 Post subject: Converting Polynomial Strings into Singular Polynomials
PostPosted: Thu Feb 28, 2019 5:26 pm 
I'm using Singular via Sage Math, and attempting to generate random polynomials and have Singular calculate their Milnor numbers. The issue arises when I attempt to convert polynomials generated by my algorithm into ones Singular recognizes, some get through successfully while others produce an error.

This is part of a larger piece of code, however this is the error producing step and the error can be replicated outside of the rest of the code. If seeing the rest of the code would be useful, I can provide it.

Working:

Code:
singular('-1s3-8g5-8g5')
singular('-5s5+9v5+9m8')
singular('-4p5+1l9+1l9')


Non-Working:

Code:
singular('+4j2-6a7-1e5')
singular('+7f7-7w5+1d8')


Error (When a Non-Working Polynomial is Entered):

Code:
sage: R = singular.ring(0,'(j,a,e)','ds')
sage: singular('+4j2-6a7-1e5')

I am using the Sage Interpreter Interfaces Interface to Singular¶ documentation page.

This issue was fixed by moving the first term of the polynomial to the end of the polynomial.

The reason:
Singular has a unary -, but no unary +.
Therefore
Code:
-2x5
is a valid polynomial,
while
Code:
+2x5
is not.
