Description
|
|
•
|
The VanishingIdeal command constructs the vanishing ideal for a set of points in affine space. The output of this command is the ideal of polynomials that vanish (that is, are identically zero) on S.
|
•
|
The first argument must be a list or set of points in affine space. Each point is given as a list with coordinates corresponding to the variables in X.
|
•
|
The third argument is optional, and specifies a monomial order for which a Groebner basis is computed. If omitted, VanishingIdeal chooses lexicographic order, which is generally the fastest order.
|
•
|
The field characteristic can be specified with an optional last argument. The default is characteristic zero.
|
•
|
Multiple occurrences of the same point in S are ignored, so that VanishingIdeal always returns a radical ideal.
