NC.LC
Leading coefficient of a polynomial over a free monoid ring.
Syntax
NC.LC(F:LIST):INT or RAT
Description
Please note: The function(s) explained on this page is/are using the ApCoCoAServer. You will have to start the ApCoCoAServer in order to use it/them.
Please set ring environment coefficient field K, alphabet (or set of indeterminates) X and ordering via the functions NC.SetFp, NC.SetX and NC.SetOrdering, respectively, before calling the function. Default coefficient field is Q. Default ordering is length-lexicographic ordering ("LLEX"). For more information, please check the relevant functions.
@param F: a polynomial in K<X>. Each polynomial is represented as a LIST of monomials, which are pairs of the form [C, W] where W is a word in <X> and C is the coefficient of W. For example, the polynomial F=xy-y+1 is represented as F:=[[1,"xy"], [-1, "y"], [1,""]]. The zero polynomial 0 is represented as an empty LIST [].
@return: a INT or RAT which represents the leading coefficient of F w.r.t. current ordering. If F=0, the function returns 0.
Example
NC.SetX(<quotes>abc</quotes>); F:=[[1,<quotes>ab</quotes>],[2,<quotes>aa</quotes>],[3,<quotes>bb</quotes>],[4,<quotes>bab</quotes>]]; NC.SetOrdering(<quotes>ELIM</quotes>); NC.LC(F); 2 ------------------------------- NC.SetOrdering(<quotes>LLEX</quotes>); NC.LC(F); 4 ------------------------------- NC.LC([]); -- 0 polynomial 0 -------------------------------
