D.12.3.10 cantorred

Procedure from library hyperel.lib (see hyperel_lib).

Usage:
cantorred(D,h,f);

Return:
list N

Note:
Cantor's algorithm - reduction.
important: Divisor D has to be semireduced!
Computes reduced divisor div(N[1],N[2])= div(D[1],D[2]).
The divisors are defined over the basering.
Curve C: y^2+h(x)y=f(x) is defined over the basering.

Example:
 
LIB "hyperel.lib";
ring R=7,x,dp;
// hyperelliptic curve y^2 + h*y = f
poly h=x;
poly f=x5+5x4+6x2+x+3;
// semireduced divisor
list D=2x4+3x3-3x-2, -x3-2x2+3x+1;
cantorred(D,h,f);
==> [1]:
==>    x2-2x+2
==> [2]:
==>    2x-2
