    08:14 Wouldn't it be faster to multiply two of the three remaining polynomials pairwise to see if we get our original polynomial, instead of doing the long division? (I mean, it's _long_ after all :J ) Or by evaluating the big polynomial at the roots of the shorter ones one by one? (If the big one contains the small one as one of its factors, and we made that factor 0 by substituting its root, the same should happen with the big polynomial at that root if they are supposed to be equal, right?)

    32:42 Is there any systematic way to come up with a polynomial in the modulus so that it would be GUARANTEED that for each argument it will give a DIFFERENT result? (that is, no situations like in your example, that f(2) = f(3) = f(1) = 2; all of them should give something else).

    • @astrophilip

      a*x^m + c, where m is relatively prime to (p-1) should work. i wonder if there are other cases

    • @bonbonpony
      @bonbonpony Před 4 lety

      @@astrophilip Hmm... Indeed it seems to generate different results for each `x`. However, some arrangements of those results seem to be unreachable :/
      Let's try the simplest one, for p=5, so p-1=4, and there's only one number coprime to it: 3, so let m=3, and then a·x³+c is our polynomial.
      First, let's check different a's in columns:
      x | x³ 2·x³ 3·x³ 4·x³
      0 | 0 0 0 0
      1 | 1 2 3 4
      2 | 3 1 4 2
      3 | 2 4 1 3
      4 | 4 3 2 1
      For each of these columns, we can shift it by the offset c around the modulus and get 4 other such tables, or 4·5=20 different arrangements of the numbers from 0 to 4. But the number of all POSSIBLE arrangements is of course 5!=120, so we're missing 100 of them :q
      Even if we suppose that we only use the numbers 1..4 for our x, and replace 0 with whatever number is missing in the +c tables (so that the results were also in the 1..4 range), it's still only 20 out of 4!=24 possible arrangements. Here are the ones we're missing for 4-element sets:
      1234, 2413, 3142, 4321
      The 1234 can be accounted for if we allow the "identity" function x¹, but what about the other three?
      *Edit:* Nevermind, it seems that a·x¹ does the job, since:
      1,2,3,4 ·2 = 2,4,1,3
      1,2,3,4 ·3 = 3,1,4,2
      1,2,3,4 ·4 = 4,3,2,1
      Now I need to check if it still works for bigger moduli...

    For Eisenstein does the prime need to be prime in F for polynomials in F[x]? Obviously no because 2 and 3 are not prime in Q, but are considered as prime for the test for Q[x]. So is there any restriction on where p is prime? As of now I'm assuming p prime in Z.

    I'm struggling with a counter example to both approaches: x^2+4x+16. By Eisenstein, p=2 (or using 2^2), it should be reducible. If we use Z_3 where p=3 x^2+x+1 shows it should be reducible when x=1 a factor. The original roots are complex to boot. If I introduce x=x+1, then it changes to x^2+6x+21. Then using p=3 satisfies Eisenstein. Is there a way to know when to not trust the false positive given by Eisenstein and the Zp test and/or which element to use to test?

    • @HamblinMath
      @HamblinMath  Před rokem

      Eisenstein's Criterion cannot tell you that a polynomial is *reducible,* only that it is irreducible. If the criterion fails to apply, then it just tells you nothing; that's not a "false positive."

    • @HamblinMath

      You are correct that 1 is a root of x^2+2, and thus x^2+2 must be reducible. In fact, we know that x - 1 (which is equal to x+2 in Z_3) must be a factor of x^2+2. Doing polynomial long division shows us that x^2+2 = (x+2)(x+1).

      It has to have a factor of a combination of (1 and 3) or (2 and 2). If you're going to prove either, you only need to prove one of the factors. The 1 and 3 combination can't exist if there is no 1. Thus, to save yourself the time, you only need to prove that 1 or 2 can't exist, and leave 3 alone. You can use 3, but you're just creating more work for yourself for the same outcome.

      No, if you can't find a prime for which Eisenstein's criterion applies, you cannot conclude anything about the polynomial. For example, neither x^2 + 1 and x^2 - 1 have a prime that works for Eisenstein's criterion, and one is irreducible and the other is reducible.
