Decompose
Decompose
[
poly
,
x
]
decomposes a polynomial, if possible, into a composition of simpler polynomials.
MORE INFORMATION
Decompose
gives a list of the polynomials
P
i
which can be composed as
to give the original polynomial.
The set of polynomials
P
i
is not necessarily unique.
Decomposition is an operation which is independent of polynomial factorization.
