On a related note, it is usually a bad idea to create polynomial rings over polynomial rings if you really want multivariate polynomials. If anything, the proper multivariate polynomials will be much faster:
sage: R.<x,t> = GF(5)[] sage: f = x^10+2*x^6+2*x^5+x+2-t sage: f = x^10+2*x^6+2*x^5+x+2 sage: R.<x,t> = GF(5)[] sage: f = x^10+2*x^6+2*x^5+x+2 sage: (f-t).discriminant(x) -t^5 sage: (f-t).discriminant(t) 1 On Sunday, January 20, 2013 2:06:00 PM UTC, Peter Mueller wrote: > > I believe the following Sage code (version 4.5.1) exhibits a bug: > > sage: K.<t>=GF(5)[] > sage: R.<x>=K[] > sage: S.<y>=GF(5)[] > sage: f=x^10+2*x^6+2*x^5+x+2 > sage: > sage: S(f).factor() > (y + 3)^6 * (y^4 + 2*y^3 + 4*y^2 + 3*y + 3) > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
