irreduc - polynomial irreducibility test
Calling Sequence
irreduc(a)
irreduc(a, K)
Parameters
a
-
multivariate polynomial
K
(optional) algebraic number field extension
Description
The irreduc function tests whether a multivariate polynomial over an algebraic number field is irreducible. It returns true if a is irreducible, false otherwise. Note that a constant polynomial by convention is reducible.
The call irreduc(a) tests for irreducibility over the field implied by the coefficients present; if all the coefficients are rational, then the irreducibility test is over the rationals.
The call irreduc(a, K) tests for irreducibility over the algebraic number field defined by K. K must be a single RootOf, a list or set of RootOfs, a single radical, or a list or set of radicals.
