NCo.BDeg

The standard degree of a polynomial in a free monoid ring over the binary field F_{2}={0,1}.

Syntax

NCo.BDeg(F:LIST):INT

Description

Please set ring environment alphabet (or set of indeterminates) X and word ordering via the functions NCo.SetX and NCo.SetOrdering, respectively, before calling this function. The default ordering is the length-lexicographic ordering ("LLEX"). For more information, please check the relevant functions.

  • @param F: a polynomial in the free monoid ring F_{2}<X>. Each polynomial is represented as a LIST of words (or terms) in <X>. Each word is represented as a STRING. For example, xy^2x is represented as "xyyx", and the identity is represented as the empty string "". Thus, the polynomial F=xy-y+1 is represented as F:=["xy", "y", ""]. The zero polynomial 0 is represented as the empty LIST [].

  • @return: a INT which represents the standard degree of F. If F=0, the function returns 0.

Example

NCo.SetX(<quotes>xX</quotes>);
NCo.SetOrdering(<quotes>LLEX</quotes>);
F1:=[<quotes>xX</quotes>,<quotes></quotes>];
NCo.BDeg(F1);
