Scalar-multiple polynomial evaluation #
This file defines polynomial evaluation via scalar multiplication. Our polynomials have
coefficients in a semiring R
, and we evaluate at a weak form of R
-algebra, namely an additive
commutative monoid with an action of R
and a notion of natural number power. This
is a generalization of Algebra.Polynomial.Eval
.
Main definitions #
Polynomial.smeval
: function for evaluating a polynomial with coefficients in aSemiring
R
at an elementx
of anAddCommMonoid

: thesmeval

-linear map, whenS
is anR
-module.smeval.algebraMap
: thesmeval
function as anR
-algebra map, whenS
is anR
-algebra.

In the module docstring for algebras at Mathlib.Algebra.Algebra.Basic
, we see that
[CommSemiring R] [Semiring S] [Module R S] [IsScalarTower R S S] [SMulCommClass R S S]
is an
equivalent way to express [CommSemiring R] [Semiring S] [Algebra R S]
that allows one to relax
the defining structures independently. For non-associative power-associative algebras (e.g.,
octonions), we replace the [Semiring S]
with [NonAssocSemiring S] [Pow S ℕ] [NatPowAssoc S]
.
