containedInSingularLocus -- This method tests is an irreducible variety is contained in the singular locus of the reduced scheme of an irreducible scheme

Synopsis

Description

For a subvariety X of \PP^{n_1}x...x\PP^{n_m} and an irreducible subscheme Y of \PP^{n_1}x...x\PP^{n_m} this command tests whether X is contained in the singular locus of the reduced scheme of Y (i.e. the singular locus of the variety defined by the radical of the ideal defining Y).
