Thanks for the helpful response. The appropriate code for computing Gamma(n).ncusps() is
n=self.level() if n<=2: return[None,1,3][n] return ZZ(sum([moebius(d)*(n/d)^2/ZZ(2) for d in n.divisors()])) But can I impose on someone who knows the ticketing procedure to get this implemented? Thanks. *************************************************************************************************** On Dec 20, 9:21 am, John Cremona <john.crem...@gmail.com> wrote: > You are right, and you can see the reason like this: > > sage: G = Gamma(5) > sage: G.ncusps?? > > shows that the code is a one-liner > > return ZZ(len(self.cusps())) > > i.e. a complete set of cusps is computed (to see how, do G.cusps??), > while for the other groups a formula is used, e.g. > > sage: G = Gamma0(5) > sage: G.ncusps?? > > shows the code > > n = self.level() > return sum([arith.euler_phi(arith.gcd(d,n//d)) for d in > n.divisors()]) > > and > > sage: G = Gamma1(5) > sage: G.ncusps?? > > shows the code > > n = self.level() > if n <= 4: > return [None, 1, 2, 2, 3][n] > return ZZ(sum([phi(d)*phi(n/d)/ZZ(2) for d in n.divisors()])) > > Why don't you open a ticket to improve this by implementing a suitabel > formula for the principal congruence subgroups? > > John Cremona > > On Dec 19, 10:51 pm, rje <ronevan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Sage is slow in computing the number of > > cusps for Gamma(n). > > > Look, for example, at the disparity in times below. > > > sage: time Gamma(5).ncusps() > > CPU times: user 52.02 s, sys: 0.24 s, total: 52.26 s > > Wall time: 52.29 s > > 12 > > > sage: time Gamma0(5).ncusps() > > CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s > > Wall time: 0.00 s > > 2 > > > sage: time Gamma1(5).ncusps() > > CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s > > Wall time: 0.00 s > > 4- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
