Algebraic numbers

This module implements the algebraic numbers (the complex numbers which are the zero of a polynomial in \(\ZZ[x]\); in other words, the algebraic closure of \(\QQ\), with an embedding into \(\CC\)). All computations are exact. We also include an implementation of the algebraic reals (the intersection of the algebraic numbers with \(\RR\)). The field of algebraic numbers \(\QQbar\) is available with abbreviation QQbar; the field of algebraic reals has abbreviation AA.

As with many other implementations of the algebraic numbers, we try hard to avoid computing a number field and working in the number field; instead, we use floating-point interval arithmetic whenever possible (basically whenever we need to prove non-equalities), and resort to symbolic computation only as needed (basically to prove equalities).

Algebraic numbers exist in one of the following forms:

  • a rational number

  • the sum, difference, product, or quotient of algebraic numbers

  • the negation, inverse, absolute value, norm, real part, imaginary part, or complex conjugate of an algebraic number

  • a particular root of a polynomial, given as a polynomial with algebraic coefficients together with an isolating interval (given as a RealIntervalFieldElement) which encloses exactly one root, and the multiplicity of the root

  • a polynomial in one generator, where the generator is an algebraic number given as the root of an irreducible polynomial with integral coefficients and the polynomial is given as a NumberFieldElement.

An algebraic number can be coerced into ComplexIntervalField (or RealIntervalField, for algebraic reals); every algebraic number has a cached interval of the highest precision yet calculated.

In most cases, computations that need to compare two algebraic numbers compute them with 128-bit precision intervals; if this does not suffice to prove that the numbers are different, then we fall back on exact computation.

Note that division involves an implicit comparison of the divisor against zero, and may thus trigger exact computation.

Also, using an algebraic number in the leading coefficient of a polynomial also involves an implicit comparison against zero, which again may trigger exact computation.

Note that we work fairly hard to avoid computing new number fields; to help, we keep a lattice of already-computed number fields and their inclusions.

For a monic cubic polynomial \(x^3 + bx^2 + cx + d\) with roots \(s1\), \(s2\), \(s3\), the discriminant is defined as \((s1-s2)^2(s1-s3)^2(s2-s3)^2\) and can be computed as \(b^2c^2 - 4b^3d - 4c^3 + 18bcd - 27d^2\). We can test that these definitions do give the same result:

We can convert from symbolic expressions:

The coercion, however, goes in the other direction, since not all symbolic expressions are algebraic numbers:

sage: QQbar(sqrt(2)) + sqrt(3)                                                      # needs sage.symbolic
sqrt(3) + 1.414213562373095?
sage: QQbar(sqrt(2) + QQbar(sqrt(3)))                                               # needs sage.symbolic
3.146264369941973?
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> QQbar(sqrt(Integer(2))) + sqrt(Integer(3))                                                      # needs sage.symbolic
sqrt(3) + 1.414213562373095?
>>> QQbar(sqrt(Integer(2)) + QQbar(sqrt(Integer(3))))                                               # needs sage.symbolic
3.146264369941973?
QQbar(sqrt(2)) + sqrt(3)                                                      # needs sage.symbolic
QQbar(sqrt(2) + QQbar(sqrt(3)))                                               # needs sage.symbolic

Note the different behavior in taking roots: for AA we prefer real roots if they exist, but for QQbar we take the principal root:

sage: AA(-1)^(1/3)
-1
sage: QQbar(-1)^(1/3)
0.500000000000000? + 0.866025403784439?*I
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> AA(-Integer(1))**(Integer(1)/Integer(3))
-1
>>> QQbar(-Integer(1))**(Integer(1)/Integer(3))
0.500000000000000? + 0.866025403784439?*I
AA(-1)^(1/3)
QQbar(-1)^(1/3)

However, implicit coercion from \(\QQ[I]\) is only allowed when it is equipped with a complex embedding:

sage: i.parent()
Number Field in I with defining polynomial x^2 + 1 with I = 1*I
sage: QQbar(1) + i
I + 1

sage: K.<im> = QuadraticField(-1, embedding=None)
sage: QQbar(1) + im
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: unsupported operand parent(s) for +: 'Algebraic Field' and
'Number Field in im with defining polynomial x^2 + 1'
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> i.parent()
Number Field in I with defining polynomial x^2 + 1 with I = 1*I
>>> QQbar(Integer(1)) + i
I + 1

>>> K = QuadraticField(-Integer(1), embedding=None, names=('im',)); (im,) = K._first_ngens(1)
>>> QQbar(Integer(1)) + im
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: unsupported operand parent(s) for +: 'Algebraic Field' and
'Number Field in im with defining polynomial x^2 + 1'
i.parent()
QQbar(1) + i
K.<im> = QuadraticField(-1, embedding=None)
QQbar(1) + im

However, we can explicitly coerce from the abstract number field \(\QQ[I]\). (Technically, this is not quite kosher, since we do not know whether the field generator is supposed to map to \(+I\) or \(-I\). We assume that for any quadratic field with polynomial \(x^2+1\), the generator maps to \(+I\).):

sage: pythag = QQbar(3/5 + 4*im/5); pythag
4/5*I + 3/5
sage: pythag.abs() == 1
True
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> pythag = QQbar(Integer(3)/Integer(5) + Integer(4)*im/Integer(5)); pythag
4/5*I + 3/5
>>> pythag.abs() == Integer(1)
True
pythag = QQbar(3/5 + 4*im/5); pythag
pythag.abs() == 1

We can implicitly coerce from algebraic reals to algebraic numbers:

sage: a = QQbar(1); a, a.parent()
(1, Algebraic Field)
sage: b = AA(1); b, b.parent()
(1, Algebraic Real Field)
sage: c = a + b; c, c.parent()
(2, Algebraic Field)
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> a = QQbar(Integer(1)); a, a.parent()
(1, Algebraic Field)
>>> b = AA(Integer(1)); b, b.parent()
(1, Algebraic Real Field)
>>> c = a + b; c, c.parent()
(2, Algebraic Field)
a = QQbar(1); a, a.parent()
b = AA(1); b, b.parent()
c = a + b; c, c.parent()

Some computation with radicals:

sage: phi = (1 + sqrt(AA(5))) / 2
sage: phi^2 == phi + 1
True
sage: tau = (1 - sqrt(AA(5))) / 2
sage: tau^2 == tau + 1
True
sage: phi + tau == 1
True
sage: tau < 0
True

sage: rt23 = sqrt(AA(2/3))
sage: rt35 = sqrt(AA(3/5))
sage: rt25 = sqrt(AA(2/5))
sage: rt23 * rt35 == rt25
True
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> phi = (Integer(1) + sqrt(AA(Integer(5)))) / Integer(2)
>>> phi**Integer(2) == phi + Integer(1)
True
>>> tau = (Integer(1) - sqrt(AA(Integer(5)))) / Integer(2)
>>> tau**Integer(2) == tau + Integer(1)
True
>>> phi + tau == Integer(1)
True
>>> tau < Integer(0)
True

>>> rt23 = sqrt(AA(Integer(2)/Integer(3)))
>>> rt35 = sqrt(AA(Integer(3)/Integer(5)))
>>> rt25 = sqrt(AA(Integer(2)/Integer(5)))
>>> rt23 * rt35 == rt25
True
phi = (1 + sqrt(AA(5))) / 2
phi^2 == phi + 1
tau = (1 - sqrt(AA(5))) / 2
tau^2 == tau + 1
phi + tau == 1
tau < 0
rt23 = sqrt(AA(2/3))
rt35 = sqrt(AA(3/5))
rt25 = sqrt(AA(2/5))
rt23 * rt35 == rt25

The Sage rings AA and QQbar can decide equalities between radical expressions (over the reals and complex numbers respectively):

sage: a = AA((2/(3*sqrt(3)) + 10/27)^(1/3)                                          # needs sage.symbolic

Algebraic numbers which are known to be rational print as rationals; otherwise they print as intervals (with 53-bit precision):

We can find the real and imaginary parts of an algebraic number (exactly):

We can find the absolute value and norm of an algebraic number exactly. (Note that we define the norm as the product of a number and its complex conjugate; this is the algebraic definition of norm, if we view QQbar as AA[I].):

We can compute the multiplicative order of an algebraic number:

(QQbar.zeta(23)**5).multiplicative_order()

The paper “ARPREC: An Arbitrary Precision Computation Package” by Bailey, Yozo, Li and Thompson discusses this result. Evidently it is difficult to find, but we can easily verify it.

Given an algebraic number, we can produce a string that will reproduce that algebraic number if you type the string into Sage. We can see that until exact computation is triggered, an algebraic number keeps track of the computation steps used to produce that number:

sage: rt2 = AA(sqrt(2))
sage: rt3 = AA(sqrt(3))
sage: n = (rt2 + rt3)^5; n
308.3018001722975?
sage: sage_input(n)
R.<x> = AA[]
v1 = AA.polynomial_root(AA.common_polynomial(x^2 - 2), RIF(RR(1.4142135623730949), RR(1.4142135623730951))) + AA.polynomial_root(AA.common_polynomial(x^2 - 3), RIF(RR(1.7320508075688772), RR(1.7320508075688774)))
v2 = v1*v1
v2*v2*v1
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> rt2 = AA(sqrt(Integer(2)))
>>> rt3 = AA(sqrt(Integer(3)))
>>> n = (rt2 + rt3)**Integer(5); n
308.3018001722975?
>>> sage_input(n)
R.<x> = AA[]
v1 = AA.polynomial_root(AA.common_polynomial(x^2 - 2), RIF(RR(1.4142135623730949), RR(1.4142135623730951))) + AA.polynomial_root(AA.common_polynomial(x^2 - 3), RIF(RR(1.7320508075688772), RR(1.7320508075688774)))
v2 = v1*v1
v2*v2*v1
rt2 = AA(sqrt(2))
rt3 = AA(sqrt(3))
n = (rt2 + rt3)^5; n
sage_input(n)

But once exact computation is triggered, the computation tree is discarded, and we get a way to produce the number directly:

sage: n == 109*rt2 + 89*rt3
True
sage: sage_input(n)
R.<y> = QQ[]
v = AA.polynomial_root(AA.common_polynomial(y^4 - 4*y^2 + 1), RIF(-RR(1.9318516525781366), -RR(1.9318516525781364)))
-109*v^3 + 89*v^2 + 327*v - 178
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> n == Integer(109)*rt2 + Integer(89)*rt3
True
>>> sage_input(n)
R.<y> = QQ[]
v = AA.polynomial_root(AA.common_polynomial(y^4 - 4*y^2 + 1), RIF(-RR(1.9318516525781366), -RR(1.9318516525781364)))
-109*v^3 + 89*v^2 + 327*v - 178
n == 109*rt2 + 89*rt3
sage_input(n)

We can also see that some computations (basically, those which are easy to perform exactly) are performed directly, instead of storing the computation tree:

sage: z3_3 = QQbar.zeta(3) * 3
sage: z4_4 = QQbar.zeta(4) * 4
sage: z5_5 = QQbar.zeta(5) * 5
sage: sage_input(z3_3 * z4_4 * z5_5)
R.<y> = QQ[]
3*QQbar.polynomial_root(AA.common_polynomial(y^2 + y + 1), CIF(RIF(-RR(0.50000000000000011), -RR(0.49999999999999994)), RIF(RR(0.8660254037844386), RR(0.86602540378443871))))*QQbar(4*I)*(5*QQbar.polynomial_root(AA.common_polynomial(y^4 + y^3 + y^2 + y + 1), CIF(RIF(RR(0.3090169943749474), RR(0.30901699437494745)), RIF(RR(0.95105651629515353), RR(0.95105651629515364)))))

Note that the verify=True argument to sage_input will always trigger exact computation, so running sage_input twice in a row on the same number will actually give different answers. In the following, running sage_input on n will also trigger exact computation on rt2, as you can see by the fact that the third output is different than the first:

sage: # needs sage.symbolic
sage: rt2 = AA(sqrt(2))
sage: n = rt2^2

sage_input(n, verify=True)

Just for fun, let’s try sage_input on a very complicated expression. The output of this example changed with the rewriting of polynomial multiplication algorithms in Issue #10255:

We can convert elements of QQbar and AA into the following types: float, complex, RDF, CDF, RR, CC, RIF, CIF, ZZ, and QQ, with a few exceptions. (For the arbitrary-precision types, RR, CC, RIF, and CIF, it can convert into a field of arbitrary precision.)

Converting from QQbar to a real type (float, RDF, RR, RIF, ZZ, or QQ) succeeds only if the QQbar is actually real (has an imaginary component of exactly zero). Converting from either AA or QQbar to ZZ or QQ succeeds only if the number actually is an integer or rational. If conversion fails, a ValueError will be raised.

Here are examples of all of these conversions:

class sage.rings.qqbar.ANDescr[source]

Bases: SageObject

An AlgebraicNumber or AlgebraicReal is a wrapper around an ANDescr object. ANDescr is an abstract base class, which should never be directly instantiated; its concrete subclasses are ANRational, ANBinaryExpr, ANUnaryExpr, ANRoot, and ANExtensionElement. ANDescr and all of its subclasses are for internal use, and should not be used directly.

abs(n)[source]

Absolute value of self.

refine_interval(interval, prec)[source]

Take an interval which is assumed to enclose exactly one root of the polynomial (or, with multiplicity=`k`, exactly one root of the \(k-1\)-st derivative); and a precision, in bits.

Tries to find a narrow interval enclosing the root using interval arithmetic of the given precision. (No particular number of resulting bits of precision is guaranteed.)

Uses a combination of Newton’s method (adapted for interval arithmetic) and bisection. The algorithm will converge very quickly if started with a sufficiently narrow interval.

sage: from sage.rings.qqbar import ANRoot
sage: x = polygen(AA)
sage: rt2 = ANRoot(x^2 - 2, RIF(0, 2))

polynomial_root(poly, interval, multiplicity=1)[source]

Given a polynomial with algebraic coefficients and an interval enclosing exactly one root of the polynomial, constructs an algebraic real representation of that root.

The polynomial need not be irreducible, or even squarefree; but if the given root is a multiple root, its multiplicity must be specified. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Currently, multiplicity-\(k\) roots are handled by taking the \((k-1)\)-st derivative of the polynomial. This means that the interval must enclose exactly one root of this derivative.)

The conditions on the arguments (that the interval encloses exactly one root, and that multiple roots match the given multiplicity) are not checked; if they are not satisfied, an error may be thrown (possibly later, when the algebraic number is used), or wrong answers may result.

Note that if you are constructing multiple roots of a single polynomial, it is better to use QQbar.common_polynomial to get a shared polynomial.

EXAMPLES:

sage: x = polygen(QQbar)
sage: phi = QQbar.polynomial_root(x^2 - x - 1, RIF(0, 2)); phi

random_element(poly_degree=2, *args, **kwds)[source]

Return a random algebraic number.

INPUT:

  • poly_degree – (default: 2) degree of the random polynomial over the integers of which the returned algebraic number is a root. This is not necessarily the degree of the minimal polynomial of the number. Increase this parameter to achieve a greater diversity of algebraic numbers, at a cost of greater computation time. You can also vary the distribution of the coefficients but that will not vary the degree of the extension containing the element.

  • args, kwds – arguments and keywords passed to the random number generator for elements of ZZ, the integers. See random_element() for details, or see example below.

OUTPUT:

An element of QQbar, the field of algebraic numbers (see sage.rings.qqbar).

ALGORITHM:

A polynomial with degree between 1 and poly_degree, with random integer coefficients is created. A root of this polynomial is chosen at random. The default degree is 2 and the integer coefficients come from a distribution heavily weighted towards \(0, \pm 1, \pm 2\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: a = QQbar.random_element()
sage: a                         # random
0.2626138748742799? + 0.8769062830975992?*I
sage: a in QQbar
True

sage: b = QQbar.random_element(poly_degree=20)
sage: b                         # random
-0.8642649077479498? - 0.5995098147478391?*I
sage: b in QQbar
True
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> a = QQbar.random_element()
>>> a                         # random
0.2626138748742799? + 0.8769062830975992?*I
>>> a in QQbar
True

>>> b = QQbar.random_element(poly_degree=Integer(20))
>>> b                         # random
-0.8642649077479498? - 0.5995098147478391?*I
>>> b in QQbar
True
a = QQbar.random_element()
a                         # random
a in QQbar
b = QQbar.random_element(poly_degree=20)
b                         # random
b in QQbar

Parameters for the distribution of the integer coefficients of the polynomials can be passed on to the random element method for integers. For example, current default behavior of this method returns zero about 15% of the time; if we do not include zero as a possible coefficient, there will never be a zero constant term, and thus never a zero root.

sage: z = [QQbar.random_element(x=1, y=10) for _ in range(20)]
sage: QQbar(0) in z
False
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> z = [QQbar.random_element(x=Integer(1), y=Integer(10)) for _ in range(Integer(20))]
>>> QQbar(Integer(0)) in z
False
z = [QQbar.random_element(x=1, y=10) for _ in range(20)]
QQbar(0) in z

If you just want real algebraic numbers you can filter them out. Using an odd degree for the polynomials will ensure some degree of success.

common_polynomial(poly)[source]

class sage.rings.qqbar.AlgebraicGeneratorRelation(child1, child1_poly, child2, child2_poly, parent)[source]

Bases: SageObject

A simple class for maintaining relations in the lattice of algebraic extensions.

class sage.rings.qqbar.AlgebraicNumber(x)[source]

Bases: AlgebraicNumber_base

The class for algebraic numbers (complex numbers which are the roots of a polynomial with integer coefficients). Much of its functionality is inherited from AlgebraicNumber_base.

_richcmp_(other, op)[source]

Compare two algebraic numbers, lexicographically. (That is, first compare the real components; if the real components are equal, compare the imaginary components.)

EXAMPLES:

sage: x = QQbar.zeta(3); x
-0.500000000000000? + 0.866025403784439?*I
sage: QQbar(-1) < x
True
sage: QQbar(-1/2) < x
True
sage: QQbar(0) > x
True
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> x = QQbar.zeta(Integer(3)); x
-0.500000000000000? + 0.866025403784439?*I
>>> QQbar(-Integer(1)) < x
True
>>> QQbar(-Integer(1)/Integer(2)) < x
True
>>> QQbar(Integer(0)) > x
True
x = QQbar.zeta(3); x
QQbar(-1) < x
QQbar(-1/2) < x
QQbar(0) > x

One problem with this lexicographic ordering is the fact that if two algebraic numbers have the same real component, that real component has to be compared for exact equality, which can be a costly operation. For the special case where both numbers have the same minimal polynomial, that cost can be avoided, though (see Issue #16964):

sage: x = polygen(ZZ)

sorted(p.roots(QQbar,False))

It also works for comparison of conjugate roots even in a degenerate situation where many roots have the same real part. In the following example, the polynomial p2 is irreducible and all its roots have real part equal to \(1\):

sage: p1 = x^8 + 74*x^7 + 2300*x^6 + 38928*x^5 + \
....: 388193*x^4 + 2295312*x^3 + 7613898*x^2 + \
....: 12066806*x + 5477001
sage: p2 = p1((x-1)^2)
sage: sum(1 for r in p2.roots(CC,False) if abs(r.real() - 1) < 0.0001)
16
sage: r1 = QQbar.polynomial_root(p2, CIF(1, (-4.1,-4.0)))
sage: r2 = QQbar.polynomial_root(p2, CIF(1, (4.0, 4.1)))
sage: all([r1<r2, r1==r1, r2==r2, r2>r1])
True
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> p1 = x**Integer(8) + Integer(74)*x**Integer(7) + Integer(2300)*x**Integer(6) + Integer(38928)*x**Integer(5) + Integer(388193)*x**Integer(4) + Integer(2295312)*x**Integer(3) + Integer(7613898)*x**Integer(2) + Integer(12066806)*x + Integer(5477001)

>>> sum(Integer(1) for r in p2.roots(CC,False) if abs(r.real() - Integer(1)) < RealNumber('0.0001'))
16
>>> r1 = QQbar.polynomial_root(p2, CIF(Integer(1), (-RealNumber('4.1'),-RealNumber('4.0'))))
>>> r2 = QQbar.polynomial_root(p2, CIF(Integer(1), (RealNumber('4.0'), RealNumber('4.1'))))
>>> all([r1<r2, r1==r1, r2==r2, r2>r1])
True
p1 = x^8 + 74*x^7 + 2300*x^6 + 38928*x^5 + \
388193*x^4 + 2295312*x^3 + 7613898*x^2 + \
12066806*x + 5477001
p2 = p1((x-1)^2)

r1 = QQbar.polynomial_root(p2, CIF(1, (-4.1,-4.0)))
r2 = QQbar.polynomial_root(p2, CIF(1, (4.0, 4.1)))
all([r1<r2, r1==r1, r2==r2, r2>r1])

Though, comparing roots which are not equal or conjugate is much slower because the algorithm needs to check the equality of the real parts:

complex_exact(field)[source]

Given a ComplexField, return the best possible approximation of this number in that field. Note that if either component is sufficiently close to the halfway point between two floating-point numbers in the corresponding RealField, then this will trigger exact computation, which may be very slow.

EXAMPLES:

sage: a = QQbar.zeta(9) + QQbar(I) + QQbar.zeta(9).conjugate(); a
1.532088886237957? + 1.000000000000000?*I

>>> a.complex_exact(CIF)

a = QQbar.zeta(9) + QQbar(I) + QQbar.zeta(9).conjugate(); a
a.complex_exact(CIF)
complex_number(field)[source]

Given the complex field field, compute an accurate approximation of this element in that field.

The approximation will be off by at most two ulp’s in each component, except for components which are very close to zero, which will have an absolute error at most \(2^{-prec+1}\) where prec is the precision of the field.

EXAMPLES:

sage: a = QQbar.zeta(5)
sage: a.complex_number(CC)
0.309016994374947 + 0.951056516295154*I

Given a ComplexIntervalField, compute the best possible approximation of this number in that field. Note that if either the real or imaginary parts of this number are sufficiently close to some floating-point number (and, in particular, if either is exactly representable in floating-point), then this will trigger exact computation, which may be very slow.

multiplicative_order()[source]

Compute the multiplicative order of this algebraic number.

That is, find the smallest positive integer \(n\) such that \(x^n = 1\). If there is no such \(n\), returns +Infinity.

We first check that abs(x) is very close to 1. If so, we compute \(x\) exactly and examine its argument.

Return self * self.conjugate().

This is the algebraic definition of norm, if we view QQbar as AA[I].

rational_argument()[source]

Return the argument of self, divided by \(2\pi\), as long as this result is rational. Otherwise returns None. Always triggers exact computation.

class sage.rings.qqbar.AlgebraicNumberPowQQAction(G, S)[source]

Bases: Action

Implement powering of an algebraic number (an element of QQbar or AA) by a rational.

This is always a right action.

INPUT:

  • G – must be QQ

  • S – the parent on which to act, either AA or QQbar

Note

To compute x ^ (a/b), we take the \(b\)-th root of \(x\); then we take that to the \(a\)-th power. If \(x\) is a negative algebraic real and \(b\) is odd, take the real \(b\)-th root; otherwise take the principal \(b\)-th root.

class sage.rings.qqbar.AlgebraicNumber_base(parent, x)[source]

Bases: FieldElement

This is the common base class for algebraic numbers (complex numbers which are the zero of a polynomial in \(\ZZ[x]\)) and algebraic reals (algebraic numbers which happen to be real).

AlgebraicNumber objects can be created using QQbar (== AlgebraicNumberField()), and AlgebraicReal objects can be created using AA (== AlgebraicRealField()). They can be created either by coercing a rational or a symbolic expression, or by using the QQbar.polynomial_root() or AA.polynomial_root() method to construct a particular root of a polynomial with algebraic coefficients. Also, AlgebraicNumber and AlgebraicReal are closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, division (except by 0), and rational powers (including roots), except that for a negative AlgebraicReal, taking a power with an even denominator returns an AlgebraicNumber instead of an AlgebraicReal.

AlgebraicNumber and AlgebraicReal objects can be approximated to any desired precision. They can be compared exactly; if the two numbers are very close, or are equal, this may require exact computation, which can be extremely slow.

As long as exact computation is not triggered, computation with algebraic numbers should not be too much slower than computation with intervals. As mentioned above, exact computation is triggered when comparing two algebraic numbers which are very close together. This can be an explicit comparison in user code, but the following list of actions (not necessarily complete) can also trigger exact computation:

  • Dividing by an algebraic number which is very close to 0.

  • Using an algebraic number which is very close to 0 as the leading coefficient in a polynomial.

  • Taking a root of an algebraic number which is very close to 0.

The exact definition of “very close” is subject to change; currently, we compute our best approximation of the two numbers using 128-bit arithmetic, and see if that’s sufficient to decide the comparison. Note that comparing two algebraic numbers which are actually equal will always trigger exact computation, unless they are actually the same object.

as_number_field_element(minimal=False, embedded=False, prec=53)[source]

Return a number field containing this value, a representation of this value as an element of that number field, and a homomorphism from the number field back to AA or QQbar.

INPUT:

  • minimal – boolean (default: False); whether to minimize the degree of the extension

  • embedded – boolean (default: False); whether to make the NumberField embedded

  • prec – integer (default: 53); the number of bit of precision to guarantee finding real roots

This may not return the smallest such number field, unless minimal=True is specified.

To compute a single number field containing multiple algebraic numbers, use the function number_field_elements_from_algebraics instead.

interval(field)[source]

Given an interval (or ball) field (real or complex, as appropriate) of precision \(p\), compute an interval representation of self with diameter() at most \(2^{-p}\); then round that representation into the given field. Here diameter() is relative diameter for intervals not containing 0, and absolute diameter for intervals that do contain 0; thus, if the returned interval does not contain 0, it has at least \(p-1\) good bits.

class sage.rings.qqbar.AlgebraicPolynomialTracker(poly)[source]

Bases: SageObject

Keeps track of a polynomial used for algebraic numbers.

If multiple algebraic numbers are created as roots of a single polynomial, this allows the polynomial and information about the polynomial to be shared. This reduces work if the polynomial must be recomputed at higher precision, or if it must be factored.

This class is private, and should only be constructed by AA.common_polynomial() or QQbar.common_polynomial(), and should only be used as an argument to AA.polynomial_root() or QQbar.polynomial_root(). (It does not matter whether you create the common polynomial with AA.common_polynomial() or QQbar.common_polynomial().)

EXAMPLES:

sage: x = polygen(QQbar)
sage: P = QQbar.common_polynomial(x^2 - x - 1)
sage: P
x^2 - x - 1
sage: QQbar.polynomial_root(P, RIF(1, 2))
1.618033988749895?
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> x = polygen(QQbar)
>>> P = QQbar.common_polynomial(x**Integer(2) - x - Integer(1))
>>> P
x^2 - x - 1
>>> QQbar.polynomial_root(P, RIF(Integer(1), Integer(2)))
1.618033988749895?
x = polygen(QQbar)
P = QQbar.common_polynomial(x^2 - x - 1)
P
QQbar.polynomial_root(P, RIF(1, 2))
complex_roots(prec, multiplicity)[source]

Find the roots of self in the complex field to precision prec.

EXAMPLES:

sage: x = polygen(ZZ)
sage: cp = AA.common_polynomial(x^4 - 2)
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> x = polygen(ZZ)
>>> cp = AA.common_polynomial(x**Integer(4) - Integer(2))
x = polygen(ZZ)
cp = AA.common_polynomial(x^4 - 2)

Note that the precision is not guaranteed to find the tightest possible interval since complex_roots() depends on the underlying BLAS implementation.

Given a RealIntervalField, compute the best possible approximation of this number in that field. Note that if this number is sufficiently close to some floating-point number (and, in particular, if this number is exactly representable in floating-point), then this will trigger exact computation, which may be very slow.

Compute the multiplicative order of this real algebraic number.

That is, find the smallest positive integer \(n\) such that \(x^n = 1\). If there is no such \(n\), returns +Infinity.

We first check that abs(x) is very close to 1. If so, we compute \(x\) exactly and compare it to \(1\) and \(-1\).

real_exact(field)[source]

Given a RealField, compute the best possible approximation of this number in that field. Note that if this number is sufficiently close to the halfway point between two floating-point numbers in the field (for the default round-to-nearest mode) or if the number is sufficiently close to a floating-point number in the field (for directed rounding modes), then this will trigger exact computation, which may be very slow.

The rounding mode of the field is respected.

sign()[source]

Compute the sign of this algebraic number (return \(-1\) if negative, \(0\) if zero, or \(1\) if positive).

polynomial_root(poly, interval, multiplicity=1)[source]

Given a polynomial with algebraic coefficients and an interval enclosing exactly one root of the polynomial, constructs an algebraic real representation of that root.

The polynomial need not be irreducible, or even squarefree; but if the given root is a multiple root, its multiplicity must be specified. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Currently, multiplicity-\(k\) roots are handled by taking the \((k-1)\)-st derivative of the polynomial. This means that the interval must enclose exactly one root of this derivative.)

The conditions on the arguments (that the interval encloses exactly one root, and that multiple roots match the given multiplicity) are not checked; if they are not satisfied, an error may be thrown (possibly later, when the algebraic number is used), or wrong answers may result.

Note that if you are constructing multiple roots of a single polynomial, it is better to use AA.common_polynomial (or QQbar.common_polynomial; the two are equivalent) to get a shared polynomial.

EXAMPLES:

sage: x = polygen(AA)
sage: phi = AA.polynomial_root(x^2 - x - 1, RIF(1, 2)); phi
1.618033988749895?

>>> p = (x-Integer(1))**Integer(7) * (x-Integer(2))
>>> r = AA.polynomial_root(p, RIF(Integer(9)/Integer(10), Integer(11)/Integer(10)), multiplicity=Integer(7))
>>> r; r == Integer(1)
1.000000000000000?
True
>>> p = (x-phi)*(x-sqrt(AA(Integer(2))))
>>> r = AA.polynomial_root(p, RIF(Integer(1), Integer(3)/Integer(2)))
>>> r; r == sqrt(AA(Integer(2)))
1.414213562373095?
True
x = polygen(AA)
phi = AA.polynomial_root(x^2 - x - 1, RIF(1, 2)); phi
p = (x-1)^7 * (x-2)
r = AA.polynomial_root(p, RIF(9/10, 11/10), multiplicity=7)
r; r == 1
p = (x-phi)*(x-sqrt(AA(2)))
r = AA.polynomial_root(p, RIF(1, 3/2))
r; r == sqrt(AA(2))

We allow complex polynomials, as long as the particular root in question is real.

random_element(poly_degree=2, *args, **kwds)[source]

Return a random algebraic real number.

INPUT:

  • poly_degree – (default: 2) degree of the random polynomial over the integers of which the returned algebraic real number is a (real part of a) root. This is not necessarily the degree of the minimal polynomial of the number. Increase this parameter to achieve a greater diversity of algebraic numbers, at a cost of greater computation time. You can also vary the distribution of the coefficients but that will not vary the degree of the extension containing the element.

  • args, kwds – arguments and keywords passed to the random number generator for elements of ZZ, the integers. See random_element() for details, or see example below.

OUTPUT:

An element of AA, the field of algebraic real numbers (see sage.rings.qqbar).

ALGORITHM:

We pass all arguments to AlgebraicField.random_element(), and then take the real part of the result.

EXAMPLES:

sage: a = AA.random_element()
sage: a in AA
True
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> a = AA.random_element()
>>> a in AA
True
a = AA.random_element()
a in AA
sage: b = AA.random_element(poly_degree=5)
sage: b in AA
True
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> b = AA.random_element(poly_degree=Integer(5))
>>> b in AA
True
b = AA.random_element(poly_degree=5)
b in AA
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> b = AA.random_element(poly_degree=Integer(5))
>>> b in AA
True
b = AA.random_element(poly_degree=5)
b in AA

Parameters for the distribution of the integer coefficients of the polynomials can be passed on to the random element method for integers. For example, we can rule out zero as a coefficient (and therefore as a root) by requesting coefficients between 1 and 10:

sage: z = [AA.random_element(x=1, y=10) for _ in range(5)]
sage: AA(0) in z
False
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> z = [AA.random_element(x=Integer(1), y=Integer(10)) for _ in range(Integer(5))]
>>> AA(Integer(0)) in z
False
z = [AA.random_element(x=1, y=10) for _ in range(5)]
AA(0) in z
zeta(n=2)[source]

Return an \(n\)-th root of unity in this field. This will raise a ValueError if \(n \ne \{1, 2\}\) since no such root exists.

sage.rings.qqbar.clear_denominators(poly)[source]

Take a monic polynomial and rescale the variable to get a monic polynomial with “integral” coefficients.

This works on any univariate polynomial whose base ring has a denominator() method that returns integers; for example, the base ring might be \(\QQ\) or a number field.

Returns the scale factor and the new polynomial.

(Inspired by pari:primitive_pol_to_monic .)

We assume that coefficient denominators are “small”; the algorithm factors the denominators, to give the smallest possible scale factor.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.qqbar import clear_denominators

sage: _.<x> = QQ['x']
sage: clear_denominators(x + 3/2)
(2, x + 3)
sage: clear_denominators(x^2 + x/2 + 1/4)

>>> clear_denominators(x**Integer(2) + x/Integer(2) + Integer(1)/Integer(4))
(2, x^2 + x + 1)

sage.rings.qqbar.cmp_elements_with_same_minpoly(a, b, p)[source]

Compare the algebraic elements a and b knowing that they have the same minimal polynomial p.

This is a helper function for comparison of algebraic elements (i.e. the methods AlgebraicNumber._richcmp_() and AlgebraicReal._richcmp_()).

INPUT:

  • a, b – elements of the algebraic or the real algebraic field with same minimal polynomial

  • p – the minimal polynomial

OUTPUT:

\(-1\), \(0\), \(1\), None depending on whether \(a < b\), \(a = b\) or \(a > b\) or the function did not succeed with the given precision of \(a\) and \(b\).

EXAMPLES:

sage.rings.qqbar.conjugate_expand(v)[source]

If the interval v (which may be real or complex) includes some purely real numbers, return v' containing v such that v' == v'.conjugate(). Otherwise return v unchanged. (Note that if v' == v'.conjugate(), and v' includes one non-real root of a real polynomial, then v' also includes the conjugate of that root. Also note that the diameter of the return value is at most twice the diameter of the input.)

sage.rings.qqbar.conjugate_shrink(v)[source]

If the interval v includes some purely real numbers, return a real interval containing only those real numbers. Otherwise return v unchanged.

If v includes exactly one root of a real polynomial, and v was returned by conjugate_expand(), then conjugate_shrink(v) still includes that root, and is a RealIntervalFieldElement iff the root in question is real.

sage.rings.qqbar.do_polred(poly, threshold=32)[source]

Find a polynomial of reasonably small discriminant that generates the same number field as poly, using the PARI polredbest function.

INPUT:

  • poly – a monic irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients

  • threshold – integer used to decide whether to run polredbest

OUTPUT:

A triple (elt_fwd, elt_back, new_poly), where:

  • new_poly is the new polynomial defining the same number field,

  • elt_fwd is a polynomial expression for a root of the new polynomial in terms of a root of the original polynomial,

  • elt_back is a polynomial expression for a root of the original polynomial in terms of a root of the new polynomial.

sage.rings.qqbar.isolating_interval(intv_fn, pol)[source]

intv_fn is a function that takes a precision and returns an interval of that precision containing some particular root of pol. (It must return better approximations as the precision increases.) pol is an irreducible polynomial with rational coefficients.

Returns an interval containing at most one root of pol.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.qqbar import isolating_interval

sage: _.<x> = QQ['x']
sage: isolating_interval(lambda prec: sqrt(RealIntervalField(prec)(2)), x^2 - 2)
1.4142135623730950488?
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.rings.qqbar import isolating_interval

>>> _ = QQ['x']; (x,) = _._first_ngens(1)
>>> isolating_interval(lambda prec: sqrt(RealIntervalField(prec)(Integer(2))), x**Integer(2) - Integer(2))
1.4142135623730950488?
from sage.rings.qqbar import isolating_interval
_.<x> = QQ['x']
isolating_interval(lambda prec: sqrt(RealIntervalField(prec)(2)), x^2 - 2)

And an example that requires more precision:

sage: delta = 10^(-70)
sage: p = (x - 1) * (x - 1 - delta) * (x - 1 + delta)
sage: isolating_interval(lambda prec: RealIntervalField(prec)(1 + delta), p)
1.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000?
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> delta = Integer(10)**(-Integer(70))
>>> p = (x - Integer(1)) * (x - Integer(1) - delta) * (x - Integer(1) + delta)
>>> isolating_interval(lambda prec: RealIntervalField(prec)(Integer(1) + delta), p)
1.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000?
delta = 10^(-70)
p = (x - 1) * (x - 1 - delta) * (x - 1 + delta)
isolating_interval(lambda prec: RealIntervalField(prec)(1 + delta), p)

The function also works with complex intervals and complex roots:

sage: p = x^2 - x + 13/36
sage: isolating_interval(lambda prec: ComplexIntervalField(prec)(1/2, 1/3), p)
0.500000000000000000000? + 0.3333333333333333334?*I
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> p = x**Integer(2) - x + Integer(13)/Integer(36)
>>> isolating_interval(lambda prec: ComplexIntervalField(prec)(Integer(1)/Integer(2), Integer(1)/Integer(3)), p)
0.500000000000000000000? + 0.3333333333333333334?*I
p = x^2 - x + 13/36
isolating_interval(lambda prec: ComplexIntervalField(prec)(1/2, 1/3), p)
sage.rings.qqbar.number_field_elements_from_algebraics(numbers, minimal=False, same_field=False, embedded=False, name='a', prec=53)[source]

Given a sequence of elements of either AA or QQbar (or a mixture), computes a number field containing all of these elements, these elements as members of that number field, and a homomorphism from the number field back to AA or QQbar.

INPUT:

  • numbers – a number or list of numbers

  • minimal – boolean (default: False); whether to minimize the degree of the extension

  • same_field – boolean (default: False); see below

  • embedded – boolean (default: False); whether to make the NumberField embedded, note that this has no effect when the resulting field is QQ because there is only one QQ instance

  • name – string (default: 'a'); name of the primitive element

  • prec – integer (default: 53); the number of bit of precision to guarantee finding real roots

OUTPUT:

A tuple with the NumberField, the numbers inside the NumberField, and a homomorphism from the number field back to AA or QQbar.

This may not return the smallest such number field, unless minimal=True is specified.

If same_field=True is specified, and all of the elements are from the same field (either AA or QQbar), the generated homomorphism will map back to that field. Otherwise, if all specified elements are real, the homomorphism might map back to AA (and will, if minimal=True is specified), even if the elements were in QQbar.

Also, a single number can be passed, rather than a sequence; and any values which are not elements of AA or QQbar will automatically be coerced to QQbar

This function may be useful for efficiency reasons: doing exact computations in the corresponding number field will be faster than doing exact computations directly in AA or QQbar.

EXAMPLES:

We can use this to compute the splitting field of a polynomial. (Unfortunately this takes an unreasonably long time for non-toy examples.):

rt3a is a real number in QQbar. Ordinarily, we’d get a homomorphism to AA (because all elements are real), but if we specify same_field=True, we’ll get a homomorphism back to QQbar:

We’ve created rt2b in such a way that sage does not initially know that it’s in a degree-2 extension of \(\QQ\):

We can specify minimal=True if we want the smallest number field:

sage: number_field_elements_from_algebraics(rt2b, minimal=True)                 # needs sage.symbolic
(Number Field in a with defining polynomial y^2 - 2, a, Ring morphism:

Things work fine with rational numbers, too:

sage: number_field_elements_from_algebraics((QQbar(1/2), AA(17)))
(Rational Field, [1/2, 17],
 Ring morphism:
    From: Rational Field

    To:   Algebraic Real Field
    Defn: 1 |--> 1)
number_field_elements_from_algebraics((QQbar(1/2), AA(17)))

Or we can just pass in symbolic expressions, as long as they can be coerced into QQbar:

sage.rings.qqbar.prec_seq()[source]

Return a generator object which iterates over an infinite increasing sequence of precisions to be tried in various numerical computations.

Currently just returns powers of 2 starting at 64.

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = sage.rings.qqbar.prec_seq()
sage: [next(g), next(g), next(g)]
[64, 128, 256]
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> g = sage.rings.qqbar.prec_seq()
>>> [next(g), next(g), next(g)]
[64, 128, 256]
g = sage.rings.qqbar.prec_seq()
[next(g), next(g), next(g)]
sage.rings.qqbar.rational_exact_root(r, d)[source]

Check whether the rational \(r\) is an exact \(d\)-th power.

If so, this returns the \(d\)-th root of \(r\); otherwise, this returns None.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.qqbar import rational_exact_root
sage: rational_exact_root(16/81, 4)
2/3
sage: rational_exact_root(8/81, 3) is None
True
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.rings.qqbar import rational_exact_root
>>> rational_exact_root(Integer(16)/Integer(81), Integer(4))
2/3
>>> rational_exact_root(Integer(8)/Integer(81), Integer(3)) is None
True
from sage.rings.qqbar import rational_exact_root
rational_exact_root(16/81, 4)
rational_exact_root(8/81, 3) is None
sage.rings.qqbar.short_prec_seq()[source]

Return a sequence of precisions to try in cases when an infinite-precision computation is possible: returns a couple of small powers of 2 and then None.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.qqbar import short_prec_seq
sage: short_prec_seq()
(64, 128, None)
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.rings.qqbar import short_prec_seq
>>> short_prec_seq()
(64, 128, None)
from sage.rings.qqbar import short_prec_seq
short_prec_seq()
sage.rings.qqbar.t1[source]

alias of ANBinaryExpr

sage.rings.qqbar.t2[source]

alias of ANRoot

sage.rings.qqbar.tail_prec_seq()[source]

A generator over precisions larger than those in short_prec_seq().

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.qqbar import tail_prec_seq
sage: g = tail_prec_seq()
sage: [next(g), next(g), next(g)]
[256, 512, 1024]
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.rings.qqbar import tail_prec_seq
>>> g = tail_prec_seq()
>>> [next(g), next(g), next(g)]
[256, 512, 1024]
from sage.rings.qqbar import tail_prec_seq
g = tail_prec_seq()
[next(g), next(g), next(g)]
