157 Coprime factorisation algorithm

and

G⁢(s)=M⁢(s)N⁢(s)=M~⁢(1/(1+s))N~⁢(1/(1+s))=P⁢(s)Q⁢(s).

We have shown that 𝐂⁢(x) is the field generated by 𝒮.

Algorithm

1) Write G as a quotient of polynomials with no common zeros.

2) Introduce λ and clear the denominators.

3) Apply the Euclidean algorithm for polynomials.

4) Convert back to the original variables.
