3.3.4 Coefficient rings
SINGULAR supports coefficient ranges which are not fields, i.e. the
integers
and the finite rings
for a number n . These
coefficient rings were implemented in SINGULAR 3.0.5 and at the moment
only limited functionality is available.
p-adic numbers
The p-adic integers
are the projective limit of the finite
rings
for n to infinity. Therefore, computations in this ring
can be approximated by computations in
for large n .
