Changes in Round4 |
Dear all, I have committed a number of changes to the CVS version of PARI/GP Round4 algorithm (essentially to fix some precision issues). This is the algorithm used to compute maximal orders of number fields (functions: nfbasis, nfdisc, nfinit...) and factorize polynomials over the p-adic numbers (function: factorpadic). I'll be glad to hear about any bugs/regressions resulting from these changes. Note that since I fixed parts of the old version where it was cutting corners, the new version could show a small performance loss in some examples. Significant improvements are not impossible (though not very likely) as I also fixed some slight inefficiencies. I'll be happy to hear about those too. In general, I'm very much interested in examples of polynomials for which the algorithm performs poorly (compared to the degree and the size of the discriminant). Have fun, Xavier
