void fmpz_poly_factor_init(fmpz_poly_factor_t fac)
Initialises a new factor structure.
void fmpz_poly_factor_init2(fmpz_poly_factor_t fac, slong alloc)
Initialises a new factor structure, providing space for
at least \code{alloc} factors.
void fmpz_poly_factor_realloc(fmpz_poly_factor_t fac, slong alloc)
Reallocates the factor structure to provide space for
precisely \code{alloc} factors.
void fmpz_poly_factor_fit_length(fmpz_poly_factor_t fac, slong len)
Ensures that the factor structure has space for at
least \code{len} factors. This functions takes care
of the case of repeated calls by always at least
doubling the number of factors the structure can hold.
void fmpz_poly_factor_clear(fmpz_poly_factor_t fac)
Releases all memory occupied by the factor structure.

Manipulating factors
*******************************************************************************
void fmpz_poly_factor_set(fmpz_poly_factor_t res, const fmpz_poly_factor_t fac)
Sets \code{res} to the same factorisation as \code{fac}.
void fmpz_poly_factor_insert(fmpz_poly_factor_t fac,
const fmpz_poly_t p, slong e)
Adds the primitive polynomial $p^e$ to the factorisation \code{fac}.
Assumes that $\deg(p) \geq 2$ and $e \neq 0$.
void fmpz_poly_factor_concat(fmpz_poly_factor_t res,
const fmpz_poly_factor_t fac)
Concatenates two factorisations.
This is equivalent to calling \code{fmpz_poly_factor_insert()}
repeatedly with the individual factors of \code{fac}.
Does not support aliasing between \code{res} and \code{fac}.

Prints the entries of \code{fac} to standard output.

void fmpz_poly_factor_squarefree(fmpz_poly_factor_t fac, fmpz_poly_t F)
Takes as input a polynomial $F$ and a freshly initialized factor
structure \code{fac}. Updates \code{fac} to contain a factorization
of $F$ into (not necessarily irreducible) factors that themselves
have no repeated factors. None of the returned factors will have
the same exponent. That is we return $g_i$ and unique $e_i$ such that
\begin{equation*}
F = c \prod_{i} g_i^{e_i}
\end{equation*}
where $c$ is the signed content of $F$ and $\gcd(g_i, g_i') = 1$.
void fmpz_poly_factor_zassenhaus_recombination(fmpz_poly_factor_t
final_fac, const fmpz_poly_factor_t lifted_fac,
const fmpz_poly_t F, const fmpz_t P, slong exp)
Takes as input a factor structure \code{lifted_fac} containing a
squarefree factorization of the polynomial $F \bmod p$. The algorithm
does a brute force search for irreducible factors of $F$ over the
integers, and each factor is raised to the power \code{exp}.
The impact of the algorithm is to augment a factorization of
\code{F^exp} to the factor structure \code{final_fac}.
void _fmpz_poly_factor_zassenhaus(fmpz_poly_factor_t final_fac,
slong exp, fmpz_poly_t f, slong cutoff)
This is the internal wrapper of Zassenhaus.
It will attempt to find a small prime such that $f$ modulo $p$ has
a minimal number of factors. If it cannot find a prime giving less
than \code{cutoff} factors it aborts. Then it decides a $p$-adic
precision to lift the factors to, hensel lifts, and finally calls
Zassenhaus recombination.
Assumes that $\len(f) \geq 2$.
Assumes that $f$ is primitive.
Assumes that the constant coefficient of $f$ is non-zero. Note that
this can be easily achieved by taking out factors of the form $x^k$
before calling this routine.
void fmpz_poly_factor_zassenhaus(fmpz_poly_factor_t final_fac, fmpz_poly_t F)
A wrapper of the Zassenhaus factoring algorithm, which takes as input
any polynomial $F$, and stores a factorization in \code{final_fac}.
The complexity will be exponential in the number of local factors
we find for the components of a squarefree factorization of $F$.
