Cyclotomic polynomial: Difference between revisions

Line 2,074:
 
* the coefficients of cyclotomic polynomials after 1 form a palindrome (that's the <tt>q#1</tt> phrase in the implementation).
* the coefficients of the cyclotomic polynomial for a prime number havehas as many terms as that number, and the coefficients are all 1.
* powers of primes add zero coefficients to the polynomial (that's the <tt>,(y%*/q) {."0</tt> ... phrase in the implementation). This means that we can mostly ignore powers of prime numbers -- they're just going to correspond to zeros we add to the base polynomial.
* an even base cyclotomic polynomial is the same as the corresponding odd base cyclotomic polynomial except with x replaced by negative x. (that's the <tt>(* 1 _1 $~ #)</tt> phrase in the implementation.
