vFunctionP -- compute the $\text{v}_\mathfrak{p}$-function of monomial ideal $I$

Synopsis

Description

For $k\gg0$, the numerical function $k\mapsto\text{v}_\mathfrak{p}(I^k)$ is a linear function of the form $mk+q$, with $m$ and $q$ integers. This method computes the pair $(m,q)$.

i1 : S = QQ[x_1..x_3];
i2 : I = ideal(x_1*x_2,x_1*x_3,x_2*x_3);
