Polynomial in traditional format
gfpretty(a)
gfpretty(a,st)
gfpretty(a,st,n)
gfpretty(a) displays
a polynomial in a traditional format, using X as
the variable and the entries of the row vector a as
the coefficients in order of ascending powers. The polynomial is displayed
in order of ascending powers. Terms having a zero coefficient are
not displayed.
gfpretty(a,st) is the
same as the first syntax listed, except that the content of st is
used as the variable instead of X.
gfpretty(a,st,n) is
the same as the first syntax listed, except that the content of st is
used as the variable instead of X, and each line
of the display has width n instead of the default
value of 79.
Note
For all syntaxes: If you do not use a fixed-width font, the spacing in the display might not look correct.
Display statements about the elements of GF(81).
p = 3; m = 4; ii = randi([1,p^m-2],1,1); % Random exponent for prim element primpolys = gfprimfd(m,'all',p); [rows, cols] = size(primpolys); jj = randi([1,rows],1,1); % Random primitive polynomial disp('If A is a root of the primitive polynomial') gfpretty(primpolys(jj,:)) % Polynomial in X disp('then the element') gfpretty([zeros(1,ii),1],'A') % The polynomial A^ii disp('can also be expressed as') gfpretty(gftuple(ii,m,p),'A') % Polynomial in A
Below is a sample of the output.
If A is a root of the primitive polynomial
3 4
2 + 2 X + X
then the element
22
A
can also be expressed as
2 3
2 + A + A
