poldiv
Polynomial DivisionSYNOPSIS:
int maxpol, na, nb, nc;
double a[], b[], c[];
nc = na + nb
polini( MAXPOL );
i = poldiv( a, na, b, nb, c );
DESCRIPTION:
i = poldiv( a, na, b, nb, c ); c = b / a, nc = MAXPOL
returns i = the degree of the first nonzero coefficient of a.
The computed quotient c must be divided by x^i.
An error message is printed if a is identically zero.
a, b, c are polynomials of degree na, nb, nc respectively.
The degree of a polynomial cannot exceed a run-time value MAXPOL.
An operation that attempts to use or generate a polynomial of higher degree might produce a result that suffers truncation at degree MAXPOL.
The value of MAXPOL is set by calling the function
polini( MAXPOL );
Each polynomial is represented by an array containing its coefficients, together with a separately declared integer equal to the degree of the polynomial.
The coefficients appear in ascending order; that is,
2 na
a(x) = a[0] + a[1] * x + a[2] * x + ... + a[na] * x .
