Detailed Description

Ad hoc structure used in the computation of the multiplier to use.

This ad-hoc structure defines several variables needed in the determination of the best multiplier, as described by M. A. Morrison and J. Brillhart in the remark 5.3 of the paper "A Method of Factoring and the Factorization of F_7" (Mathematics of Computation, vol 29, #129, Jan 1975, pages 183-205).
