CASA Function: InPolynomial

Convert a polynomial from alpha-form to Root-Of form.

Calling Sequence:

• P := InPolynomial(p,F)
• P := InPolynomial(p,F,alpha)

Parameters:

p : polynomial

• A polynomial over the finite field F.

F : casa/finite/field

• The finite field of the coefficients of p.

Result:

P : casa/finite/Polynomial

• A polynomial over a finite field in Root-Of Form.

Description:

• Puts a polynomial into Root-Of form
• The polynomial is stored in RootOfs.

Examples:

> F8:= finiteField(8);

> P := InPolynomial(alpha^2*x+alpha,F8);
