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 a Semiring R at an element x of an AddCommMonoid S that has natural number powers and an R-action.
• smeval.linearMap: the smeval function as an R-linear map, when S is an R-module.
• smeval.algebraMap: the smeval function as an R-algebra map, when S is an R-algebra.

Main results

• smeval_monomial: monomials evaluate as we expect.
• smeval_add, smeval_smul: linearity of evaluation, given an R-module.
• smeval_mul, smeval_comp: multiplicativity of evaluation, given power-associativity.
• eval₂_smulOneHom_eq_smeval, leval_eq_smeval.linearMap, aeval_eq_smeval, etc.: comparisons

TODO

• smeval_neg and smeval_intCast for R a ring and S an AddCommGroup.
• Nonunital evaluation for polynomials with vanishing constant term for Pow S ℕ+ (different file?)

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.
