This category represents the product of some set with respect to an indexing set. The set S
is considered as the ``basis elements''
and the elements from A
as ``coefficients''
. Elements may have infinite support. For Comparable
(ordered) S
we assume that support of each element is well-orderd.
construct(l)
takes a list of terms and creates the object with these components. First components of elements of l
should be different.
constructOrdered(l)
takes a list of terms and creates the object with these components. The list is assumed to be sorted (in reverse order) with respect to the ordering of S
. If R
is a monoid, then the list is assumed to contain no zero elements. Caution: No checking is performed, so this should only be used in cases where those conditions are assured. If in doubt use construct
.
leadingCoefficient(z)
returns the coefficient of the leading (with respect to the ordering on the indexing set) monomial of z
. Error: if z
has no support.
leadingMonomial(x)
returns the monomial supported by the first element from S
. Error: if x
has no support.
leadingSupport(z)
returns the index of leading (with respect to the ordering on the indexing set) monomial of z
. Error: if z
has no support.
leadingTerm(x)
returns the leading (with respect to the ordering on the indexing set) term of z
. Error: if z
has no support.
map(f, z)
returns the new element created by applying the function f
to each component of the direct product element z
.
monomial(a, s)
constructs a direct product element with the s
component set to a
monomial?(x)
returns true
if x
is a single monomial, that is support of x
consists of a single element.
reductum(z)
returns a new element created by removing the leading coefficient/support pair from the element z
. Error: if z
has no support.
