randomDeterminantalIdeal -- produces a random determinantal ideal

Synopsis

Usage:

I = randomDeterminantalIdeal(R,M)
Inputs:
- R, a ring
- M, a matrix, of integers
Outputs:
- I, an ideal, in the ring R

Description

Given a ring and a degree matrix, we produce a random determinantal ideal with forms in prescribed degree. Forms of non-positive degrees are taken as 0 to ensure minimality of presentation.
