acyclicClosure(...,EndDegree=>...) -- Option to specify the degree to stop computing the acyclic closure

Synopsis

Description

All generators of the acyclic closure will be found up to homological degree n. Note that B can be an ordinary ring, a factor ring of a polynomial ring, treated as a DGAlgebra generated in homological degree 0, as in the following example:

The default value of EndDegree is 3.
