13:14 Slug #874: factor: too slow on largish multivariate poly
Mario has just sent me an even bigger polynomial to try: 100 indets, about 127000 terms, total degree 9.
He also m...

10:50 Slug #874 (In Progress): factor: too slow on largish multivariate poly
Computing all contents takes about 44s; and computing contents wrt all indets which appear just linearly takes about ... John Abbott
10:42 Slug #874: factor: too slow on largish multivariate poly
Mario has given me an example poly. The poly ring has 84 indets; the poly itself uses 69 indets, and has about 6800 ... John Abbott
10:37 Slug #874 (In Progress): factor: too slow on largish multivariate poly
Mario generates lots of multivariate polys (over @QQ@); most of them are irreducible. He reports that factorization ... John Abbott
10:34 Support #861 (In Progress): Janet basis code: TmpJB files give some problems with C++11 (using CLANG/LLVM)
Mario has given me an updated version of his code. He has used the @__cplusplus@ preprocessor variable to have code ... John Abbott

22:00 Feature #873: bool3: add some logical operations?
(Maybe this is what you had in mind from the beginning)
I think the only safe definition for @and3@ is the @and@ bet...

19:21 Feature #873: bool3: add some logical operations?
The "monomial generators" case is easy.
The "is a monomial ideal" is hard in any case: even if both ideals are not m...

18:53 Feature #873: bool3: add some logical operations?
I expect in some cases we want
uncertain3 and false3 = false3 (sum of ideals has monomial generators)
and other t...

18:15 Feature #873 (In Progress): bool3: add some logical operations?
It would not be harmful to your code if @bool3@ offered the functions, but you may be right that it would not simplif... John Abbott

10:45 Feature #873: bool3: add some logical operations?
I'm against this idea. Indeed it might be handy, but dangerous as well: while working on fixing a bug on the bool3 f... Anna Maria Bigatti

18:49 Feature #873: bool3: add some logical operations?
BOOST also offers a "not" operation. It would be trivial to implement @not3@ (giving value 1 - arg).
If we do off...
John Abbott
18:45 Feature #873: bool3: add some logical operations?
Part of the motivation comes from Anna's rectification of code for ideal arithmetic (see issue #870).
For example ...
John Abbott
18:42 Feature #873: bool3: add some logical operations?
I suggest adding the following two operations:
* *and* which is equivalent to "minimum"
* *or* which is equivalent...
John Abbott
18:37 Feature #873 (In Progress): bool3: add some logical operations?
Currently there are no logical operations on @bool3@ values.
Discuss whether it may be helpful to include some sim...

The current impl of @SliceCoreQQ@ is simple rather than efficient.
