Towards Verified Polynomial Factorisation

Symbolic Computation 2024-09-17 v1

Abstract

Computer algebra systems are really good at factoring polynomials, i.e. writing f as a product of irreducible factors. It is relatively easy to verify that we have a factorisation, but verifying that these factors are irreducible is a much harder problem. This paper reports work-in-progress to do such verification in Lean.
