5.1.91 mult

Syntax:
mult ( ideal_expression )
mult ( module_expression )
Type:
int
Purpose:
computes the degree of the monomial ideal, resp. module, generated by the leading monomials of the input.
If the input is a standard basis of a homogeneous ideal then it returns the degree of this ideal.
If the input is a standard basis of an ideal in a (local) ring with respect to a local degree ordering then it returns the multiplicity of the ideal (in the sense of Samuel, with respect to the maximal ideal).
Example:
 
See degree; dim; ideal; std; vdim.
