Multivariate polynomials over a ring

Many results about polynomials hold when the coefficient ring is a commutative semiring. Some stronger results can be derived when we assume this semiring is a ring.

This file does not define any new operations, but proves some of these stronger results.

Notation

As in other polynomial files, we typically use the notation:

• σ : Type* (indexing the variables)

• R : Type* [CommRing R] (the coefficients)

• s : σ →₀ ℕ, a function from σ to ℕ which is zero away from a finite set. This will give rise to a monomial in MvPolynomial σ R which mathematicians might call X^s

• a : R

• i : σ, with corresponding monomial X i, often denoted X_i by mathematicians

• p : MvPolynomial σ R

instance MvPolynomial.instCommRingMvPolynomial {R : Type u} {σ : Type u_1} [CommRing R] : CommRing (MvPolynomial σ R)
