# ipbori2(1)

An Interactive PolyBoRi Shell

## NAME

ipbori - An Interactive PolyBoRi Shell

## SYNOPSIS

**ipbori \[ -ipythonprefix**  *prefix* **\] \[**  *ipython-options* **\]**

## DESCRIPTION

An interactive IPython shell for interfacing with the PolyBoRi framework. It offers full support of specialized data structures as well as C/C++- and Python-based algorithms for treating polynomials over Boolean rings.

## OPTIONS

- **-ipythonprefix**

  This options allows to select a path for the IPython executable in the case of multiple IPython installations.\

  Alternatively, the environment variable IPYTHONPREFIX may be set accordingly.

- In addition IPython options may be added to the command line.

  ## ENVIRONMENT

- IPYTHONPREFIX

  Defines a path for the IPython executable. It can be overwritten by the **-ipythonprefix** option.

## BACKGROUND

The core of PolyBoRi is a C++ library, which is wrapped and extended by a Python interface. Essentially, ipbori calls IPython together with a profile for using PolyBoRi's python interface.  It can be used as a special purpose computer-algebra system for computation with polynomials over Boolean rings. In ipbori a global ring is already predefined and a set of variables called x(0), ..., x(9999). The default ordering is lexicographical ordering (lp).\

For more details, see the PolyBoRi documentation. In particular, have a look at the tutorial, the doxygen part for the core library, and pythondoc part for the high-level routines.

## AUTHOR

The PolyBoRi framework was created by The PolyBoRi Team \<polybori@mfo.de\>, consisting of Michael Brickenstein \<brickenstein@mfo.de\> (high-level algorithms, primary designer) and Alexander Dreyer \<alexander.dreyer@itwm.fraunhofer.de\> (low-level routines, project infrastructure, and this man page).
