7.3.8 imap (plural)
Syntax:
imap ( ring_name, name )
Type:
- number, poly, vector, ideal, module, matrix or list
(the same type as the second argument)
Purpose:
- identity map on common subrings.
imap is the map between rings
and qrings with compatible ground fields which is the identity on
variables and parameters of the same name and 0 otherwise.
(See map (plural) for a description of possible mappings between
different ground fields).
Useful for mappings from a homogenized ring to the original ring or
for mappings from/to rings with/without parameters. Compared with
fetch , imap uses the names of variables and parameters.
Unlike map and fetch , imap can map parameters to variables.
Example:
See
fetch (plural);
map (plural);
qring (plural);
ring (plural).
