class GRSGuruswamiSudanDecoder(Decoder):
    r"""
    The Guruswami-Sudan list-decoding algorithm for decoding Generalized
    Reed-Solomon codes.

    The Guruswami-Sudan algorithm is a polynomial time algorithm to decode
    beyond half the minimum distance of the code. It can decode up to the
    Johnson radius which is `n - \sqrt(n(n-d))`, where `n, d` is the length,
    respectively minimum distance of the RS code. See [GS1999]_ for more details.
    It is a list-decoder meaning that it returns a list of all closest codewords
    or their corresponding message polynomials. Note that the output of the
    ``decode_to_code`` and ``decode_to_message`` methods are therefore lists.

    The algorithm has two free parameters, the list size and the multiplicity,
    and these determine how many errors the method will correct: generally,
    higher decoding radius requires larger values of these parameters. To decode
    all the way to the Johnson radius, one generally needs values in the order
    of `O(n^2)`, while decoding just one error less requires just `O(n)`.

    This class has static methods for computing choices of parameters given the
    decoding radius or vice versa.

    The Guruswami-Sudan consists of two computationally intensive steps:
    Interpolation and Root finding, either of which can be completed in multiple
    ways. This implementation allows choosing the sub-algorithms among currently
    implemented possibilities, or supplying your own.

    INPUT:

    - ``code`` -- A code associated to this decoder.

    - ``tau`` -- (default: ``None``) an integer, the number of errors one wants the
      Guruswami-Sudan algorithm to correct.

    - ``parameters`` -- (default: ``None``) a pair of integers, where:
        - the first integer is the multiplicity parameter, and
        - the second integer is the list size parameter.

    - ``interpolation_alg`` -- (default: ``None``) the interpolation algorithm
      that will be used. The following possibilities are currently available:

        * ``"LinearAlgebra"`` -- uses a linear system solver.
        * ``"LeeOSullivan"`` -- uses Lee O'Sullivan method based on row reduction of a matrix
        * ``None`` -- one of the above will be chosen based on the size of the
          code and the parameters.

      You can also supply your own function to perform the interpolation. See
      NOTE section for details on the signature of this function.

    - ``root_finder`` -- (default: ``None``) the rootfinding algorithm that will
      be used. The following possibilities are currently available:

        * ``"Alekhnovich"`` -- uses Alekhnovich's algorithm.

        * ``"RothRuckenstein"`` -- uses Roth-Ruckenstein algorithm.

        * ``None`` -- one of the above will be chosen based on the size of the
          code and the parameters.

      You can also supply your own function to perform the interpolation. See
      NOTE section for details on the signature of this function.

    .. NOTE::

        One has to provide either ``tau`` or ``parameters``. If neither are given,
        an exception will be raised.

        If one provides a function as ``root_finder``, its signature has to be:
        ``my_rootfinder(Q, maxd=default_value, precision=default_value)``. `Q`
        will be given as an element of `F[x][y]`. The function must return the
        roots as a list of polynomials over a univariate polynomial ring. See
        :meth:`roth_ruckenstein_root_finder` for an example.

        If one provides a function as ``interpolation_alg``, its signature has
        to be: ``my_inter(interpolation_points, tau, s_and_l, wy)``. See
        :meth:`sage.coding.guruswami_sudan.interpolation.gs_interpolation_linalg`
        for an example.

    EXAMPLES::

        sage: C = codes.GeneralizedReedSolomonCode(GF(251).list()[:250], 70)
        sage: D = codes.decoders.GRSGuruswamiSudanDecoder(C, tau = 97)
        sage: D
        Guruswami-Sudan decoder for [250, 70, 181] Reed-Solomon Code over GF(251) decoding 97 errors with parameters (1, 2)

    One can specify multiplicity and list size instead of ``tau``::

        sage: D = codes.decoders.GRSGuruswamiSudanDecoder(C, parameters = (1,2))
        sage: D
        Guruswami-Sudan decoder for [250, 70, 181] Reed-Solomon Code over GF(251) decoding 97 errors with parameters (1, 2)

    One can pass a method as ``root_finder`` (works also for ``interpolation_alg``)::

        sage: from sage.coding.guruswami_sudan.gs_decoder import roth_ruckenstein_root_finder
        sage: rf = roth_ruckenstein_root_finder
        sage: D = codes.decoders.GRSGuruswamiSudanDecoder(C, parameters = (1,2), root_finder = rf)
        sage: D
        Guruswami-Sudan decoder for [250, 70, 181] Reed-Solomon Code over GF(251) decoding 97 errors with parameters (1, 2)

    If one wants to use the native Sage algorithms for the root finding step,
    one can directly pass the string given in the ``Input`` block of this class.
    This works for ``interpolation_alg`` as well::


        sage: D = codes.decoders.GRSGuruswamiSudanDecoder(C, parameters = (1,2), root_finder="RothRuckenstein")
        sage: D
        Guruswami-Sudan decoder for [250, 70, 181] Reed-Solomon Code over GF(251) decoding 97 errors with parameters (1, 2)

    Actually, we can construct the decoder from ``C`` directly::

        sage: D = C.decoder("GuruswamiSudan", tau = 97)
        sage: D
        Guruswami-Sudan decoder for [250, 70, 181] Reed-Solomon Code over GF(251) decoding 97 errors with parameters (1, 2)

        Returns whether input parameters satisfy the governing equation of
        Guruswami-Sudan.

        See [Nie2013]_ page 49, definition 3.3 and proposition 3.4 for details.

        INPUT:

        - ``tau`` -- an integer, number of errors one expects Guruswami-Sudan algorithm
          to correct
        - ``s`` -- an integer, multiplicity parameter of Guruswami-Sudan algorithm
        - ``l`` -- an integer, list size parameter
        - ``C`` -- (default: ``None``) a :class:`GeneralizedReedSolomonCode`
        - ``n_k`` -- (default: ``None``) a tuple of integers, respectively the
          length and the dimension of the :class:`GeneralizedReedSolomonCode`

        .. NOTE::

            One has to provide either ``C`` or ``(n, k)``. If none or both are
            given, an exception will be raised.
