sage: u=c*(d+e) sage: v=c*d+c*e sage: I.reduce(u.lift()) == I.reduce(v.lift()) False whereas: sage: u.lift() - v.lift() in I True Currently, u.__cmp__ uses the former to test equality, and it should probably use the latter. The reasoning is argued in the code. It looks like univariate polynomial ideals should just get a containment test implemented -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
