gfanLatticeIdeal -- computes the lattice ideal of a lattice

Synopsis

Description

This method computes the generators for the lattice ideal. The input should be a list of points that generate the lattice.

o1 : List

The lattice ideal of a free abelian subgroup L of n is the ideal generated by xα+ - xα- for α=α+ - α- ∈L.

gfan Documentation This program computes the lattice ideal of a lattice. The input is a list of generators for the lattice.Options:-t: Compute the toric ideal of the matrix whose rows are given on the input instead.--convert: Does not do any computation, but just converts the vectors to binomials.
