Let $R=k[f_1,\ldots,f_k]$ denote the subalgebra of the polynomial quotient ring $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n] / I$ generated by $f_1, \ldots, f_k$. We say $f_1, \ldots, f_k$ form a subalgebra basis with respect to a monomial order $<$ if the initial algebra associated to $<$, defined as $$in(R) := k[in(f\%I) \mid f \in R] \subseteq k[x_1, \ldots, x_n] / in(I),$$ is generated by the elements $in(f_1\%I), \ldots , in(f_k\%I)$. The main functions provided by this package are for computing these subalgebra bases: sagbi, isSAGBI, and subduction.
In addition to the authors below, we thank the following attendees of the 2020 Macaulay2 workshops at Cleveland State University and University of Warwick for their contributions to the package.
