6.1 Limitations
has the following limitations:
-
the characteristic of a prime field must be less than or equal to 2147483647 (2^31)
(the characteristic of a prime field in the factory routines must be less than 536870912 (2^29))
(the characteristic of a prime field in the NTL routines must be less than NTL_SP_BOUND (2^30) on 32bit
machines - This is always the case since currently, only factory uses NTL.)
-
the number of elements in GF(p,n) must be less than 65536
-
the (weighted) degree of a monomial must be less or equal than 2147483647
-
the rank of any free module
must be less or equal than 2147483647
-
the maximal allowed exponent of a ring variable
depends on the ordering of the ring and is at least 32767.
See also Monomial orderings for setting other limits.
-
the precision of long floating point numbers (for ground field
real )
must be less or equal than 32767
-
integers (of type
int ) have the limited range
from -2147483648 to 2147483647
-
floating point numbers (type
number from field real ) have
a limited range which is machine dependent. A typical range is -1.0e-38
to 1.0e+38. The string representation of overflow and underflow is
machine dependent, as well. For example "Inf " on Linux, or
"+.+00e+00 " on HPUX.
Their input syntax is given by scanf , but must start with a digit.
-
floating point numbers (type
number from field real with a precision p larger then 3) use internally mpf_set_default_prec(3.5*p+1) .
Their input syntax is given by mpf_set_str from GMP, but must start with a digit.
-
the length of an identifier is unlimited but
listvar
displays only the first 20 characters
-
statements may not contain more than 10000 tokens
-
tokens (i.e. strings, numbers, ...) may not be longer than 16382 characters
-
All input to must be 7-bit clean, i.e. special characters like the
the German Umlaute (ä, ö, etc.), or the French accent characters may
neither appear as input to , nor in libraries or procedure
definitions.
