exception Not_in_field of Bytes.t
val order : Z.t
The order of the finite field
val zero : t
The neutral element for the addition
val one : t
The neutral element for the multiplication
val is_zero : t -> bool
is_zero x
returns true
if x
is the neutral element for the addition
val is_one : t -> bool
is_one x
returns true
if x
is the neutral element for the multiplication
val random : ?state:Random.State.t -> unit -> t
Use carefully! random ()
returns a random element of the field. A state for the PRNG can be given to initialize the PRNG in the requested state. If no state is given, no initialisation is performed
val non_null_random : ?state:Random.State.t -> unit -> t
Use carefully! non_null_random ()
returns a non null random element of the field. A state for the PRNG can be given to initialize the PRNG in the requested state. If no state is given, no initialisation is performed
negate x
returns -x mod order
. Equivalently, negate x
returns the unique y
such that x + y mod order = 0
Construct a value of type t
from the bytes representation in little endian of the field element. For non prime fields, the encoding starts with the coefficient of the constant monomial. Raise Not_in_field
if the bytes do not represent an element in the field.
From a predefined little endian bytes representation, construct a value of type t
. The same representation than of_bytes_exn
is used. Return None
if the bytes do not represent an element in the field.
Convert the value t to a bytes representation. The number of bytes is size_in_bytes
and the encoding must be in little endian. For instance, the encoding of 1
in prime fields is always a bytes sequence of size size_in_bytes
starting with the byte 0b00000001
. For non prime fields, the encoding starts with the coefficient of the constant monomial.
val factor_power_of_two : int * Z.t
Returns s, q
such that order - 1 = 2^s * q
val of_string : string -> t
Create a value t from a predefined string representation. It is not required that to_string of_string t = t. By default, decimal representation of the number is used, modulo the order of the field
val to_string : t -> string
String representation of a value t. It is not required that to_string of_string t = t. By default, decimal representation of the number is used
of_z x
builds an element t from the Zarith element x
. mod order
is applied if x >= order
to_z x
builds a Zarith element, using the decimal representation. Arithmetic on the result can be done using the modular functions on integers
Returns the Legendre symbol of the parameter. Note it does not work for p = 2
val is_quadratic_residue : t -> bool
is_quadratic_residue x
returns true
if x
is a quadratic residue i.e. if there exists n
such that n^2 mod p = 1
val check_bytes : Bytes.t -> bool
Check if a point, represented as a byte array, is in the field *
fft ~domain ~points
performs a Fourier transform on points
using domain
The domain should be of the form w^{i}
where w
is a principal root of unity. If the domain is of size n
, w
must be a n
-th principal root of unity. The number of points can be smaller than the domain size, but not larger. The complexity is in O(n log(m))
where n
is the domain size and m
the number of points. A new array of size n
is allocated and is returned. The parameters are not modified.
fft_inplace ~domain ~points
performs a Fourier transform on points
using domain
The domain should be of the form w^{i}
where w
is a principal root of unity. If the domain is of size n
, w
must be a n
-th principal root of unity. The number of points must be in the same size than the domain. It does not return anything but modified the points directly. It does only perform one allocation of a scalar for the FFT. It is recommended to use this function if side-effect is acceptable.
ifft ~domain ~points
performs an inverse Fourier transform on points
using domain
. The domain should be of the form w^{-i}
(i.e the "inverse domain") where w
is a principal root of unity. If the domain is of size n
, w
must be a n
-th principal root of unity. The domain size must be exactly the same than the number of points. The complexity is O(n log(n)) where n
is the domain size. A new array of size n
is allocated and is returned. The parameters are not modified.
ifft_inplace ~domain ~points
is the same than ifft
but modifies the array points
instead of returning a new array
add_inplace a b
is the same than add
but writes the result in the first argument, i.e. a
. No allocation happens.
sub_inplace a b
is the same than sub
but writes the result in the first argument, i.e. a
. No allocation happens.
mul_inplace a b
is the same than sub
but writes the result in the first argument, i.e. a
. No allocation happens.
val inverse_exn_inplace : t -> unit
inverse_exn_inplace a
is the same than inverse_exn
but writes the result in a
. No allocation happens.
val double_inplace : t -> unit
double_inplace a
is the same than double
but writes the result in a
. No allocation happens.
val square_inplace : t -> unit
square_inplace a
is the same than square
but writes the result in a
. No allocation happens.
val negate_inplace : t -> unit
negate_inplace a
is the same than negate
but writes the result in a
. No allocation happens.
add_bulk xs
returns the sum of the elements of xs
by performing only one allocation for the output. This method is recommended to save the allocation overhead of using n
times add
.
mul_bulk xs
returns the product of the elements of xs
by performing only one allocation for the output. This method is recommended to save the allocation overhead of using n
times mul
.
compare a b
compares the elements a
and b
based on their bytes representation
inner_product_exn a b
returns the inner product of a
and b
, i.e. sum(a_i * b_i)
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the arguments are not of the same length. Only two allocations are used.
Same than inner_product_exn
but returns an option instead of raising an exception.
val of_int : int -> t
of_int x
is equivalent to of_z (Z.of_int x)
. If x
is is negative, returns the element order - |x|
.
