Isolate Real Roots of Real Polynomials

AUTHOR:

- Carl Witty (2007-09-19): initial version

This is an implementation of real root isolation.  That is, given a
polynomial with exact real coefficients, we compute isolating intervals
for the real roots of the polynomial. (Polynomials with
integer, rational, or algebraic real coefficients are supported.)

We convert the polynomials into the Bernstein basis, and then use
de Casteljau's algorithm and Descartes' rule of signs on the Bernstein
basis polynomial (using interval arithmetic) to locate the roots. The
algorithm is similar to that in "A Descartes Algorithm for Polynomials
with Bit-Stream Coefficients", by Eigenwillig, Kettner, Krandick, Mehlhorn,
Schmitt, and Wolpert, but has three crucial optimizations over the
algorithm in that paper:

- Precision reduction: at certain points in the computation, we discard the
  low-order bits of the coefficients, widening the intervals.

- Degree reduction: at certain points in the computation, we find lower-degree
  polynomials that are approximately equal to our high-degree polynomial over
  the region of interest.

- When the intervals are too wide to continue (either because of a too-low
  initial precision, or because of precision or degree reduction), and we need
  to restart with higher precision, we recall which regions have already been
  proven not to have any roots and do not examine them again.

The best description of the algorithms used (other than this source
code itself) is in the slides for my Sage Days 4 talk, currently available
from https://wiki.sagemath.org/days4schedule .

# TODO:
# These things would almost certainly improve the speed:
# * Use Anatole Ruslanov's register tiling versions of de Casteljau's
# algorithms when doing de Casteljau splitting at 1/2 in the integer case.
# * Use a register tiling version of de Casteljau's algorithm for the
# floating-point case...if you have n free FP registers (after allocating
# registers to hold r and 1-r) you should be able to do about n rows at
# once.
# * Use vectorized FP instructions for de Casteljau's algorithm.
# Using SSE2 to do 2 FP operations at once should be twice as fast.
# * Faster degree elevation
# Currently, when bernstein_expand expands from a degree-d1 to a
# degree-d2 polynomial, it does O(d2^2 - d1^2) operations.  I
# have thought of (but not implemented) an approach that takes
# O(d1*d2) operations, which should be much faster when d1 is 30
# and d2 is 1000.
# Basically, the idea is to compute the d1 derivatives of the polynomial
# at x=0.  This can be done exactly, in O(d1^2) operations.  Then
# lift the d1'th derivative (a constant polynomial) to a polynomial of
# formal degree d2-d1 (trivial; the coefficients are just d2-d1+1 copies
# of the derivative).  Then, compute the integral of that polynomial
# d1 times, using the computed derivatives to give the constant offset.
# (Computing the integral in Bernstein form involves divisions; these can
# be done ahead of time, to the derivatives at x=0.)
# The only tricky bit is tracking the error bounds and making sure you
# use appropriate precisions at various parts of the computation.

# These things are interesting ideas that may or may not help:
# * Partial degree reduction
# Build a new subclass of interval_bernstein_polynomial, which
# represents a polynomial as the sum of several
# interval_bernstein_polynomial_integer (of different degrees).
# Suppose you have a degree-1000 polynomial with 2000-bit coefficients.
# When you try degree reduction, you get a degree-30 polynomial with
# 2000-bit coefficients; but you get 300 bits of error.
# Instead of just using the degree-30 polynomial and accepting the
# loss of 300 bits of precision, you could represent the reduced polynomial
# as the sum of a degree-30 polynomial with 2000-bit coefficients and
# a degree-1000 polynomial with 300-bit coefficients.  The combined
# polynomial should still be much cheaper to work with than the original.
# * Faster degree reduction
# Perhaps somebody clever can figure out a way to do degree reduction
# that doesn't involve matrix inversion, so that degree reduction can
# target degrees larger than 30.
# * Better heuristics
# ** Better degree reduction heuristics
# When should we degree reduce?  What degrees should be targeted?
# ** Better precision reduction heuristics
# ** Better split point selection
# Currently we attempt to split at 1/2, and then at a random offset.
# We do not look at the current coefficients at all to try to select
# a good split point.  Would it be worthwhile to do so?  (For instance,
# it's a standard result that the polynomial in the region is bounded
# by the convex hull of the coefficients.)
# * Better initial transformation into Bernstein form
# If a polynomial has roots which are very close to 0, or very large,
# it may be better to rescale the roots (using a transformation like
# p -> p(1000*x)).  This can be done as part of the initial transformation
# into Bernstein form.
# If a polynomial has some roots which are very close to 0, and also
# some roots which are very large, it might be better to isolate the roots
# in two groups.
# * More kinds of interval_bernstein_polynomial
# Currently we have arbitrary-precision GMP coefficients or double-precision
# floats.  Would choices between these extremes help?  (double-double?
# quad-double?  fixed-precision multi-word integer arithmetic?)
# * Currently, some of our competitors are faster than this algorithm
# for polynomials that are "easy" in some way.  (This algorithm
# seems to be vastly faster than everything else for "hard" polynomials.)
# Maybe there is a way to start out using another algorithm
# and then switch over to this algorithm once the polynomial
# is determined to be hard.
# * standard optimization
# There's probably some more to be gained by just running the profiler
# and optimizing individual functions.  (To use more Cython features, for
# instance.)

# Extra features:
# * Specify a minimal island width: once islands are this narrow,
# stop even if roots are not isolated.
# * Do some sort of inexact version, for inexact input polynomials.
# (For example, given a polynomial with (non-point) interval coefficients,
# give a set of roots such that each root is guaranteed to be a root
# of some polynomial in the set represented by the interval polynomial.
# This may be vastly faster than the exact calculations carried out
# by this algorithm!  Is it enough faster to be faster than, say,
# Pari's floating-point algorithms?)

cdef class interval_bernstein_polynomial:
    r"""
    An interval_bernstein_polynomial is an approximation to an exact
    polynomial.  This approximation is in the form of a Bernstein
    polynomial (a polynomial given as coefficients over a Bernstein
    basis) with interval coefficients.

    The Bernstein basis of degree n over the region [a .. b] is the
    set of polynomials

    .. MATH::

      \binom{n}{k} (x-a)^k (b-x)^{n-k} / (b-a)^n

    for `0 \le k \le n`.

    A degree-n interval Bernstein polynomial P with its region [a .. b] can
    represent an exact polynomial p in two different ways: it can
    "contain" the polynomial or it can "bound" the polynomial.

    We say that P contains p if, when p is represented as a degree-n
    Bernstein polynomial over [a .. b], its coefficients are contained
    in the corresponding interval coefficients of P.  For instance,
    [0.9 .. 1.1]*x^2 (which is a degree-2 interval Bernstein polynomial
    over [0 .. 1]) contains x^2.

    We say that P bounds p if, for all a <= x <= b, there exists a
    polynomial p' contained in P such that p(x) == p'(x).  For instance,
    [0 .. 1]*x is a degree-1 interval Bernstein polynomial which bounds
    x^2 over [0 .. 1].

    If P contains p, then P bounds p; but the converse is not necessarily
    true.  In particular, if n < m, it is possible for a degree-n interval
    Bernstein polynomial to bound a degree-m polynomial; but it cannot
    contain the polynomial.

    In the case where P bounds p, we maintain extra information, the
    "slope error".  We say that P (over [a .. b]) bounds p with a
    slope error of E (where E is an interval) if there is a polynomial
    p' contained in P such that the derivative of (p - p') is bounded
    by E in the range [a .. b].  If P bounds p with a slope error of 0
    then P contains p.

    (Note that "contains" and "bounds" are not standard terminology;
    I just made them up.)

    Interval Bernstein polynomials are useful in finding real roots
    because of the following properties:

    - Given an exact real polynomial p, we can compute an interval Bernstein
      polynomial over an arbitrary region containing p.

    - Given an interval Bernstein polynomial P over [a .. c], where a < b < c,
      we can compute interval Bernstein polynomials P1 over [a .. b] and P2
      over [b .. c], where P1 and P2 contain (or bound) all polynomials that P
      contains (or bounds).

    - Given a degree-n interval Bernstein polynomial P over [a .. b], and m <
      n, we can compute a degree-m interval Bernstein polynomial P' over [a ..
      b] that bounds all polynomials that P bounds.

    - It is sometimes possible to prove that no polynomial bounded by P over [a
      .. b] has any roots in [a .. b].  (Roughly, this is possible when no
      polynomial contained by P has any complex roots near the line segment [a
      .. b], where "near" is defined relative to the length b-a.)

    - It is sometimes possible to prove that every polynomial bounded by P over
      [a .. b] with slope error E has exactly one root in [a .. b].  (Roughly,
      this is possible when every polynomial contained by P over [a .. b] has
      exactly one root in [a .. b], there are no other complex roots near the
      line segment [a .. b], and every polynomial contained in P has a
      derivative which is bounded away from zero over [a .. b] by an amount
      which is large relative to E.)

    - Starting from a sufficiently precise interval Bernstein polynomial, it is
      always possible to split it into polynomials which provably have 0 or 1
      roots (as long as your original polynomial has no multiple real roots).

    So a rough outline of a family of algorithms would be:

    - Given a polynomial p, compute a region [a .. b] in which any real roots
      must lie.
    - Compute an interval Bernstein polynomial P containing p over [a .. b].
    - Keep splitting P until you have isolated all the roots.  Optionally,
      reduce the degree or the precision of the interval Bernstein polynomials
      at intermediate stages (to reduce computation time).  If this seems not
      to be working, go back and try again with higher precision.

    Obviously, there are many details to be worked out to turn this
    into a full algorithm, like:

    - What initial precision is selected for computing P?
    - How do you decide when to reduce the degree of intermediate polynomials?
    - How do you decide when to reduce the precision of intermediate
      polynomials?
    - How do you decide where to split the interval Bernstein polynomial
      regions?
    - How do you decide when to give up and start over with higher precision?

    Each set of answers to these questions gives a different algorithm
    (potentially with very different performance characteristics), but all of
    them can use this ``interval_bernstein_polynomial`` class as their basic
    building block.

    To save computation time, all coefficients in an
    ``interval_bernstein_polynomial`` share the same interval width.
    (There is one exception: when creating an ``interval_bernstein_polynomial``,
    the first and last coefficients can be marked as "known positive"
    or "known negative".  This has some of the same effect as having
    a (potentially) smaller interval width for these two coefficients,
    although it does not affect de Casteljau splitting.)
    To allow for widely varying coefficient magnitudes, all
    coefficients in an interval_bernstein_polynomial are scaled
    by `2^n` (where `n` may be positive, negative, or zero).

    There are two representations for interval_bernstein_polynomials,
    integer and floating-point. These are the two subclasses of
    this class; ``interval_bernstein_polynomial`` itself is an abstract
    class.

    ``interval_bernstein_polynomial`` and its subclasses are not expected
    to be used outside this file.

    def variations(self):
        """
        Consider a polynomial (written in either the normal power basis
        or the Bernstein basis).  Take its list of coefficients, omitting
        zeroes.  Count the number of positions in the list where the
        sign of one coefficient is opposite the sign of the next coefficient.

        This count is the number of sign variations of the polynomial.
        According to Descartes' rule of signs, the number of real
        roots of the polynomial (counted with multiplicity) in a
        certain interval is always less than or equal to the number of
        sign variations, and the difference is always even.  (If the
        polynomial is written in the power basis, the region is the
        positive reals; if the polynomial is written in the Bernstein
        basis over a particular region, then we count roots in that region.)

        In particular, a polynomial with no sign variations has no real
        roots in the region, and a polynomial with one sign variation
        has one real root in the region.

        In an interval Bernstein polynomial, we do not necessarily
        know the signs of the coefficients (if some of the coefficient
        intervals contain zero), so the polynomials contained by
        this interval polynomial may not all have the same number
        of sign variations.  However, we can compute a range of

    Given a polynomial in Bernstein form with integer coefficients
    over the region [0 .. 1], and a split point x, use de Casteljau's
    algorithm to give polynomials in Bernstein form over [0 .. x] and
    [x .. 1].

    This function will work for an arbitrary rational split point x, as
    long as 0 < x < 1; but it has specialized code paths that make
    some values of x faster than others.  If x == a/(a + b),
    there are special efficient cases for a==1, b==1, a+b fits in a machine
    word, a+b is a power of 2, a fits in a machine word, b fits in
    a machine word.  The most efficient case is x==1/2.

    Given split points x == a/(a + b) and y == c/(c + d), where
    min(a, b) and min(c, d) fit in the same number of machine words
    and a+b and c+d are both powers of two, then x and y should be
    equally fast split points.

    If use_ints is nonzero, then instead of checking whether numerators
    and denominators fit in machine words, we check whether they fit in
    ints (32 bits, even on 64-bit machines).  This slows things down, but
    allows for identical results across machines.

    INPUT:

    - ``c`` -- vector of coefficients of polynomial in Bernstein form
    - ``c_bitsize`` -- approximate size of coefficients in c (in bits)
    - ``x`` -- rational splitting point; 0 < x < 1

    OUTPUT:

    - ``c1`` -- coefficients of polynomial over range [0 .. x]
    - ``c2`` -- coefficients of polynomial over range [x .. 1]
    - ``err_inc`` -- amount by which error intervals widened

    """
    Given an interval Bernstein polynomial over a particular region
    (assumed to be a (not necessarily proper) subregion of [0 .. 1]),
    and a list of targets, uses de Casteljau's method to compute
    representations of the Bernstein polynomial over each target.
    Uses degree reduction as often as possible while maintaining the
    requested precision.

    Each target is of the form (lgap, ugap, b).  Suppose lgap.region()
    is (l1, l2), and ugap.region() is (u1, u2).  Then we will compute
    an interval Bernstein polynomial over a region [l .. u], where
    l1 <= l <= l2 and u1 <= u <= u2.  (split_for_targets() is free to
    select arbitrary region endpoints within these bounds; it picks
    endpoints which make the computation easier.)  The third component
    of the target, b, is the maximum allowed scale_log2 of the result;
    this is used to decide when degree reduction is allowed.

    The pair (l1, l2) can be replaced by None, meaning [-infinity .. 0];
    or, (u1, u2) can be replaced by None, meaning [1 .. infinity].

    There is another constraint on the region endpoints selected by
    split_for_targets() for a target ((l1, l2), (u1, u2), b).
    We set a size goal g, such that (u - l) <= g * (u1 - l2).
    Normally g is 256/255, but if precise is True, then g is 65536/65535.

    Given the tools we've defined so far, there are many possible root

    what precision to work at when, and when to attempt degree
    reduction.

    Here we implement one particular algorithm, which I call the
    ocean-island algorithm.  We start with an interval Bernstein
    polynomial defined over the region [0 .. 1].  This region is
    the "ocean".  Using de Casteljau's algorithm and Descartes'
    rule of signs, we divide this region into subregions which may
    contain roots, and subregions which are guaranteed not to contain
    roots.  Subregions which may contain roots are "islands"; subregions
    known not to contain roots are "gaps".

    All the real root isolation work happens in class island.  See the
    documentation of that class for more information.

    An island can be told to refine itself until it contains only a
    single root.  This may not succeed, if the island's interval
    Bernstein polynomial does not have enough precision.  The ocean
    basically loops, refining each of its islands, then increasing the
    precision of islands which did not succeed in isolating a single
    root; until all islands are done.

    Increasing the precision of unsuccessful islands is done in a
    single pass using split_for_target(); this means it is possible
    to share work among multiple islands.

    """
    This implements the island portion of my ocean-island root isolation
    algorithm.  See the documentation for class ocean, for more
    information on the overall algorithm.

    Island root refinement starts with a Bernstein polynomial whose
    region is the whole island (or perhaps slightly more than the
    island in certain cases).  There are two subalgorithms; one when
    looking at a Bernstein polynomial covering a whole island (so we
    know that there are gaps on the left and right), and one when
    looking at a Bernstein polynomial covering the left segment of an
    island (so we know that there is a gap on the left, but the right
    is in the middle of an island).  An important invariant of the
    left-segment subalgorithm over the region [l .. r] is that it
    always finds a gap [r0 .. r] ending at its right endpoint.

    Ignoring degree reduction, downscaling (precision reduction), and
    failures to split, the algorithm is roughly:

    Whole island:

    1. If the island definitely has exactly one root, then return.
    2. Split the island in (approximately) half.
    3. If both halves definitely have no roots, then remove this island from
       its doubly-linked list (merging its left and right gaps) and return.
    4. If either half definitely has no roots, then discard that half
       and call the whole-island algorithm with the other half, then return.
    5. If both halves may have roots, then call the left-segment algorithm
       on the left half.
    6. We now know that there is a gap immediately to the left of the
       right half, so call the whole-island algorithm on the right half,
       then return.

    Left segment:

    1. Split the left segment in (approximately) half.
    2. If both halves definitely have no roots, then extend the left gap
       over the segment and return.
    3. If the left half definitely has no roots, then extend the left gap
       over this half and call the left-segment algorithm on the right half,
       then return.
    4. If the right half definitely has no roots, then split the island
       in two, creating a new gap.  Call the whole-island algorithm on the
       left half, then return.
    5. Both halves may have roots.  Call the left-segment algorithm on
       the left half.
    6. We now know that there is a gap immediately to the left of the
       right half, so call the left-segment algorithm on the right half,
       then return.

    Degree reduction complicates this picture only slightly.  Basically,
    we use heuristics to decide when degree reduction might be likely
    to succeed and be helpful; whenever this is the case, we attempt
    degree reduction.

    Precision reduction and split failure add more complications.
    The algorithm maintains a stack of different-precision representations
    of the interval Bernstein polynomial.  The base of the stack
    is at the highest (currently known) precision; each stack entry has
    approximately half the precision of the entry below it.  When we
    do a split, we pop off the top of the stack, split it, then push
    whichever half we're interested in back on the stack (so the
    different Bernstein polynomials may be over different regions).
    When we push a polynomial onto the stack, we may heuristically decide to
    push further lower-precision versions of the same polynomial onto the
    stack.

    In the algorithm above, whenever we say "split in (approximately) half",
    we attempt to split the top-of-stack polynomial using try_split()
    and try_rand_split().  However, these will fail if the sign of the
    polynomial at the chosen split point is unknown (if the polynomial is
    not known to high enough precision, or if the chosen split point
    actually happens to be a root of the polynomial).  If this fails, then
    we discard the top-of-stack polynomial, and try again with the
    next polynomial down (which has approximately twice the precision).
    This next polynomial may not be over the same region; if not, we
    split it using de Casteljau's algorithm to get a polynomial over
    (approximately) the same region first.

    If we run out of higher-precision polynomials (if we empty out the
    entire stack), then we give up on root refinement for this island.
    The ocean class will notice this, provide the island with a
    higher-precision polynomial, and restart root refinement.  Basically
    the only information kept in that case is the lower and upper bounds
    on the island.  Since these are updated whenever we discover a "half"
    (of an island or a segment) that definitely contains no roots, we
    never need to re-examine these gaps.  (We could keep more information.
    For example, we could keep a record of split points that succeeded
    and failed.  However, a split point that failed at lower precision
    is likely to succeed at higher precision, so it's not worth avoiding.
    It could be useful to select split points that are known to succeed,
    but starting from a new Bernstein polynomial over a slightly different
    region, hitting such split points would require de Casteljau splits
    with non-power-of-two denominators, which are much much slower.)

def real_roots(p, bounds=None, seed=None, skip_squarefree=False, do_logging=False, wordsize=32, retval='rational', strategy=None, max_diameter=None):
    """
    Compute the real roots of a given polynomial with exact
    coefficients (integer, rational, and algebraic real coefficients
    are supported).  Returns a list of pairs of a root and its
    multiplicity.

    The root itself can be returned in one of three different ways.
    If retval=='rational', then it is returned as a pair of rationals
    that define a region that includes exactly one root.  If
    retval=='interval', then it is returned as a RealIntervalFieldElement
    that includes exactly one root.  If retval=='algebraic_real', then
    it is returned as an AlgebraicReal.  In the former two cases, all
    the intervals are disjoint.

    An alternate high-level algorithm can be used by selecting
    strategy='warp'.  This affects the conversion into Bernstein
    polynomial form, but still uses the same ocean-island algorithm
    as the default algorithm.  The 'warp' algorithm performs the conversion
    into Bernstein polynomial form much more quickly, but performs
    the rest of the computation slightly slower in some benchmarks.
    The 'warp' algorithm is particularly likely to be helpful for
    low-degree polynomials.

    Part of the algorithm is randomized; the seed parameter gives a seed
    for the random number generator.  (By default, the same
    seed is used for every call, so that results are repeatable.)  The
    random seed may affect the running time, or the exact intervals returned,
    but the results are correct regardless of the seed used.

    The bounds parameter lets you find roots in some proper subinterval of
    the reals; it takes a pair of a rational lower and upper bound
    and only roots within this bound will be found.  Currently, specifying
    bounds does not work if you select strategy='warp', or if you
    use a polynomial with algebraic real coefficients.

    By default, the algorithm will do a squarefree decomposition
    to get squarefree polynomials.  The skip_squarefree parameter
    lets you skip this step.  (If this step is skipped, and the polynomial
    has a repeated real root, then the algorithm will loop forever!
    However, repeated non-real roots are not a problem.)

    For integer and rational coefficients, the squarefree
    decomposition is very fast, but it may be slow for algebraic
    reals.  (It may trigger exact computation, so it might be
    arbitrarily slow.  The only other way that this algorithm might
    trigger exact computation on algebraic real coefficients is that
    it checks the constant term of the input polynomial for equality with
    zero.)

    Part of the algorithm works (approximately) by splitting numbers into
    word-size pieces (that is, pieces that fit into a machine word).
    For portability, this defaults to always selecting pieces suitable
    for a 32-bit machine; the wordsize parameter lets you make choices
    suitable for a 64-bit machine instead.  (This affects the running
    time, and the exact intervals returned, but the results are correct
    on both 32- and 64-bit machines even if the wordsize is chosen "wrong".)

    The precision of the results can be improved (at the expense of time,
    of course) by specifying the max_diameter parameter.  If specified,
    this sets the maximum diameter() of the intervals returned.
    (Sage defines diameter() to be the relative diameter for intervals
    that do not contain 0, and the absolute diameter for intervals
    containing 0.)  This directly affects the results in rational or
    interval return mode; in algebraic_real mode, it increases the
    precision of the intervals passed to the algebraic number package,
    which may speed up some operations on that algebraic real.

    Some logging can be enabled with do_logging=True.  If logging is enabled,
    then the normal values are not returned; instead, a pair of
    the internal context object and a list of all the roots in their
    internal form is returned.

    ALGORITHM: We convert the polynomial into the Bernstein basis, and
    then use de Casteljau's algorithm and Descartes' rule of signs
    (using interval arithmetic) to locate the roots.
