TriangularSets -- triangular decompositions of polynomial ideals

Description

This package allows to decompose polynomial ideals into triangular sets
i1 : R = QQ[a..h, MonomialOrder=>Lex];
i2 : I = ideal {a*d - b*c, c*f - d*e, e*h - f*g};

o2 : Ideal of R
i3 : triangularize I

o3 = {{c, d, e, f}, {a*d - b*c, c*f - d*e, g, h} / {d, f}, {b, d, f, h}, {c,
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     d, g, h}, {c, d, f, h}, {b, d, e, f}, {a*d - b*c, e, f} / d, {a*d - b*c,
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     c*f - d*e, e*h - f*g} / {d, f, h}, {c, d, e*h - f*g} / h}

o3 : List

The method triangularize is implemented in M2 only for monomial and binomial ideals. For the general case we interface to Maple.

This package also provides methods for manipulating triangular sets:
