15 prime powers in numerator and denominator, as per

48 A given fraction X/Y with no common factor has a prime factorization
50 X/Y = p1^e1 * p2^e2 * ...
52 The exponents e[i] are positive, negative or zero, being positive when
54 the prime is in the numerator or negative when in the denominator.
55 Those exponents are represented in an integer N by mapping the
56 exponents to non-negative,
57 N = p1^f(e1) * p2^f(e2) * ...
59 f(e) = 2*e if e >= 0
61 = 1-2*e if e < 0
62 f(e) e
64 --- ---
65 0 0
66 1 -1
67 2 1
68 3 -2
69 4 2
70 For example
72 X/Y = 125/7 = 5^3 * 7^(-1)
74 encoded as N = 5^(2*3) * 7^(1-2*(-1)) = 5^6 * 7^1 = 5359375
75 N=3 -> 3^-1 = 1/3
77 N=9 -> 3^1 = 3/1
78 N=27 -> 3^-2 = 1/9
79 N=81 -> 3^2 = 9/1
80 The effect is to distinguish prime factors of the numerator or
82 denominator by odd or even exponents of those primes in N. Since X and
83 Y have no common factor a given prime appears in one and not the other.
84 The oddness or evenness of the p^f() exponent in N can then encode
85 which of the two X or Y it came from.
86 The exponent f(e) in N has term 2*e in both cases, but the exponents
88 from Y are reduced by 1. This can be expressed in the following form.
89 Going from X,Y to N doesn't need to factorize X, only Y.
90 X^2 * Y^2
92 N = --------------------
93 distinct primes in Y
94 N=1,2,3,8,5,6,etc in the column X=1 is integers with odd powers of
96 prime factors. These are the fractions 1/Y so the exponents of the
97 primes are all negative and thus all exponents in N are odd.
98 N=1,4,9,16,etc in row Y=1 are the perfect squares. That row is the
100 integers X/1 so the exponents are all positive and thus in N become
101 2*e, giving simply N=X^2.
102 Odd/Even
104 Option "factor_coding => "odd/even"" changes the f() mapping to
105 numerator exponents as odd numbers and denominator exponents as even.
106 f(e) = 2*e-1 if e > 0
108 = -2*e if e <= 0
109 The effect is simply to transpose X<->Y.
111 "odd/even" is the form given by Kevin McCrimmon and Gerald Freilich.
113 The default "even/odd" is the form given by Yoram Sagher.
114 Negabinary
116 Option "factor_coding => "negabinary"" changes the f() mapping to
117 negabinary as suggested in
118 David M. Bradley, "Counting the Positive Rationals: A Brief
120 Survey", <http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0509025>
121 This coding is not as compact as odd/even and tends to make bigger N
123 values,

141 Reversing Binary
143 Option "factor_coding => "revbinary"" changes the f() mapping to
144 "reversing binary" where a given integer is represented as a sum of
145 powers 2^k with alternating signs
146 e = 2^k1 - 2^k2 + 2^k3 - ... 0 <= k1 < k2 < k3

159 This representation is per Knuth volume 2 section 4.1 exercise 27. The
161 exercise there is to show all integers can be represented this way.

175 The X axis begins with the integers 1 to 7 because f(1)=1 and f(2)=2 so
177 N=X until X has a prime p^3 or higher power. The first such is X=8=2^3
178 which is f(7)=3 so N=2^7=128.

181 See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for behaviour common to all path
182 classes.
183 "$path = Math::PlanePath::FactorRationals->new ()"
185 "$path = Math::PlanePath::FactorRationals->new (factor_coding => $str)"
186 Create and return a new path object. "factor_coding" can be
187 "even/odd" (the default)
189 "odd/even"
190 "negabinary"
191 "revbinary"
192 "($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)"
194 Return X,Y coordinates of point $n on the path. If there's no
195 point $n then the return is an empty list.
196 This depends on factorizing $n and in the current code there's a
198 hard limit on the amount of factorizing attempted. If $n is too
199 big then the return is an empty list.
200 "$n = $path->xy_to_n ($x,$y)"
202 Return the N point number for coordinates "$x,$y". If there's
203 nothing at "$x,$y", such as when they have a common factor, then
204 return "undef".
205 This depends on factorizing $y, or factorizing both $x and $y for
207 negabinary or revbinary. In the current code there's a hard limit
208 on the amount of factorizing attempted. If the coordinates are too
209 big then the return is "undef".
210 The current factorizing limits handle anything up to 2^32, and above
212 that numbers comprised of small factors. But big numbers with big
213 factors are not handled. Is this a good idea? For large inputs
214 there's no merit in disappearing into a nearly-infinite loop. Perhaps
215 the limits could be configurable and/or some advanced factoring modules
216 attempted for a while if/when available.

219 This enumeration of the rationals is in Sloane's Online Encyclopedia of
220 Integer Sequences in the following forms
221 <http://oeis.org/A071974> (etc)
223 A071974 X coordinate, numerators
225 A071975 Y coordinate, denominators
226 A019554 X*Y product
227 A102631 N in column X=1, n^2/squarefreekernel(n)
228 A072345 X and Y at N=2^k, being alternately 1 and 2^k
229 A011262 permutation N at transpose Y/X (exponents mangle odd<->even)
231 A060837 permutation DiagonalRationals -> FactorRationals
233 A071970 permutation RationalsTree CW -> FactorRationals
234 The last A071970 is rationals taken in order of the Stern diatomic
236 sequence stern[i]/stern[i+1] which is the Calkin-Wilf tree rows
237 ("Calkin-Wilf Tree" in Math::PlanePath::RationalsTree).
238 The negabinary representation is
240 A053985 index -> signed
242 A005351 signed positives -> index
243 A039724 signed positives -> index, in binary
244 A005352 signed negatives -> index
245 The reversing binary representation is
247 A065620 index -> signed
249 A065621 signed positives -> index
250 A048724 signed negatives -> index

255 Other Ways to Do It
257 Niven gives another prime factor based construction but encoding N by
258 runs of 1-bits,
259 Ivan Niven, "Note on a paper by L. S. Johnston", American Math.
261 Monthly, volume 55, number 6, June-July 1948, page 358.
262 <http://www.jstor.org/stable/2304962>
263 N is written in binary each 0-bit is considered a separator. The
265 number of 1-bits between each
266 N = 11 0 0 111 0 11 binary
268 | | |
269 2 0 3 2 f(e) = run lengths of 1-bits
270 -1 0 +2 -1 e exponent by "odd/even" style
271 X/Y = 2^(-1) * 3^(+2) * 5^0 * 7^(-1)
273 Kevin McCrimmon's note begins with a further possible encoding for N
275 where the prime powers from numerator are spread out to primes p[2i+1]
276 and with 0 powers sending a p[2i] power to the denominator. In this
277 form the primes from X and Y spread out to different primes rather than
278 different exponents.
