CASA Function: PolynomialRoots

Calculate the roots of a polynomial.

Calling Sequence:

• R := PolynomialRoots(p,F)

Parameters:

p : polynom

• The polynomial over the finite field F.

F : casa/finite/field

• The finite field of the coefficients of p.

Result:

R : list

• The roots of the polynomial p over F.

Description:

• Calculates roots of a polynomial in Root-of form.
• The polynomial is stored in RootOfs.

Examples:

> F8:= finiteField(8);

> P := InPolynomial(alpha^2*x+alpha,F8);

> r := map(F8["mapOut"],PolynomialRoots(P,F8));
