from sage.all import * def multidiv(f, gs): r""" Divide the multivariate polynomial ``f`` by the ordered list of polynomials ``gs`` from the same ring. INPUT: - ``f`` -- A multivariate polynomial, the "numerator," that we try to express as a combination of the ``gs``. - ``gs`` -- An ordered list of multipolynomials, the "denominators," in the same ring as ``f``. OUTPUT: A pair, the first component of which is the list of "quotients," and the second of which is the remainder. All quotients and the remainder will live in the same ring as ``f`` and the ``gs``. If the ordered list of "quotients" is ``qs``, then ``f`` is the remainder plus the sum of all ``qs[i]*gs[i]``. The remainder is either zero, or a linear combination of monomials none of which are divisible by any of the leading terms of the ``gs``. Moreover if ``qs[i]*gs[i]`` is nonzero, then the multidegree of ``f`` is greater than or equal to the multidegree of ``qs[i]*gs[i]``. SETUP:: sage: from mjo.polynomial import multidiv ALGORITHM: The algorithm from Theorem 3 in Section 2.3 of Cox, Little, and O'Shea is used almost verbatim. REFERENCES: - David A.
