5.1.48 highcorner
Syntax:
highcorner ( ideal_expression )
highcorner ( module_expression )
Type:
- poly, resp. vector
Purpose:
- returns the smallest monomial not contained in
the ideal, resp. module, generated by the initial terms of the given
generators. If the generators are a standard basis,
this is also the smallest monomial not contained in the ideal, resp. module.
If the ideal, resp. module, is not zero-dimensional, 0 is returned.
The command works also in global orderings, but is not very useful there.
Note:
- Let the ideal I be given by a standard basis. Then
highcorner(I) returns 0 if and only if dim(I)>0 or dim(I)=-1 .
Otherwise it returns the smallest monomial m not in I which has the following
properties (with
the variables of the basering):
-
if
does not divide m (hence, m=1 if the ordering is global)
-
given any set of generators
Example:
See
dim;
std;
vdim.
