Definition

This AdaptableBinaryFunction computes the \( gcd\) up to a constant factor (utcf) of two polynomials of type PolynomialTraits_d::Polynomial_d.

In case the base ring \( R\) (PolynomialTraits_d::Innermost_coefficient_type) is not a UniqueFactorizationDomain or not a Field the polynomial ring \( R[x_0,\dots,x_{d-1}]\) (PolynomialTraits_d::Polynomial_d) may not possesses greatest common divisors. However, since \( R\) is an integral domain one can consider its quotient field \( Q(R)\) for which \( gcd\)s of polynomials exist.

This functor computes \( gcd\_utcf(f,g) = D * gcd(f,g)\), for some \( D \in R\) such that \( gcd\_utcf(f,g) \in R[x_0,\dots,x_{d-1}]\). Hence, \( gcd\_utcf(f,g)\) may not be a divisor of \( f\) and \( g\) in \( R[x_0,\dots,x_{d-1}]\).
