FieldInd

FieldInd[e]

gives the value of the discrete logarithm of e.

Details and Options

  • To use FieldInd, you first need to load the Finite Fields Package using Needs["FiniteFields`"].
  • With p a primitive element of the field associated with the element e, the value of the discrete logarithm of e is the integer n such that pne.
  • FieldInd is defined only if PowerListQ has been set True for the field.
  • FieldInd[0] gives -.
