- galois.Poly.reverse() Poly
Returns the \(d\)-th reversal \(x^d f(\frac{1}{x})\) of the polynomial \(f(x)\) with degree \(d\).
- Returns:¶
The \(n\)-th reversal \(x^n f(\frac{1}{x})\).
Notes¶
For a polynomial \(f(x) = a_d x^d + a_{d-1} x^{d-1} + \dots + a_1 x + a_0\) with degree \(d\), the \(d\)-th reversal is equivalent to reversing the coefficients.
\[\textrm{rev}_d f(x) = x^d f(x^{-1}) = a_0 x^d + a_{1} x^{d-1} + \dots + a_{d-1} x + a_d\]Examples¶
