Induction on polynomials

This file contains lemmas dealing with different flavours of induction on polynomials.

def Polynomial.divX {R : Type u} [Semiring R] (p : Polynomial R) : Polynomial R

divX p returns a polynomial q such that q * X + C (p.coeff 0) = p. It can be used in a semiring where the usual division algorithm is not possible

A property holds for all polynomials of positive degree with coefficients in a semiring R if it holds for

• a * X, with a ∈ R,
• p * X, with p ∈ R[X],
• p + a, with a ∈ R, p ∈ R[X], with appropriate restrictions on each term.

See natDegree_ne_zero_induction_on for a similar statement involving no explicit multiplication.

A property holds for all polynomials of non-zero natDegree with coefficients in a semiring R if it holds for

• p + a, with a ∈ R, p ∈ R[X],
• p + q, with p, q ∈ R[X],
• monomials with nonzero coefficient and non-zero exponent, with appropriate restrictions on each term. Note that multiplication is "hidden" in the assumption on monomials, so there is no explicit multiplication in the statement. See degree_pos_induction_on for a similar statement involving more explicit multiplications.
