The standard degree of a polynomial in a non-commutative polynomial ring.
Please set non-commutative polynomial ring (via the command
Use) before calling this function. For more information, please check the relevant commands and functions.
- @param F: a non-commutative polynomial. Each polynomial is represented as a LIST of LISTs, and each element in every inner LIST involves only one indeterminate or none (a constant). For example, the polynomial f=2x[2]y[1]x[2]^2-9y[2]x[1]^2x[2]^3+5 is represented as F:=[[2x[1],y[1],x[2]^2], [-9y[2],x[1]^2,x[2]^3], [5]]. The zero polynomial 0 is represented as the empty LIST [].
- @return: an INT which represents the standard degree of F. Note that the standard degree of 0 is 0.
USE QQ[x[1..2],y[1..2]];
F1:= [[2x[1],x[2]], [13y[2]], [5]]; -- 2x[1]x[2]+13y[2]+5
NC.Deg(F1);
