Euclidean domains

This file introduces Euclidean domains and provides the extended Euclidean algorithm. To be precise, a slightly more general version is provided which is sometimes called a transfinite Euclidean domain and differs in the fact that the degree function need not take values in ℕ but can take values in any well-ordered set. Transfinite Euclidean domains were introduced by Motzkin and examples which don't satisfy the classical notion were provided independently by Hiblot and Nagata.

Main definitions

• EuclideanDomain: Defines Euclidean domain with functions quotient and remainder. Instances of Div and Mod are provided, so that one can write a = b * (a / b) + a % b.
• gcd: defines the greatest common divisors of two elements of a Euclidean domain.
• xgcd: given two elements a b : R, xgcd a b defines the pair (x, y) such that x * a + y * b = gcd a b.
• lcm: defines the lowest common multiple of two elements a and b of a Euclidean domain as a * b / (gcd a b)

Main statements

See Algebra.EuclideanDomain.Basic for most of the theorems about Euclidean domains, including Bézout's lemma.

See Algebra.EuclideanDomain.Instances for the fact that ℤ is a Euclidean domain, as is any field.

Notation

≺ denotes the well founded relation on the Euclidean domain, e.g. in the example of the polynomial ring over a field, p ≺ q for polynomials p and q if and only if the degree of p is less than the degree of q.

Implementation details

Instead of working with a valuation, EuclideanDomain is implemented with the existence of a well founded relation r on the integral domain R, which in the example of ℤ would correspond to setting i ≺ j for integers i and j if the absolute value of i is smaller than the absolute value of j.

class EuclideanDomain (R : Type u) extends CommRing R, Nontrivial R : Type u

A EuclideanDomain is a non-trivial commutative ring with a division and a remainder, satisfying b * (a / b) + a % b = a. The definition of a Euclidean domain usually includes a valuation function R → ℕ. This definition is slightly generalised to include a well founded relation r with the property that r (a % b) b, instead of a valuation.

def EuclideanDomain.xgcdAux {R : Type u} [EuclideanDomain R] [DecidableEq R] (r s t r' s' t' : R) : R × R × R

An implementation of the extended GCD algorithm. At each step we are computing a triple (r, s, t), where r is the next value of the GCD algorithm, to compute the greatest common divisor of the input (say x and y), and s and t are the coefficients in front of x and y to obtain r (i.e. r = s * x + t * y). The function xgcdAux takes in two triples, and from these recursively computes the next triple:

xgcdAux (r, s, t) (r', s', t') = xgcdAux (r' % r, s' - (r' / r) * s, t' - (r' / r) * t) (r, s, t)
