11:57 Feature #1249: principal ideal has a Gbasis
Has this already been done?
I think what Anna showed me in Genova, indicated that it has been done. If so, we can c...
John Abbott
13:34 Bug #1300 (Closed): CoprimeFactorBasis: mishandles negative args
Added a test (to @test-bug1.C@).
Corrected name in doc in @doc/txt/NumTheory.txt@.
John Abbott
12:22 Slug #866: implicit, ImplicitHypersurface: improve output verification
2019-10-01: I have just tried the example from comment 2, and now it takes about 5.9s on my computer.
John Abbott
12:15 Bug #1248: MinPolyQuot: guaranteed and ideal without GBasis
We should either close this issue (almost immediately), or postpone it (to 0.99700?). John Abbott
12:07 Feature #813: Implement "elim" in CoCoALib
I have increased this to max priority because I believe it is trivial to achieve, and it would be nice to close the i... John Abbott
12:00 Design #707: MatrixOrderingMod32749Impl: test and write documentation!
Can we use a bigger modulus now that we are effectively assuming 64-bit platform? (are we?) John Abbott
11:55 Slug #1105: Primary Decompositon (zero-dim) slow cases
Here is a short file which checks the computation times of the examples given above:... John Abbott
11:37 Feature #259 (Feedback): Squarefree(?) GCD-free basis
I changed the names (not sure when).
A problem with the integer version is that the "squarefree" part is potential...
John Abbott
11:31 Bug #1250 (Closed): SEGV: CoCoALib with Normaliz in multithreading
This has been in "feedback" for 7 months, so I'm closing.

19:42 Slug #1324: Improve RootBound
*CAREFUL* with the suggestions below: it is likely the @RootBound@ is used internally when factorizing or computing s... John Abbott
19:40 Slug #1324 (In Progress): Improve RootBound
It maybe possible to improve @RootBound@ (in some cases) by using @SqfreeFactor@.
Also the CoCoA-5 prototype @Good...
John Abbott
19:32 Support #1263: Tidy CoCoALib test directory
I have transferred test-bugN into test-bug1 for N=6,7,8,9. So far, so good.
John Abbott
16:14 Feature #1323: Improve RealRoots: compute sqfr decomp
Sqfr decomp should always be reasonably quick; full factorization could be slow if the input is "nasty".
One could...
John Abbott
16:11 Feature #1323: Improve RealRoots: compute sqfr decomp
I have already begun writing a package called @RRList@.
I think this is related, esp. as regards combining the inter...

16:09 Feature #1323 (New): Improve RealRoots: compute sqfr decomp
Consider changing @RealRoots@ so that it computes the sqfr decomp of the input poly, then works on the separate piece... John Abbott

17:33 Bug #905 (Closed): txt2tags: double quotes wrong in LaTeX
John Abbott
17:27 Bug #1317 (Closed): txt2tags: LaTeX/PDF section numbers over 99 in TOC
Works reasonably well for me. Closing.

17:13 Feature #1283 (Closed): Printing for (prime) finite fields
Where should the documentation go? John Abbott
16:04 Feature #1283 (Resolved): Printing for (prime) finite fields
John Abbott
14:33 Feature #1283: Printing for (prime) finite fields
Anna says OK to my "hack".
Now I need to document and check everything in.

15:29 Bug #1319: Problem rebuilding dependencies when file PREPROCESSOR_DEFNS.H does not exist
The point is that @make veryclean@ also deletes (most of?) the files generated by configuration.
Something is evid...
John Abbott
15:13 Bug #1319: Problem rebuilding dependencies when file PREPROCESSOR_DEFNS.H does not exist
The error mesgs appear when the makefile tries to rebuild the dependencies.
John Abbott
15:11 Bug #1319 (Closed): Problem rebuilding dependencies when file PREPROCESSOR_DEFNS.H does not exist
I did something like the following, and ended with lots of error messages about @PREPROCESSOR_DEFNS.H@ not existing.

John Abbott
14:28 Support #1263: Tidy CoCoALib test directory
Anna approves of merging the exbugs into a single file, and to including @CoCoA/library.H@.
Do this (soon!)
John Abbott
08:00 Bug #1317 (Feedback): txt2tags: LaTeX/PDF section numbers over 99 in TOC
Fixed. CVSed. Anna Maria Bigatti
07:38 Feature #1209: New function: HasPositiveGrading
We decided (personal discussion) to implement it only for @ring@, because the real utility of this function is for co... Anna Maria Bigatti

15:51 Bug #1317: txt2tags: LaTeX/PDF section numbers over 99 in TOC
we need to play with the arguments in ... Anna Maria Bigatti
15:47 Bug #1317: txt2tags: LaTeX/PDF section numbers over 99 in TOC
Anna thinks this may be easy to resolve.
John Abbott
15:12 Bug #1317 (Closed): txt2tags: LaTeX/PDF section numbers over 99 in TOC
In the index/table-of-contents there is no enough space for section numbers greater than 99.
The section number ov...

10:50 Feature #1209: New function: HasPositiveGrading
Apparently we decided to remove the function I was going to use (@IsPosiveGrading@ with two args), but in the time be... Anna Maria Bigatti
10:16 Feature #1209 (In Progress): New function: HasPositiveGrading
Now I understand what I meant.
+ There is a function called @IsPositiveGrading@ taking a weight matrix for input. T...

13:00 Feature #1209: New function: HasPositiveGrading
Do you simply mean a @GradingDim@ function which can be applied to a @PPMonoid@ or a @SparsePolyRing@? John Abbott
12:54 Slug #1170: SmoothFactor: slow when a factor is found
An idea (in C++) is to have a sort of @SmoothFactor@ iterator which can be told to continue from where it has reached... John Abbott
12:41 Slug #1238: ReadExpr is too slow on long lists of monomial with many indets: ---> use RingElems instead
I have run the profiler.
A lot of time is spent in *@AreDistinct(vector<symbol>)@*; presumably the call is around @r...

Here is another case where it is surprisingly slow:... John Abbott
12:16 Slug #1238: ReadExpr is too slow on long lists of monomial with many indets: ---> use RingElems instead
2019-09-23 This is still very slow. Here is a specific test case:... John Abbott
11:49 Bug #1211: HilbertSeries should check grading
JAA confirms that this bug still exists in the current build (2019-09-23).

11:30 Support #1263: Tidy CoCoALib test directory
I added a new "exbug" to one of the @test-bugN.C@ files, and noticed that it was quite a nuisance having to add all t... John Abbott

13:51 Bug #905: txt2tags: double quotes wrong in LaTeX
This is still a problem. It would be nice to fix it before a deadline on 29th Sept!
I am also not convinced by th...

11:29 Bug #1310 (Feedback): RealRoots: gives odd number of roots for deg 6 irred poly
I have found a bug, and fixed it! It produces reasonable answers on the two tests mentioned above:... John Abbott

I now have a simpler failing example:... John Abbott

17:32 Bug #1310 (In Progress): RealRoots: gives odd number of roots for deg 6 irred poly
There appear to be two real roots: approx -4.00095 and 1.05
@RootBound(f)@ gives about 2.95; *this is wrong!*
John Abbott
13:53 Bug #1310 (Closed): RealRoots: gives odd number of roots for deg 6 irred poly
The following looks to be wrong:... John Abbott
12:26 Design #1309: SmoothFactor: allow limit = 1?
I have just changed the code to allow limit=1. All tests and examples pass (which suggests that the tests were not v... John Abbott
11:58 Design #1309: SmoothFactor: allow limit = 1?
There are two separate impls for @SmoothFactor@ (one for @MachineInt@ and one for @BigInt@). One allowed the limit 1... John Abbott
11:41 Design #1309 (In Progress): SmoothFactor: allow limit = 1?
The original reason for imposing the limit was to help users detect "obviously silly" function calls. Now I think th... John Abbott
11:36 Design #1309 (Closed): SmoothFactor: allow limit = 1?
The @SmoothFactor@ function tries to factorize integers by dividing by all primes up to a specified limit.
