public class ModularIntegerRing

extends Ring

The modular integer ring Z/nZ. This ring uses the BigInteger arithmetic of the java.math.* package and is therefore more efficient then a construction via the ModularRing class of this package

Constructor Detail

ModularIntegerRing

public ModularIntegerRing(java.lang.Object modulus)

Construction of Z/mZ with m = modulus.

Parameters:

modulus - An instance of a BigInteger or a RingElt which can be mapped to Ring.Z.

ModularIntegerRing

public ModularIntegerRing(int m)

Method Detail

getModulus

public java.math.BigInteger getModulus()

Returns m where this ModularIntegerRing is Z/mZ.

toBigInteger

public static java.math.BigInteger toBigInteger(RingElt b)

Returns the BigInteger value of b. A value between 0 and m

add

public RingElt add(RingElt a,
                   RingElt b)

Returns a + b mod m.

Overrides:

add in class Ring

mult

public RingElt mult(RingElt a,
                    RingElt b)

Returns a * b mod m.

Overrides:

mult in class Ring

one

public RingElt one()

Returns 1.

Overrides:

one in class Ring

zero

public RingElt zero()

Returns 0.

Overrides:

zero in class Ring

inv

public RingElt inv(RingElt b)

Returns b^-1 mod m. b must be an unit in Z/mZ.

Overrides:

inv in class Ring

Throws:

java.lang.ArithmeticException - if b is not an unit mod m.

tdiv

public RingElt tdiv(RingElt a,
                    RingElt b)

The same as div(a,b). b must be a unit of Z/mZ.

Overrides:

tdiv in class Ring

neg

public RingElt neg(RingElt b)

Returns -b mod m.

Overrides:

neg in class Ring

equalZero

public boolean equalZero(RingElt b)

True if b == 0, false otherwise.

Overrides:

equalZero in class Ring

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object ob)

Two ModularIntegerRing objects are equal, if the modulus is the same.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

map

public RingElt map(RingElt a)

Performs the ususal map as in Ring.map(RingElt). In addition an element of another ModularIntegerRing M with M.modulus == this.modulus is mapped to this. (Not yet implemented: Mapping in case that this.modulus is a divisor of M.modulus. Also to do (if this makes sense): Mapping from F2Field if modulus == 2).

Overrides:

map in class Ring
