The PARI system is a package which is capable of doing formal computations on recursive types at high speed; it is primarily aimed at number theorists, but can be used by anybody whose primary need is speed. Although quite an amount of symbolic manipulation is possible in PARI, this system does very badly compared to much more sophisticated systems like Axiom, Macsyma, Maple, Mathematica or Reduce on such manipulations (e.g. multivariate polynomials, formal integration, etc... ). On the other hand, the three main advantages of the system are its speed (which can be between 5 and 100 times better on many computations), the possibility of using directly data types which are familiar to mathematicians, and its extensive algebraic number theory module which has no equivalent in the above-mentioned systems. It is possible to use PARI in three different ways: 1) as a library, which can be called from an upper-level language application, for instance written in C or C++; 2) as a sophisticated programmable calculator, named GP, which contains most of the control instructions of a standard language like C; 3) the compiler GP2C can translate GP code to C, and load them into the GP interpreter. A typical script compiled by GP2C will typically run 3 to 10 times faster. The C code can also be edited and optimized by hand. The use of GP is explained in chapters 2 and 3, and the programming in library mode is explained in chapters 3, 4 and 5. In the present Chapter 1, we give an overview of the system. Important note: A tutorial for GP is provided in the standard distribution (tutorial.dvi) and you should read this first (at least the beginning of it, you can skip the specialized topics you’re not interested in). You can then start over and read the more boring stuff which lies ahead. But you should do that eventually, at the very least the various Chapter headings. You can have a quick idea of what is available by looking at the GP reference card (refcard.dvi or refcard.ps). In case of need, you can then refer to the complete function description in Chapter 3. How to get the latest version? This package can be obtained by anonymous ftp from quite a number of sites (ask your favourite Web search engine for the site nearest to you). But, if you want the very latest version (including development versions), you should use the anonymous ftp address ftp://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari where you will find all the different ports and possibly some binaries. A lot of version information, mailing list archives, and various tips can be found on PARI’s home page: http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/ 5 Implementation notes: (You can skip this section and switch to Section 1.2 if you’re not inter- ested in hardware technicalities. You won’t miss anything that would be mentioned here.) The PARI package contains essentially three variants. See Appendix A for how to set up one of these on your system. In a first version, some time-critical parts of the multiprecision kernel are written in assembler, a few hundred lines at most. At present there exists three versions for the Sparc architecture: one for Sparc version 7 (e.g. Sparcstation 1, 1+, IPC, IPX or 2), one for Sparc version 8 with SuperSparc processors (e.g. SparcStation 10 and 20) and one for Sparc version 8 with MicroSparc I or II processors (e.g. SparcClassic or SparcStation 4 and 5). No specific version is written for the UltraSparc since it can use the MicroSparc II version. In addition, versions exist for the DEC Alpha 64-bit processors, and finally the whole ix86 family (Intel, AMD, Cyrix) starting at the 386 (up to the Xbox gaming console!). Finally, there are unmaintained, much less optimized and not really usable anymore, micro-kernels for the HP-PA architecture (only for HPUX 9, does not work with HPUX 10), and for the PowerPC architecture (only for the 601, does not compile anymore). A second version uses the GNU MP library to implement its multiprecision kernel, and should run on any platform where GMP could be installed. The GMP kernel is about as fast as the native one for small operands, and much faster for huge ones (say, about twice faster around 10000 decimal digits). A third version is written entirely in ANSI C, with a C++-compatible syntax, and should be portable without much trouble to any 32 or 64-bit computer having no real memory constraints. It is about 2 times slower than versions including an assembly kernel. This version has been tested for example on MIPS based DECstations 3100 and 5000 and SGI computers, on various Macs (based on 680x0 chips or more recent PowerPCs, like the G3 or G4), new Intel chips like ARM (handheld devices) or ia64 (Itanium). In addition, PARI has been ported to a considerable number of smaller and larger machines, for example the VAX, 68000-based machines like the Atari, Mac Classic or Amiga 500, 68020 machines such as the Amiga 2500 or 3000, or mainframes like the IBM/S390. An historical version of the PARI/GP kernel, written in 1985, was specific to 680x0 based computers, and was entirely writen in MC68020 assembly language (around 6000 lines). It ran on SUN-3/xx, Sony News, NeXT cubes and on 680x0 based Macs. Since 1997, this version was unmaintained; it has been removed from the PARI distribution in version 2.2.5. To run PARI with a 68k assembler micro-kernel, one now uses the GMP version. 1.2 The PARI types. The crucial word in PARI is recursiveness: most of the types it knows about are recursive. For example, the basic type Complex exists (actually called t_COMPLEX). However, the components (i.e. the real and imaginary part) of such a “complex number” can be of any type. The only sensible ones are integers (we are then in Z[i]), rational numbers (Q[i]), real numbers (R[i] = C), or even elements of Z/nZ ((Z/nZ)[i] when this makes sense), or p-adic numbers when p 3 mod 4 (Q [i]). ≡ p This feature must of course not be used too rashly: for example you are in principle allowed to create objects which are “complex numbers of complex numbers”, but don’t expect PARI to make sensible use of such objects: you will mainly get nonsense. On the other hand, one thing which is allowed is to have components of different, but com- patible, types. For example, taking again complex numbers, the real part could be of type integer, and the imaginary part of type rational.

  • Using Macaulay2 Effectively in Practice
    Using Macaulay2 effectively in practice Mike Stillman ([email protected]) Department of Mathematics Cornell 22 July 2019 / IMA Sage/M2 Macaulay2: at a glance Project started in 1993, Dan Grayson and Mike Stillman. Open source. Key computations: Gr¨obnerbases, free resolutions, Hilbert functions and applications of these. Rings, Modules and Chain Complexes are first class objects. Language which is comfortable for mathematicians, yet powerful, expressive, and fun to program in. Now a community project Journal of Software for Algebra and Geometry (started in 2009. Now we handle: Macaulay2, Singular, Gap, Cocoa) (original editors: Greg Smith, Amelia Taylor). Strong community: including about 2 workshops per year. User contributed packages (about 200 so far). Each has doc and tests, is tested every night, and is distributed with M2. Lots of activity Over 2000 math papers refer to Macaulay2. History: 1976-1978 (My undergrad years at Urbana) E. Graham Evans: asked me to write a program to compute syzygies, from Hilbert's algorithm from 1890. Really didn't work on computers of the day (probably might still be an issue!). Instead: Did computation degree by degree, no finishing condition. Used Buchsbaum-Eisenbud \What makes a complex exact" (by hand!) to see if the resulting complex was exact. Winfried Bruns was there too. Very exciting time. History: 1978-1983 (My grad years, with Dave Bayer, at Harvard) History: 1978-1983 (My grad years, with Dave Bayer, at Harvard) I tried to do \real mathematics" but Dave Bayer (basically) rediscovered Groebner bases, and saw that they gave an algorithm for computing all syzygies. I got excited, dropped what I was doing, and we programmed (in Pascal), in less than one week, the first version of what would be Macaulay.

  • Singular Value Decomposition and Its Numerical Computations
    Singular Value Decomposition and its numerical computations Wen Zhang, Anastasios Arvanitis and Asif Al-Rasheed ABSTRACT The Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is widely used in many engineering fields. Due to the important role that the SVD plays in real-time computations, we try to study its numerical characteristics and implement the numerical methods for calculating it. Generally speaking, there are two approaches to get the SVD of a matrix, i.e., direct method and indirect method. The first one is to transform the original matrix to a bidiagonal matrix and then compute the SVD of this resulting matrix. The second method is to obtain the SVD through the eigen pairs of another square matrix. In this project, we implement these two kinds of methods and develop the combined methods for computing the SVD. Finally we compare these methods with the built-in function in Matlab (svd) regarding timings and accuracy. 1. INTRODUCTION The singular value decomposition is a factorization of a real or complex matrix and it is used in many applications. Let A be a real or a complex matrix with m by n dimension. Then the SVD of A is: where is an m by m orthogonal matrix, Σ is an m by n rectangular diagonal matrix and is the transpose of n ä n matrix. The diagonal entries of Σ are known as the singular values of A. The m columns of U and the n columns of V are called the left singular vectors and right singular vectors of A, respectively. Both U and V are orthogonal matrices.

  • Installation Guide for the UNIX Versions
    Appendix A: Installation Guide for the UNIX Versions 1. Required tools. Compiling PARI requires an ANSI C or a C++ compiler. If you do not have one, we suggest that you obtain the gcc/g++ compiler. As for all GNU software mentioned afterwards, you can find the most convenient site to fetch gcc at the address http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html (On Mac OS X, this is also provided in the Xcode tool suite.) You can certainly compile PARI with a different compiler, but the PARI kernel takes advantage of optimizations provided by gcc. This results in at least 20% speedup on most architectures. Optional packages. The following programs and libraries are useful in conjunction with gp, but not mandatory. In any case, get them before proceeding if you want the functionalities they provide. All of them are free. • GNU MP library. This provides an alternative multiprecision kernel, which is faster than PARI's native one, but unfortunately binary incompatible. To enable detection of GMP, use Con- figure --with-gmp. You should really do this if you only intend to use GP, and probably also if you will use libpari unless you have backwards compatibility requirements. • GNU readline library. This provides line editing under GP, an automatic context-dependent completion, and an editable history of commands. Note that it is incompatible with SUN com- mandtools (yet another reason to dump Suntools for X Windows). • GNU gzip/gunzip/gzcat package enables GP to read compressed data. • GNU emacs. GP can be run in an Emacs buffer, with all the obvious advantages if you are familiar with this editor.

  • An Alternative Algorithm for Computing the Betti Table of a Monomial Ideal 3
    AN ALTERNATIVE ALGORITHM FOR COMPUTING THE BETTI TABLE OF A MONOMIAL IDEAL MARIA-LAURA TORRENTE AND MATTEO VARBARO Abstract. In this paper we develop a new technique to compute the Betti table of a monomial ideal. We present a prototype implementation of the resulting algorithm and we perform numerical experiments suggesting a very promising efficiency. On the way of describing the method, we also prove new constraints on the shape of the possible Betti tables of a monomial ideal. 1. Introduction Since many years syzygies, and more generally free resolutions, are central in purely theo- retical aspects of algebraic geometry; more recently, after the connection between algebra and statistics have been initiated by Diaconis and Sturmfels in [DS98], free resolutions have also become an important tool in statistics (for instance, see [D11, SW09]). As a consequence, it is fundamental to have efficient algorithms to compute them. The usual approach uses Gr¨obner bases and exploits a result of Schreyer (for more details see [Sc80, Sc91] or [Ei95, Chapter 15, Section 5]). The packages for free resolutions of the most used computer algebra systems, like [Macaulay2, Singular, CoCoA], are based on these techniques. In this paper, we introduce a new algorithmic method to compute the minimal graded free resolution of any finitely generated graded module over a polynomial ring such that some (possibly non- minimal) graded free resolution is known a priori. We describe this method and we present the resulting algorithm in the case of monomial ideals in a polynomial ring, in which situ- ation we always have a starting nonminimal graded free resolution.

  • Computations in Algebraic Geometry with Macaulay 2
    Computations in algebraic geometry with Macaulay 2 Editors: D. Eisenbud, D. Grayson, M. Stillman, and B. Sturmfels Preface Systems of polynomial equations arise throughout mathematics, science, and engineering. Algebraic geometry provides powerful theoretical techniques for studying the qualitative and quantitative features of their solution sets. Re- cently developed algorithms have made theoretical aspects of the subject accessible to a broad range of mathematicians and scientists. The algorith- mic approach to the subject has two principal aims: developing new tools for research within mathematics, and providing new tools for modeling and solv- ing problems that arise in the sciences and engineering. A healthy synergy emerges, as new theorems yield new algorithms and emerging applications lead to new theoretical questions. This book presents algorithmic tools for algebraic geometry and experi- mental applications of them. It also introduces a software system in which the tools have been implemented and with which the experiments can be carried out. Macaulay 2 is a computer algebra system devoted to supporting research in algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and their applications. The reader of this book will encounter Macaulay 2 in the context of concrete applications and practical computations in algebraic geometry. The expositions of the algorithmic tools presented here are designed to serve as a useful guide for those wishing to bring such tools to bear on their own problems. A wide range of mathematical scientists should find these expositions valuable. This includes both the users of other programs similar to Macaulay 2 (for example, Singular and CoCoA) and those who are not interested in explicit machine computations at all.
