resDM -- uses a "killing cycles"-style construction to find a free resolution of a differential module

Synopsis

Description

Given a differential module D, this method creates a free flag resolution of D, using Algorithm 2.7 from the accompanying paper "The multigraded BGG correspondence in Macaulay2". The default resDM(D) runs the algorithm for the number of steps determined by the dimension of the ambient ring. Alternatively, resDM(D,k) iterates k steps of the algorithm.

i1 : R = QQ[x,y];
 
i2 : M = R^1/ideal(x^2,y^2);
 
i3 : phi = map(M,M,x*y, Degree=>2);

i4 : D = differentialModule phi;
 
i5 : r = resDM(D)

The default algorithm runs for dim R + 1 steps. Adding the number of steps as a second argument is like adding a LengthLimit.
