Description
Examples
Power(a, n)
a
-
multivariate polynomial
n
non-negative integer
The Power function is a placeholder for representing . It is used in conjunction with either mod or modp1.
The call Power(a, n) mod p computes . The multivariate polynomial a must have rational coefficients or coefficients from a finite field specified by RootOfs.
The call modp1(Power(a, n), p) also computes . The polynomial a must be in the modp1 representation and p must be a positive integer.
Power is also equivalent to the infix operator &^ as shown in the examples.
