Powered coordinate heights in the first-coordinate place model #
The canonical place summation uses the first-coordinate RatFunc model.
This module records the exact first-coordinate height and the transported
upper bound for the second-coordinate height, including positive powers.
In the first-coordinate place model, x^m has its expected exact
positive divisor degree.
In the same first-coordinate place model, the transported second
coordinate power has height at most n * degreeOf 0 f.
The exhaustive gcd of 1-u and 1-v is bounded by the powered height
of v, and hence by its displayed plane-curve degree budget.
The exhaustive gcd degree is symmetric in its two arguments.
Simultaneously changing the signs of the two functions does not change their exhaustive gcd divisor degree.
The torsion gcd used by the endpoint is exactly the 1-u, 1-v gcd
used by the canonical Wronskian estimate.
With the coordinates swapped, the one-minus gcd is bounded by the exact powered height of the first coordinate.
