GP: algdep() bug? |
Pari Developers, I don't know if this is exactly a bug, but perhaps there is some other explanation why it won't find the polynomial : ? \v GP/PARI CALCULATOR Version 2.2.3 (development) UltraSparc (MicroSparc kernel) 32-bit version (readline v2.2 enabled, extended help not available) ? p=x^8+1+9424*(-x^7+x^5+x^3-x)+7740*(x^6+x^2)+15494*x^4; ? p2=subst(p,x,I*x^2); ? rp=polroots(p); ? r_7=rp[7]; ? print(p==algdep(r_7,8)); 1 ? rp2=polroots(p2); ? r2_7=rp2[7]; ? print(algdep(r2_7,16)); *** precision too low in lindep. ? \p4000 realprecision = 4007 significant digits (4000 digits displayed) ? rp2=polroots(p2); ? r2_7=rp2[7]; ? print(algdep(r2_7,16)); *** precision too low in lindep. ? quit It seems to me that 4000 digits should be enough, but I have been wrong before. Shalom, Michael
