Binary fields represented in the polynomial power basis #
Unlike an arbitrary basis of a Galois field, the power basis of F₂[X]/(f)
connects directly to the uniform coefficient-list programs. This is the field
representation needed for the classical PCP's arithmetic. A self-dual normal
representation and its change-of-basis algorithm remain separate constructions.
Equations

Instances For
A binary field with coefficient bits in the power basis of a monic irreducible polynomial. The basis is specified, rather than chosen by abstract finite-field existence.
Equations

Instances For
Every correctly sized bit string is the canonical representation of its decoded field element. In particular, raw equality tests are faithful.
Correct-width coefficient decoding is evaluation at the quotient's root.
Equality of correctly sized coefficient vectors is equivalent to equality of their evaluations at the irreducible quotient's root.
A coefficient vector defining the lower part of the modulus satisfies the root equation consumed by the arithmetic programs.
