- 11:36 CoCoALib Bug #1199: GCD bug with high degree arg
- After discovering the _magic prime_ it became clear that the problem is in the computation of the syzygies (the polyn...
- 11:00 CoCoALib Bug #1199 (In Progress): GCD bug with high degree arg
- I wrote a program to try all primes in increasing order. None up to about 12000. Then restarted from 30000, and fou...

- 15:17 CoCoALib Feature #1198: Non-standard DegRevLex (NonStdDegRevLex, WDegRevLex)
- In particular we should have a dedicated @OrdvArith@ implementation for it.
This should make @exponents@ faster, a... - 15:08 CoCoALib Feature #1198 (New): Non-standard DegRevLex (NonStdDegRevLex, WDegRevLex)
- There is a family of cases where a "DegRevLex" ordering with "non-standard" weights is useful.
This can be implement...

- 15:25 CoCoALib Feature #82: C++11 compatibility questions

- 14:40 CoCoALib Feature #1197 (In Progress): IsZeroDet: new fn
- Implement @IsZeroDet@ which should allow a fast modular impl.
- 14:38 CoCoALib Slug #691: Matrix determinant over ZZ
- CoCoALib currently uses DetByCRT rather than the "clever" algorithms used in CoCoA-4.7. This issue should be about p...
- 14:32 CoCoALib Slug #1110 (Feedback): Determinant of matrix over QQ (whose entries are actually integers)
- Done as part of work on Habilitationsschrift.
Now both dets take about 1.8s - 11:51 CoCoALib Design #1124: Move examples directory into doc -- or just change makefile?
- One problem is that the @Makefile@ in the @examples/@ directory states explicitly that all executables depend on @CoC...
- 11:31 CoCoALib Support #1196 (Closed): Split MatrixOps
- Consider splitting the file @MatrixOps.C@ into subfiles with the same prefix. Currently it is over 2000 lines long.
- 11:29 CoCoALib Slug #1187: Matrix rank is slow (over QQ)
- Rank is slower than det even for matrices over a small finite field.
For example a random 500x500 matrix: det takes ...

- 00:43 CoCoALib Support #1195 (Rejected): Release: CoCoALib-0.99580 (together with CoCoA-5.2.4)
- 00:39 CoCoALib Design #1177: File names: use "SparsePolyOps" prefix for pertinent files
- I think the content of @SparsePolyOps.C@ (the original ;-) should be now moved into @SparsePolyOps-RingElem.C@ becaus...
- 00:31 CoCoALib Feature #1178 (Feedback): New function: myPrimaryDecomposition_0dim

The only remaining question is the "squarefree" part. We could just make the ... - 15:25 CoCoALib Feature #259: Squarefree(?) GCD-free basis
- I have checked in the code. There is doc, but no tests.
I am not happy with the class names: *@GCDFreeBasis_BigIn... - 15:06 CoCoALib Design #1159 (Closed): Add global enum "verify/DontVerify"
- This issue has been subsumed by #1167. Closing!
- 14:37 CoCoALib Design #1182 (Feedback): "mod" for BigInt
- Anna has not complained, so moving to *@Feedback@*.
- 14:10 CoCoALib Feature #1154 (Feedback): SmallFpImpl: new ctor arg to say do-not-check-that-arg-is-prime
- I think that @SmallPrime@ solves this matter reasonably well. It does require making 2 ctors (copy-and-paste), but t...
- 11:34 CoCoA-5 Bug #1189 (Feedback): HilbertBasisKer: unhelpful error with some inputs
- Checked in.
- 09:47 CoCoA-5 Bug #1189: HilbertBasisKer: unhelpful error with some inputs

- 11:31 CoCoA-5 Bug #1190 (Feedback): HilbertBasisKer: SEGV (again)
- Added test. Checked in.
- 08:59 CoCoA-5 Bug #1190: HilbertBasisKer: SEGV (again)
- The problem is that this is old C code (@toric@), thus it impossible to make it interruptible (we can interrupt it, o...
- 09:52 CoCoA-5 Design #1194 (Rejected): Rename HilbertBasisKer into LinKerHilbertBasis?
- The functions @HilbertBasisKer@ and @LinKerBasis@ have the same kind of input and output.
Maybe this would be cleare...

- 22:39 CoCoALib Feature #259 (Resolved): Squarefree(?) GCD-free basis
- I have impls of GCDFreeBasis for RingElem and for BigInt.
Not yet checked in/ No tests; one simple example. - 15:39 CoCoALib Support #1193: Naming convention mistakes
- In *@BigIntOps@* there are @quorem@ and @divexact@ (names "inherited" from GMP); but there is also @QuoRem@ in anothe...
- 15:38 CoCoALib Support #1193 (New): Naming convention mistakes
- I have noticed some functions whose names do not follow the naming conventions: _e.g._ *@quorem@* and *@divexact@*

- 17:29 CoCoA-5 Design #1192 (New): RealRoots: rational roots (but not binary rational roots)
- What should @RealRoots@ do with an input like @3*x-1@?
Currently, if the root is integer or a binary rational, @Re... - 16:46 CoCoA-5 Bug #1191 (Feedback): ApproxSolve: log(0) on some examples
- The problem was caused by a new better impl of @RootBound@ which can return zero (if arg is just @x@); the old @RootB...

- Here is a surprise:...
- 16:25 CoCoA-5 Bug #1191: ApproxSolve: log(0) on some examples
- It even fails in a univariate case... @-3*x^2+2*x@.
Investigating... - 16:17 CoCoA-5 Bug #1191 (In Progress): ApproxSolve: log(0) on some examples
- Something odd must have happened: @ApproxSolve@ is failing on almost trivial examples.
Here are some simpler failing... - 16:15 CoCoA-5 Bug #1191 (Closed): ApproxSolve: log(0) on some examples
- The following input attempts to compute log(0)....
- 11:44 CoCoA-5 Bug #1190: HilbertBasisKer: SEGV (again)
- CoCoA should never SEGV --> high priority.
Also it would help to make @HilbertBasisKer@ interruptible.
- 11:43 CoCoA-5 Bug #1190 (Closed): HilbertBasisKer: SEGV (again)
- I get SEGV with the following input:...
- 11:27 CoCoA-5 Bug #1189: HilbertBasisKer: unhelpful error with some inputs
- High priority because it's embarassing, but hopefully easy to fix.
- 11:25 CoCoA-5 Bug #1189 (Closed): HilbertBasisKer: unhelpful error with some inputs
- @HilbertBasisKer@ gives an unhelpful error sometimes:...

- 10:56 CoCoALib Slug #1187: Matrix rank is slow (over QQ)

- The rank function is too slow:...

- The "description" of the email address is correct, but the address inside the "mailto" link is incomplete.
- 22:07 Bug #1186 (New): Web site: mailto link for bugs, suggestions etc broken
- On the main web page for CoCoA, in the bottom left corner, there is a @mailto@ link for sending email to the cocoa te...

- 21:04 CoCoALib Design #832: Generalize grading matrix
- I have just started working on an implementation of isomorphic-to-subring. For example, given @QQ[x,y,z]@ it should ...
- 17:28 CoCoALib Bug #935 (Feedback): ElimMat, ElimHomogMat: complain about zero or negative weights
- Anna says that @ElimMat@ should allow a grading mat with 0 rows, but @ElimHomogMat@ should not.
I have adjusted the ... - 16:16 CoCoALib Bug #935 (In Progress): ElimMat, ElimHomogMat: complain about zero or negative weights
- What is the status of this issue?
What do we allow as "grading matrices"?
Current code requires entries to be int... - 17:11 CoCoA-5 Feature #978 (Resolved): CommonDenom: for polys and lists?
- This appears already to have been done (and documented).
Feedback? Close?

- Changing to *feedback* even though there is scope for improvement.
It seems to be difficult to do this properly in... - 15:53 CoCoALib Feature #202: MatrixView/function for viewing a single row or column (RowMat, ColMat)
- I have just checked the code: it is in @MatrixView@ (as one would expect).
I am not so happy about the names *@Row...
13 Jun 2018
- 14:51 CoCoA-5 Feature #346: Describe should indicate package name
- The CoCoA fn *@Starting@* says when a symbol comes from a package, and which package it comes from, so @describe@ sho...

- 18:35 CoCoALib Feature #1155 (Feedback): Create a new "prime source" iterator
- Time to move to feedback.
Only remaining doubt: the function @NextPrime@ needs to be reconsidered (what happens wh... - 18:32 CoCoALib Feature #1131 (Feedback): Sturm sequence
- Works OK in ad hoc testing -- fixed a couple of bugs.

- A first prototype is in *@BigRatInterval@*
I have even written some doc!

- I have renamed the doc files too.
- 18:20 CoCoALib Design #410: New file: BigRatOps
- I have split the sources (or did Anna do it?). Updated the doc, and all other files.
- 18:18 CoCoALib Design #1180 (Closed): BigRat(0) unexpectedly compiles! (calls ctor with mpq_t arg)
- I have sorted out the doc.
- 16:50 CoCoALib Bug #1130 (In Progress): SqFreeFactor: should it work over ZZ?

- 16:30 CoCoALib Design #764 (Resolved): ExternalLib: simplify configuration
- Can we close this?
- 16:22 CoCoALib Design #1162 (Feedback): Check semantics of NoSmallFactorSeq
