Ideal - A simple of an algebraic Ideal.


NAME

Ideal - A simple (subset) of an algebraic Ideal.


DESCRIPTION

new
creates a new Ideal instance with no polynomials.

copy OBJREF
performs a deep copy of object reference passed in.

polynomials
polynomials LIST
access/modify polynomial list in object. If there is any input, it is taken as the new value of polynomials. The value of polynomials is returned to the caller.

appendPolynomial OBJREF
takes as input a reference to polynomial to append to list; a copy of it is made and then appended.

toString
generates a string representing the list of polynomials and returns this string to the caller.

set LIST
list of polynomials to set the ideal to. destroys current polynomial list and copies the new list.

getSize
returns the number of polynomials in the ideal generator.

getPolynomial
returns the ith polynomial from the list.

getGBasis
generates a groebner basis using Buchberger's simplest algorithm.
