sage.rings.bernmm.bernmm_bern_modp(p, k)

Computes \(B_k \mod p\), where \(B_k\) is the k-th Bernoulli number.

If \(B_k\) is not \(p\)-integral, returns -1.

INPUT:

p – a prime k – non-negative integer

COMPLEXITY:

Pretty much linear in $p$.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.bernmm import bernmm_bern_modp

sage: bernoulli(0) % 5, bernmm_bern_modp(5, 0)
(1, 1)
sage: bernoulli(1) % 5, bernmm_bern_modp(5, 1)
(2, 2)
sage: bernoulli(2) % 5, bernmm_bern_modp(5, 2)
(1, 1)
sage: bernoulli(3) % 5, bernmm_bern_modp(5, 3)
(0, 0)
sage: bernoulli(4), bernmm_bern_modp(5, 4)
(-1/30, -1)
sage: bernoulli(18) % 5, bernmm_bern_modp(5, 18)
(4, 4)
sage: bernoulli(19) % 5, bernmm_bern_modp(5, 19)
(0, 0)

sage: p = 10000019; k = 1000
sage: bernoulli(k) % p

sage: bernmm_bern_modp(p, k)

sage.rings.bernmm.bernmm_bern_rat(k, num_threads=1)

Computes k-th Bernoulli number using a multimodular algorithm. (Wrapper for bernmm library.)

INPUT:

  • k – non-negative integer
  • num_threads – integer >= 1, number of threads to use

COMPLEXITY:

Pretty much quadratic in $k$. See the paper “A multimodular algorithm for computing Bernoulli numbers”, David Harvey, 2008, for more details.

sage: from sage.rings.bernmm import bernmm_bern_rat

sage: bernmm_bern_rat(0)

sage: bernmm_bern_rat(1)

sage: bernmm_bern_rat(2)

sage: bernmm_bern_rat(3)
