Method Detail

encode

public byte[] encode(FieldElement x)

Preconditions:
|h| bounded by 1.1*2^26,1.1*2^25,1.1*2^26,1.1*2^25,etc.

Write p=2^255-19; q=floor(h/p).
Basic claim: q = floor(2^(-255)(h + 19 2^(-25)h9 + 2^(-1))).

Proof:
Have |h|<=p so |q|<=1 so |19^2 2^(-255) q|<1/4.
Also have |h-2^230 h9|<2^231 so |19 2^(-255)(h-2^230 h9)|<1/4.

Write y=2^(-1)-19^2 2^(-255)q-19 2^(-255)(h-2^230 h9).
Then 0 < y < 1.

Write r=h-pq.
Have 0 <= r <= p-1=2^255-20.
Thus 0 <= r+19(2^-255)r < r+19(2^-255)2^255 <= 2^255-1.

Write x=r+19(2^-255)r+y.
Then 0 < x < 2^255 so floor(2^(-255)x) = 0 so floor(q+2^(-255)x) = q.

Have q+2^(-255)x = 2^(-255)(h + 19 2^(-25) h9 + 2^(-1))
so floor(2^(-255)(h + 19 2^(-25) h9 + 2^(-1))) = q.
