Thanks. I tried it on SMC: sage: K.<sqrt3>=QuadraticField(3) sage: F.<sqrt5>=K.extension(x^2-5) sage: R.<a1,a2,a3,a4,a5> = F[] sage: %time _=(a1+a2+a3+sqrt5*a4+sqrt3*a5)^18 CPU times: user 2.76 s, sys: 12.5 ms, total: 2.77 s Wall time: 2.77 s sage: len(str(_).split("+")) 7315 sage: FF.<a>=F.absolute_field() sage: fsqrt3=FF(F(sqrt3)) sage: fsqrt5=FF(sqrt5) sage: RR.<a1,a2,a3,a4,a5> = FF[] sage: %time _=(a1+a2+a3+fsqrt5*a4+fsqrt3*a5)^18 CPU times: user 320 ms, sys: 0 ns, total: 320 ms Wall time: 320 ms sage: len(str(_).split("+")) 12430 and your approach returns a wrong number of terms, so something is wrong. But it is quite fast. Ondrej -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
