apply


\begin{usage}
apply(p, c, a, $\sigma$, $\delta$)\\ p(c, a, $\sigma$, $\delta$)
\end{usage}


Signature


\begin{params}
{\em p} & C & A skew polynomial\\
{\em c} & R & An element of ...
...\
{\em$\delta$} & R $\to$\ R & The $\sigma$-derivation to use\\\end{params}

\begin{retval}
Returns
\begin{displaymath}
\sum_{i=0}^n a_i\, (c \sigma + \delta)^i\, (a)
\end{displaymath}where $p = \sum_{i=0}^n a_i x^i$.
