connectionForm -- computes the connection matrix

Description

This method encodes the system of connection matrices in a single matrix. Its entries are differential one-forms in the variables of the underlying Weyl algebra.

i1 : D = makeWeylAlgebra(QQ[x,y]);
i2 : I = ideal(x*dx^2-y*dy^2+2*dx-2*dy, x*dx+y*dy+1);

o2 : Ideal of D
i3 : connectionForm I

o3 = | -1/xdx -y/xdx+dy |
     | 0      -2/ydy    |

The following example computes the connection matrix of the $D$-ideal annihilating $sin(xy)$ and $cos(xy)$

i4 : D = makeWeylAlgebra(QQ[x,y]);
i5 : I = ideal (dx^2-y^2, dy^2-x^2);

o5 : Ideal of D
i6 : A = pfaffianSystem(I,{1_D,dx});
i7 : connectionForm A

o7 = | 0         dx+x/ydy |
     | y2dx+xydy 1/ydy    |

Caveat

The output is purely for visualizing purposes.
