I'm VERY new to SageMath, and I'm having trouble understanding how polynomial rings work in this language... I have the following code:

sage: F = PolynomialRing(GF(3),'x'); x = F.gen()
sage: S = F.quotient(x^2,'a'); a = S.gen()

I'm trying to find solutions to the following matrix equation:

sage: var('d1,d2,d3')
sage: var('r1,r2,r3')
sage: laplacian = matrix([[d1, -1, 0], [-1, d2, -1], [0, -1, d3]])
sage: rstructure = laplacian.solve_right(vector([0,0,0]))

Now here is the caveat: I want the solutions of rstructure to only be elements of the quotient ring I've defined as S. If you've gotten this far, I'll boil down my main questions below:

(1) What are x=F.gen() and a=S.gen() doing?

(2) I want to see all the possible solutions of r_i, d_i that satisfy the matrix equation with the condition that they are elements of S (the quotient ring that I've defined earlier).

(3) If it is not clear, "rstructure" is an element of (F_3[x]/< x^2 >)^3. What I'm particularly interested in are solutions in (F_p[x])^3. Is computing this even possible for a given prime p?

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Hope to figure this out soon.

Firstly, F = PolynomialRing(GF(3),'x') defines a polynomial ring F in one variable, where the variable is internally named 'x'. To access the variable, the generator of the ring, you use F.gen(); it is natural to assign it to a variable x, i.e. x = F.gen(). A convenient shorthand notation for use in Sage scripts/notebooks (but not usable in Python .py files) is F.<x> = PolynomialRing(GF(3),'x'); Sage's pre-parser expands this to (pretty much) the two aforementioned definitions of F and x.

To approach your problem you can do something like this:

p = 3
A.<d1a,d1b,d2a,d2b,d3a,d3b,r1a,r1b,r2a,r2b,r3a,r3b> = PolynomialRing(GF(p))
R.<X> = PolynomialRing(A)
S.<x> = R.quotient(X^2)
laplacian = matrix([[d1a*x + d1b, -1, 0], [-1, d2a*x + d2b, -1], [0, -1, d3a*x + d3b]])
r = vector([r1a*x + r1b, r2a*x + r2b, r3a*x + r3b])
err_vec = laplacian*r
err_polys = sum((entry.lift().coefficients() for entry in err_vec), [])
I = A.ideal(err_polys)

Here I manually expanded d1 = d1a*x + d1b etc.

To get all pairs of solutions (d, r) you can do e.g.:

sage: J = I + A.ideal([v^p - v for v in A.gens()])
sage: J.variety()
[{r3b: 0, r3a: 0, r2b: 0, r2a: 0, r1b: 0, r1a: 0, d3b: 0, d3a: 0, d2b: 0, d2a: 0, d1b: 0, d1a: 0},
 {r3b: 0, r3a: 0, r2b: 0, r2a: 0, r1b: 0, r1a: 0, d3b: 0, d3a: 0, d2b: 0, d2a: 0, d1b: 0, d1a: 2},
 {r3b: 0, r3a: 0, r2b: 0, r2a: 0, r1b: 0, r1a: 0, d3b: 0, d3a: 0, d2b: 0, d2a: 0, d1b: 0, d1a: 1},
  ...
 {r3b: 1, r3a: 1, r2b: 1, r2a: 1, r1b: 1, r1a: 0, d3b: 1, d3a: 0, d2b: 2, d2a: 2, d1b: 1, d1a: 1},
 {r3b: 1, r3a: 1, r2b: 1, r2a: 1, r1b: 1, r1a: 2, d3b: 1, d3a: 0, d2b: 2, d2a: 1, d1b: 1, d1a: 2},
 {r3b: 1, r3a: 1, r2b: 1, r2a: 1, r1b: 1, r1a: 1, d3b: 1, d3a: 0, d2b: 2, d2a: 0, d1b: 1, d1a: 0}]
sage: len(J.variety())
1485

To get more insight into the solution set you can look at the primary decomposition:

sage: I.associated_primes()

... or the intersection of those components with d-space:

sage: [P.elimination_ideal(A.gens()[6:]).gens() for P in I.associated_primes()]
[[0],
 [d1b*d2b*d3b - d1b - d3b],
 [d1b*d2b*d3b - d1b - d3b, d1b*d2b*d3a + d1b*d2a*d3b + d1a*d2b*d3b - d1a - d3a, d1b*d2a*d3b^2 + d1a*d2b*d3b^2 + d1b*d3a - d1a*d3b, d1a*d2b^2*d3b^2 + d1a*d2b*d3b + d2a*d3b^2 + d1a + d3a]]

This shows r = (0, 0, 0) is always a solution for any d (as expected), and there are other solutions when laplacian.determinant() vanishes, and other solutions when only the constant part of laplacian.determinant() vanishes (d1b*d2b*d3b - d1b - d3b = 0).

We can count the solutions with these properties, as a double check:

sage: len([p for p in J.variety() if all(p[v] == 0 for v in A.gens()[6:])])
729
sage: len([p for p in J.variety() if not all(p[v] == 0 for v in A.gens()[6:]) and laplacian.determinant().lift().map_coefficients(lambda c: c.subs(p)) == 0])
504
sage: len([p for p in J.variety() if not all(p[v] == 0 for v in A.gens()[6:]) and laplacian.determinant().lift().map_coefficients(lambda c: c.subs(p)) != 0 and (d1b*d2b*d3b - d1b - d3b).subs(p) == 0])
252
sage: 729 + 504 + 252
1485

That's very cool! Unfortunately, I'm starting to realize there are consequences to finding solutions over quotient rings (there could be zero-divisors present, the polynomial I'm modding out by could be irreducible leading to F_p[x]/ < g(x) > being a field, etc.)

Rather than looking at solutions over F_p[x]/< x^n >, can I find solutions over F_p[x] but with the condition that deg(r_i) < n and deg(d_i) < n?

Again, I'm EXTREMELY new to using SageMath (and Python for that matter). It's pretty frustrating. Thanks again for your help.

First, x=F.gen() defines x as the generating polynomial variable of the ring F. That is, any linear combinations of nonnegative powers of x will define a polynomial from F. Alternatively, you can define x and F via F.<x> = PolynomialRing(GF(3)) or F.<x> = GF(3)[], or just x via x = polygen(GF(3)).

Second, var('d1,d2,d3') defines d1, d2, d3 as generic symbolic variables. It may be not a good idea to simultaneously work with polynomial and symbolic variables unless there is a clear need to do so. Your equations are polynomial in nature and so it's better to stick with variables over S:

K.<d1,d2,d3,r1,r2,r3> = S[]

Third, your equations are quadratic over $d_i,r_i$, thus you cannot solve them using linear algebra. The (lhs of) equations can be obtained via:

eq = ( matrix([[d1, -1, 0], [-1, d2, -1], [0, -1, d3]]) * vector([r1,r2,r3]) ).list()
print(eq)

which gives [d1*r1 - r2, d2*r2 - r1 - r3, d3*r3 - r2]. All possible solutions form the variety of the ideal:

J = K.ideal( eq )

which gives Ideal (d1*r1 - r2, d2*r2 - r1 - r3, d3*r3 - r2) of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in d1, d2, d3, r1, r2, r3 over Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in a over Finite Field of size 3 with modulus x^2. For 0-dimensional ideals over fields, one can get all elements of the variety by calling J.variety().

Unfortunately, you cannot do much with ideals over non-field rings (which is S), but in the case of small underlying ring you can get all the solutions using bruteforce. Here is a complete code:

F = PolynomialRing(GF(3),'x'); x = F.gen()
S = F.quotient(x^2,'a'); a = S.gen()

for d1,d2,d3,r1,r2,r3 in Tuples(S,6):
    r = vector([r1,r2,r3])
    if r!=0 and matrix([[d1, -1, 0], [-1, d2, -1], [0, -1, d3]]) * r == 0:
        print([d1,d2,d3],[r1,r2,r3])

which will prints all 756 solutions with nonzero vector (r1,r2,r3).
