\ccDefinition
|
|
|
|
This \ccc{AdaptableUnaryFunction} computes the unit part of a given ring
|
|
element.
|
|
|
|
The mathematical definition of unit part is as follows: Two ring elements $a$
|
|
and $b$ are said to be associate if there exists an invertible ring element
|
|
(i.e. a unit) $u$ such that $a = ub$. This defines an equivalence relation.
|
|
We can distinguish exactly one element of every equivalence class as being
|
|
unit normal. Then each element of a ring possesses a factorization into a unit
|
|
(called its unit part) and a unit-normal ring element
|
|
(called its unit normal associate).
|
|
|
|
For the integers, the non-negative numbers are by convention unit normal,
|
|
hence the unit-part of a non-zero integer is its sign. For a \ccc{Field}, every
|
|
non-zero element is a unit and is its own unit part, its unit normal
|
|
associate being one. The unit part of zero is, by convention, one.
