Replacement -- When changing coordinates, whether to replace variables by general degree 1 forms, binomials, etc.

Synopsis

Description

When calling various functions, setting Replacement => Full will mean that coordinates are changed to a general degree 1 form. If Replacement => Binomial, the coordinates are only changed to binomials, which can be much faster for certain applications. Other options include Replacement => Monomial and Replacement => Trinomial.

i1 : R = ZZ/101[a,b,c,d,e];
i2 : randomCoordinateChange(R, Replacement=>Monomial)

              ZZ
o2 = map (R, ---[a..e], {a, d, e, b, c})
             101

                    ZZ
o2 : RingMap R <-- ---[a..e]
                   101
i3 : randomCoordinateChange(R, Replacement=>Binomial)

              ZZ
o3 = map (R, ---[a..e], {- 16a + d, -12c, - 24d + e, a + 19d, b + 21c})
             101

                    ZZ
o3 : RingMap R <-- ---[a..e]
                   101
i4 : randomCoordinateChange(R, Replacement=>Trinomial)

              ZZ
o4 = map (R, ---[a..e], {22b + 45d + e, 47b + 40d, 11b + c + 36d, - 11a + d + 43e, a - 16b - 48d})
             101

                    ZZ
o4 : RingMap R <-- ---[a..e]
                   101
i5 : randomCoordinateChange(R, Replacement=>Full)

              ZZ
o5 = map (R, ---[a..e], {- 10a + 30b - 18c + 39d + 27e, 24a - 30b - 48c - 15d + 39e, 29a - 47b + 15c - 37d - 13e, - 22a + 32b - 9c - 32d - 20e, 33b - 49c - 33d - 19e})
             101

                    ZZ
o5 : RingMap R <-- ---[a..e]
                   101

If Homogeneous => false in these cases, then there will be constant terms, and we view $mx + b$ as a monomial.
