Would you mind telling me what huge means ? It does make a difference when one writes the code. Probably with hundreds of vertices. That's huge ? Okay I see. I'm glad I asked. So it's not larger than 65536 :-P This was only for you to see what the graphs look like :-) Well, ... sage: P =

Y !! I certainly can recall dealing with lots and lots of small posets (typical for algebraic combinatorics: your combinatorial objects are small, but you are often considering all of them at once because you are talking formal linear combinations of them and likewise). I also

Hmmm... Looks like there is already something like that in .hasse_diagram, in the _leq_matrix() method : def _leq_matrix(self): ... # Redefine self.is_lequal self.is_lequal = self._alternate_is_lequal ... Though this Matrix is defined to be a sparse matrix defined on ZZ. Don't know

[sage-devel] Conversions without mathematical sense between polynomial rings

2013-12-31 Thread Jean-Pierre Flori
Dear all, Currently one can obtain surprising results in Sage when converting polynomial over finite fields (or elements of quotient rings of univariate polynomial ring even though tht's not the primary concern of the ticket). See http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/11239 Basically the generators

Hi Simon, Warning: I am partially playing advocatus diavoli here. That can be very useful! so let me just say here that I think this principle (that conversions need not be canonical) shouldn't be pushed further than reasonable. Yes, but for a rather relaxed notion of reasonable.

Yes, agree that this is slightly different. I also agree that it would be much better if the pexpect interfaces would have been written against non-echoing tty. Of course that'll only work if the subprocess doesn't turn echoing back on. The downside is of course that you have to rewrite the

I sometimes illustrate techniques of polynomial factorization in a class by starting with a polynomial in ZZ[x] and converting it to a polynomial in GF(insert_large_prime)[x]. I realize this is not an instance of two _finite_ fields, but (a) you mention the characteristics are different, and
