copy p returns a copy of a polynomial p

val to_dense_coefficients : t -> scalar array

to_dense_coefficients p returns the dense representation of a polynomial p, i.e., it converts a C array to an OCaml array

val of_dense : scalar array -> t

of_dense p creates a value of type t from the dense representation of a polynomial p, i.e., it converts an OCaml array to a C array

val of_coefficients : (scalar * int) list -> t

of_coefficients p creates a value of type t from the sparse representation of a polynomial p, i.e., it converts an OCaml array to a C array
