💖 RATPOINTS(1) 💖

ok so this is the ratpoints manual page, bestie — it lives in the User Manuals section of your friendly neighbourhood Linux system, and it's here to help you find rational points on hyperelliptic curves. yes that's a whole vibe. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ratpoints — a program to find rational points on hyperelliptic curves 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ratpoints ´a_0 a_1 ... a_{n-1} a_n´ H [options]
ratpoints-debug ´a_0 a_1 ... a_{n-1} a_n´ H [options]

so there's the regular one and there's ratpoints-debug, and honestly the debug girlie is giving "let me tell you what's actually happening" energy 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• ´a_0 a_1 ... a_{n-1} a_n´ — these are the coefficients of the curve. all of them. from a_0 all the way to a_n. don't be skipping any, okay? 🙈
• H — the bound for the denominator and absolute value of the numerator. yeah, it's doing double duty, main character behaviour honestly 👑
• options — extra little options you can sprinkle on top to modify the standard behavior. the base version is the base version, and these are for when you wanna switch it up ✨
