D.4.13.2 depthIdeal

Procedure from library mregular.lib (see mregular_lib).

Usage:
depthIdeal (i[,e]); i ideal, e integer

Return:
an integer, the depth of S/i where S=K[x(0)..x(n)] is the basering. (returns -1 if i is not homogeneous or if i=(1))

Assume:
i is a proper homogeneous ideal.
e=0: (default)
If K is an infinite field, makes random changes of coordinates. If K is a finite field, works over a transcendental extension. e=1: Makes random changes of coordinates even when K is finite. It works if it terminates, but may result in an infinite loop. After 30 loops, a warning message is displayed and -1 is returned.

Note:
If printlevel > 0 (default = 0), dim(S/i) is also displayed.
