Algebraeon

Algebraeon is a computer algebra system written purely in Rust. It implements algorithms for working with matrices, polynomials, algebraic numbers, factorizations, etc. The focus is on exact algebraic computations over approximate numerical solutions. Algebraeon is in early stages of development and the API is currently highly unstable and subject to change. Algebraeon uses Malachite for arbitrary sized integer and rational numbers.

Usage

Add

[dependencies]
algebraeon = "0.1.3"

to your cargo.toml to make Algebraeon avalible.

Factoring Polynomials

Factor the polynomials $x^2 - 5x + 6$ and $x^{15} - 1$.

use algebraeon::rings::{
    polynomial::polynomial::*,
    structure::{elements::*, structure::*},
};
use algebraeon::nzq::integer::*;

let x = &Polynomial::<Integer>::var().into_ergonomic();
let f = (x.pow(2) - 5*x + 6).into_verbose();
println!("f(λ) = {}", f.factor().unwrap());
/*
Output:
    f(λ) = 1 * ((-2)+λ) * ((-3)+λ)
*/

let f = (x.pow(15) - 1).into_verbose();
println!("f(λ) = {}", f.factor().unwrap());
/*
Output:
    f(λ) = 1 * ((-1)+λ) * (1+λ+λ^2) * (1+λ+λ^2+λ^3+λ^4) * (1+(-1)λ+λ^3+(-1)λ^4+λ^5+(-1)λ^7+λ^8)
*/

so

x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x-2)(x-3)
x^{15}-1 = (x-1)(x^2+x+1)(x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)(x^8-x^7+x^5-x^4+x^3-x+1)

Linear Systems of Equations

Find the general solution to the linear system

a \begin{pmatrix}3 \\ 4 \\ 1\end{pmatrix} + b \begin{pmatrix}2 \\ 1 \\ 2\end{pmatrix} + c \begin{pmatrix}1 \\ 3 \\ -1\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}5 \\ 5 \\ 3\end{pmatrix}

for integers $a$, $b$ and $c$.

use algebraeon::rings::linear::matrix::Matrix;
use algebraeon::nzq::integer::*;
let x = Matrix::<Integer>::from_rows(vec![vec![3, 4, 1], vec![2, 1, 2], vec![1, 3, -1]]);
let y = Matrix::<Integer>::from_rows(vec![vec![5, 5, 3]]);
let s = x.row_solution_lattice(y);
s.pprint();
/*
Output:
    Start Affine Lattice
    Offset
    ( 2    0    -1 )
    Start Linear Lattice
    ( 1    -1    -1 )
    End Linear Lattice
    End Affine Lattice
*/

so the general solution is all $a$, $b$, $c$ such that

\begin{pmatrix}a \\ b \\ c\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}2 \\ 0 \\ -1\end{pmatrix} + t\begin{pmatrix}1 \\ -1 \\ -1\end{pmatrix}

for some integer $t$.

Complex Root Isolation

Find all complex roots of the polynomial $$f(x) = x^5 + x^2 - x + 1$$

use algebraeon::rings::{polynomial::polynomial::*, structure::elements::*};
use algebraeon::nzq::integer::*;

let x = &Polynomial::<Integer>::var().into_ergonomic();
let f = (x.pow(5) + x.pow(2) - x + 1).into_verbose();
// Find the complex roots of f(x)
for root in f.all_complex_roots() {
    println!("root {} of degree {}", root, root.degree());
}
/*
Output:
    root ≈-1.328 of degree 3
    root ≈0.662-0.559i of degree 3
    root ≈0.662+0.559i of degree 3
    root -i of degree 2
    root i of degree 2
*/

Despite the output, the roots found are not numerical approximations. Rather, they are stored internally as exact algebraic numbers by using isolating boxes in the complex plane.

Factoring Multivariable Polynomials

Factor the following multivariable polynomial with integer coefficients

f(x, y) = 6x^4 - 6x^3y^2 + 6xy - 6x - 6y^3 + 6y^2
use algebraeon::{nzq::integer::*, rings::{polynomial::multipoly::*, structure::{elements::*, structure::*}}};

let x = &MultiPolynomial::<Integer>::var(Variable::new("x")).into_ergonomic();
let y = &MultiPolynomial::<Integer>::var(Variable::new("y")).into_ergonomic();

let f = (6 * (x.pow(4) - x.pow(3) * y.pow(2) + x * y - x - y.pow(3) + y.pow(2))).into_verbose();
println!("f(x, y) = {}", f.factor().unwrap());

/*
Output:
    f(x, y) = 1 * ((3)1) * ((2)1) * (x+(-1)y^2) * (x^3+y+(-1)1)
*/

so the factorization of $f(x, y)$ is

f(x, y) = 2 \times 3 \times (x^3 + y - 1) \times (y^2 - x)

P-adic Root Finding

Find the $2$-adic square roots of $17$.

use algebraeon::nzq::natural::*;
use algebraeon::nzq::integer::*;
use algebraeon::rings::{polynomial::polynomial::*, structure::elements::*};
let x = Polynomial::<Integer>::var().into_ergonomic();
let f = (x.pow(2) - 17).into_verbose();
for mut root in f.all_padic_roots(&Natural::from(2u32)) {
    println!("{}", root.truncate(&20.into()).string_repr()); // Show 20 2-adic digits
}
/*
Output:
    ...00110010011011101001
    ...11001101100100010111
*/

Truncating to the last 16 bits it can be verified that, modulo $2^{16}$, the square of these values is $17$.

let a = 0b0010011011101001u16;
assert_eq!(a.wrapping_mul(a), 17u16);
let b = 0b1101100100010111u16;
assert_eq!(b.wrapping_mul(b), 17u16);

Enumerating a Finitely Generated Group

Let $G$ be the finitely generated group generated by $3$ generators $a, b, c$ subject to the relations $a^2 = b^2 = c^2 = (ab)^3 = (bc)^5 = (ac)^2 = e$.

G = \langle a, b, c : a^2 = b^2 = c^2 = (ab)^3 = (bc)^5 = (ac)^2 = e \rangle

Using Algebraeon, $G$ is found to be a finite group of order $120$.

use algebraeon::groups::free_group::todd_coxeter::*;
let mut g = FinitelyGeneratedGroupPresentation::new();
// Add the 3 generators
let a = g.add_generator();
let b = g.add_generator();
let c = g.add_generator();
// Add the relations
g.add_relation(a.pow(2));
g.add_relation(b.pow(2));
g.add_relation(c.pow(2));
g.add_relation((&a * &b).pow(3));
g.add_relation((&b * &c).pow(5));
g.add_relation((&a * &c).pow(2));
// Count elements
let (n, _) = g.enumerate_elements();
assert_eq!(n, 120);

Jordan Normal Form of a Matrix

use algebraeon::nzq::rational::*;
use algebraeon::rings::{linear::matrix::*, number::algebraic::complex::*};
use algebraeon::sets::structure::*;
// Construct a matrix
let a = Matrix::<Rational>::from_rows(vec![
    vec![5, 4, 2, 1],
    vec![0, 1, -1, -1],
    vec![-1, -1, 3, 0],
    vec![1, 1, -1, 2],
]);
// Put it into Jordan Normal Form
let j = MatrixStructure::new(ComplexAlgebraic::structure()).jordan_normal_form(&a);
j.pprint();
/*
Output:
    / 2    0    0    0 \
    | 0    1    0    0 |
    | 0    0    4    1 |
    \ 0    0    0    4 /
*/

Computing Discriminants

Algebraeon can find an expression for the discriminant of a polynomial in terms of the polynomials coefficients.

use algebraeon::rings::polynomial::{
    multipoly::{MultiPolynomial, Variable},
    polynomial::Polynomial,
};
use algebraeon::nzq::integer::*;

let a_var = Variable::new("a");
let b_var = Variable::new("b");
let c_var = Variable::new("c");
let d_var = Variable::new("d");
let e_var = Variable::new("e");

let a = MultiPolynomial::<Integer>::var(a_var);
let b = MultiPolynomial::<Integer>::var(b_var);
let c = MultiPolynomial::<Integer>::var(c_var);
let d = MultiPolynomial::<Integer>::var(d_var);
let e = MultiPolynomial::<Integer>::var(e_var);

let p =
    Polynomial::<MultiPolynomial<Integer>>::from_coeffs(vec![c.clone(), b.clone(), a.clone()]);
println!("p(λ) = {}", p);
println!("disc(p) = {}", p.discriminant().unwrap());

println!();

let p = Polynomial::<MultiPolynomial<Integer>>::from_coeffs(vec![
    d.clone(),
    c.clone(),
    b.clone(),
    a.clone(),
]);
println!("p(λ) = {}", p);
println!("disc(p) = {}", p.discriminant().unwrap());

println!();

let p = Polynomial::<MultiPolynomial<Integer>>::from_coeffs(vec![
    e.clone(),
    d.clone(),
    c.clone(),
    b.clone(),
    a.clone(),
]);
println!("p(λ) = {}", p);
println!("disc(p) = {}", p.discriminant().unwrap());

/*
Output:
    p(λ) = (c)+(b)λ+(a)λ^2
    disc(p) = (-4)ac+b^2

    p(λ) = (d)+(c)λ+(b)λ^2+(a)λ^3
    disc(p) = (-27)a^2d^2+(18)abcd+(-4)ac^3+(-4)b^3d+b^2c^2
*/

so

\mathop{\text{disc}}(ax^2 + bx + c) = b^2 - 4ac
\mathop{\text{disc}}(ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d) = b^2c^2 - 4ac^3 - 4b^3d - 27a^2d^2 + 18abcd
