genericMultihomogeneousPolynomial -- generic multi-homogeneous polynomial

Synopsis

Usage:

genericMultihomogeneousPolynomial((k_1,...,k_n),(d_1,...,d_n))
Inputs:
- (k_1,...,k_n), a sequence of positive integers to indicate $n$ sets of variables $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ with $\#(X_i) = k_i$.
- (d_1,...,d_n), a sequence of nonnegative integers.
Optional inputs:
- CoefficientRing => ..., default value ZZ
- Variable => ..., default value "a"
Outputs:
- a ring element, the generic multi-homogeneous polynomial of multi-degree $(d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ in the above sets of variables.

Description

This method helps to construct special types of sparse discriminants. For instance, the hyperdeterminant of a generic $(k_1\times\cdots\times k_n)$-matrix can be obtained with the code: sparseDiscriminant genericMultihomogeneousPolynomial((k_1,...,k_n),(1,...,1)).
