Support

  

compute the support of a polynomial

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

Support(f, T)

Parameters

f

-

polynomial or a list or set of polynomials

T

-

(optional) list or set of variables, MonomialOrder, or ShortMonomialOrder

Description

• 

The Support command returns the list of the monomials present in a polynomial f. It automatically maps onto lists and sets, and can be used to quickly reveal the structure of a large Groebner basis.

• 

An optional second argument T may be a list or set of variables or a MonomialOrder or ShortMonomialOrder.  If a monomial order is supplied then the resulting list of monomials is sorted in the monomial order.  If T is a list then the monomials are sorted in lexicographical order, or if T is a set then the monomials are not sorted.

(1)

Here, Support returns an unsorted list of monomials.

x2z3,xy3z,yz4,xyz2,xy

(2)

The monomials are sorted in lexicographic order with x>y>z .

Supportf,x,y,z

x2z3,xy3z,xyz2,xy,yz4

(3)

The monomials are sorted in graded lexicographic order with x>y>z .

Sometimes it is hard to see the structure of a Groebner basis. Support can quickly reveal the structure.
