EXAMPLES:
sage: R = LaurentSeriesRing(QQ, "x")
sage: R.base_ring()
Rational Field
sage: S = LaurentSeriesRing(GF(17)['x'], 'y')
sage: S
Laurent Series Ring in y over Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over
Finite Field of size 17
sage: S.base_ring()
Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Finite Field of size 17
EXAMPLES:
sage: R = LaurentSeriesRing(QQ, 'x'); R
Laurent Series Ring in x over Rational Field
sage: x = R.0
sage: g = 1 - x + x^2 - x^4 +O(x^8); g
1 - x + x^2 - x^4 + O(x^8)
sage: g = 10*x^(-3) + 2006 - 19*x + x^2 - x^4 +O(x^8); g
10*x^-3 + 2006 - 19*x + x^2 - x^4 + O(x^8)
You can also use more mathematical notation when the base is a field:
sage: Frac(QQ[['x']])
Laurent Series Ring in x over Rational Field
sage: Frac(GF(5)['y'])
Fraction Field of Univariate Polynomial Ring in y over Finite Field of size 5
Here the fraction field is not just the Laurent series ring, so you can’t use the Frac notation to make the Laurent series ring.
sage: Frac(ZZ[['t']])
Fraction Field of Power Series Ring in t over Integer Ring
Laurent series rings are determined by their variable and the base ring, and are globally unique.
sage: K = Qp(5, prec = 5)
sage: L = Qp(5, prec = 200)
sage: R.<x> = LaurentSeriesRing(K)
sage: S.<y> = LaurentSeriesRing(L)
sage: R is S
False
sage: T.<y> = LaurentSeriesRing(Qp(5,prec=200))
sage: S is T
True
sage: W.<y> = LaurentSeriesRing(Qp(5,prec=199))
sage: W is T
False
Univariate Laurent Series Ring
EXAMPLES:
sage: K, q = LaurentSeriesRing(CC, 'q').objgen(); K
Laurent Series Ring in q over Complex Field with 53 bits of precision
sage: loads(K.dumps()) == K
True
Coerces the element x into this Laurent series ring.
INPUT:
EXAMPLES:
sage: R.<u> = LaurentSeriesRing(Qp(5, 10))
sage: S.<t> = LaurentSeriesRing(RationalField())
sage: print R(t + t^2 + O(t^3))
(1 + O(5^10))*u + (1 + O(5^10))*u^2 + O(u^3)
Note that coercing an element into its own parent just produces that element again (since Laurent series are immutable):
sage: u is R(u)
True
Rational functions are accepted:
sage: I = sqrt(-1)
sage: K.<I> = QQ[I]
sage: P.<t> = PolynomialRing(K)
sage: L.<u> = LaurentSeriesRing(QQ[I])
sage: L((t*I)/(t^3+I*2*t))
1/2 + 1/4*I*u^2 - 1/8*u^4 - 1/16*I*u^6 + 1/32*u^8 +
1/64*I*u^10 - 1/128*u^12 - 1/256*I*u^14 + 1/512*u^16 +
1/1024*I*u^18 + O(u^20)
sage: L(t*I) / L(t^3+I*2*t)
1/2 + 1/4*I*u^2 - 1/8*u^4 - 1/16*I*u^6 + 1/32*u^8 +
1/64*I*u^10 - 1/128*u^12 - 1/256*I*u^14 + 1/512*u^16 +
1/1024*I*u^18 + O(u^20)
Return canonical coercion of x into self.
Rings that canonically coerce to this power series ring R:
If this is the Laurent series ring , return the
power series ring
.
