Polynomial bounds over ultrametric rings #
Over an ultrametric seminormed commutative ring with ‖1‖ = 1, let p a be polynomials of
degree at most one whose constant coefficients have norm at most one and whose linear
coefficients have norm at most r a. The m-th coefficient of ∏ a ∈ s, p a is a sum of
products of m linear and #s - m constant coefficients, so the ultrametric inequality bounds
it by every common bound for the products ∏ a ∈ t, r a over the m-element subsets t of s
(TauCeti.norm_coeff_prod_le_of_natDegree_le_one). Applied to the Leibniz expansion, this
bounds the coefficients of determinants such as det (1 - X A) and of the adjugate of
1 - X A.
An integral polynomial has norm at most one on the closed unit ball of an ultrametric
seminormed ring with ‖1‖ = 1 (Polynomial.norm_aeval_le_one).

Coefficients of a product of linear polynomials. Over an ultrametric seminormed
commutative ring with ‖1‖ = 1, let p a be polynomials of degree at most one with
‖(p a).coeff 0‖ ≤ 1 and ‖(p a).coeff 1‖ ≤ r a. If c ≥ 0 bounds ∏ a ∈ t, r a for every
m-element subset t of s, then c bounds the m-th coefficient of ∏ a ∈ s, p a.
