gcd

gcd calculation

Calling Sequence

[pgcd,U]=gcd(p)

Arguments

p

polynomial row vector p=[p1,..,pn] or integer row vector (type equal to 8)

Description

computes the gcd of components of p and a unimodular matrix (with polynomial inverse) U, with minimal degree such that

p*U=[0 ... 0 pgcd]

Examples

//polynomial case
s=poly(0,'s');
p=[s,s*(s+1)^2,2*s^2+s^3];
[pgcd,u]=gcd(p);
p*u

//integer case
V=int32([2^2*3^5, 2^3*3^2,2^2*3^4*5]);
[thegcd,U]=gcd(V)
V*U
