Direct Known Subclasses:

CyclotomicField

public class ModularRing

extends Ring

Implements a ring R/fR where R is an element of the ring R.

Currently only implemented for polynomial rings R. Might therefore be used for constructing algebraic extensions over fields.

Use the class ModularIntegerRing for constructing Z/mZ.

Constructor Detail

ModularRing

public ModularRing(RingElt m)

Constructs m.getRing()/m * m.getRing(). Currently only implemented for polynomial rings.

Method Detail

setHideMod

public void setHideMod(boolean hideMod)

Determins the behaviour of the eltToString() method. If method is called with true, the return value of eltToString() is of the form "a" instead of "a mod b".

hideMod

public void hideMod()

Determins the behaviour of the eltToString() method. If this method is called, the return value of eltToString() is of the form "a" instead of "a mod b".

displayMod

public void displayMod()

Determins the behaviour of the eltToString() method. If this method is called, the return value of eltToString() is of the form "a mod b" instead of "a". This is the default.

getHideMod

public boolean getHideMod()

true if hideMod() has been called. False otherwise.

getModulus

public RingElt getModulus()

Returns f if this is R/fR.

getValue

public RingElt getValue(RingElt b)

Returns the value of b as an element of R.

add

public RingElt add(RingElt a,
                   RingElt b)

Addition.

Overrides:

add in class Ring

mult

public RingElt mult(RingElt a,
                    RingElt b)

Multiplication.

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 the inverse b.

Overrides:

inv in class Ring

Throws:

RingException - if gcd(b,f) != 1.

neg

public RingElt neg(RingElt b)

Returns -b.

Overrides:

neg in class Ring

equalZero

public boolean equalZero(RingElt b)

true if b == 0, false otherwise.

Overrides:

equalZero in class Ring

map

public RingElt map(java.lang.String str)

Maps str first into R, then into this.

Overrides:

map in class Ring

map

public RingElt map(RingElt a)

If the ring of a is a quotient field we map the quotient of numerator and denominator. Otherwise we map a first into R, then into this Ring. If a.getRing().equals(this), a is also mapped.

Overrides:

map in class Ring

eltToString

public java.lang.String eltToString(RingElt a)

Returns a in the form "a" or "a mod f" depending on the value of hideMod.

Overrides:

eltToString in class Ring
