polynomialSolutions -- polynomial solutions of a holonomic system

Synopsis

Description

The polynomial solutions of a holonomic system form a finite-dimensional vector space. There are two algorithms implemented to get these solutions. The first algorithm is based on Gröbner deformations and works for ideals $I$ of PDE's - see the paper Polynomial and rational solutions of a holonomic system by Oaku, Takayama and Tsai (2000). The second algorithm is based on homological algebra - see the paper Computing homomorphisms between holonomic D-modules by Tsai and Walther (2000).
