters to those mechanisms would be less arbitrary than picking a form of polynomial inverse which does not have any useful application. [This would still be arbitrary if polynomials were considered in a vacuum, but would not be arbitrary in the context of J.] -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
