Synopsis

• Usage:

  newSimplexCell(boundary,label)

  newSimplexCell(boundary)

• Inputs:
  • boundary, a list, that gives the boundary of the new cell either as a list of pairs of cells and their orientation, or a list of cells.
  • label, a number, a ring element, a module, or an ideal, that gives a label to associate to the cell, otherwise attempt to infer it based on the labels on the boundary
• Outputs:
  • a cell, that was created

Description

i1 : v1 = newSimplexCell {};

i2 : v2 = newSimplexCell {};

i3 : e1 = newSimplexCell {v1,v2};

i4 : e2 = newSimplexCell {(v1,1),(v2,-1)};

i5 : C = cellComplex(ZZ, {e1,e2});
