gotzmannNumber -- Compute the Gotzmann number of a Hilbert polynomial

Synopsis

Description

Returns the Gotzmann number of the input polynomial, i.e. the length of its Gotzmann decomposition (see gotzmannDecomposition).

i1 : QQ[t];
i2 : gotzmannNumber(3*t+4)

o2 = 7
i3 : gotzmannDecomposition(3*t+4)

o3 = {P , - P  + P , - 2*P  + P , P , P , P , P }
