Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
rootp (pol, p, s) or evalp (RootOf(pol),p, s)
rootp (pol, p) or evalp(RootOf(pol), p)
pol
-
polynomial with rational coefficients
p
prime number or positive integer
s
(optional) positive integer
This function computes all roots in the given p-adic number field of the polynomial pol.
The parameter s sets the size of the resulting expression, where "size" means the number of terms of the p-adic number which will be printed. If omitted, it defaults to the value of the global variable Digitsp, which is initially assigned the value 10.
See padic[evalp] for an explanation of the representation of p-adic numbers in Maple.
The command with(padic,rootp) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
