PowerListQ[f]
gives True if the list representing the powers of a primitive element of the field is used to do field arithmetic, and False otherwise.


PowerListQ
PowerListQ[f]
gives True if the list representing the powers of a primitive element of the field is used to do field arithmetic, and False otherwise.
Details and Options
- To use PowerListQ, you first need to load the Finite Fields Package using Needs["FiniteFields`"].
- PowerListQ is returned unevaluated if f is not a field.
- Setting PowerListQ[f]=True computes the PowerList of f if it does not yet exist, and enables arithmetic based on FieldExp and FieldInd.
- Setting PowerListQ[f]=False disables field arithmetic based on FieldExp and FieldInd.
