HSaturation

saturation of ideals

Syntax 
HSaturation(I: IDEAL, J: IDEAL): IDEAL

Description
***** NOT YET IMPLEMENTED *****

This functions returns the saturation of I with respect to J: the ideal of polynomials F such that F*G is in I for all G in J^d for some positive integer d.

It calculates the saturation using a Hilbert-driven algorithm. It differs from saturate only when the input is inhomogeneous, in which case, HSaturation may be faster.

The coefficient ring must be a field.

Example 
/**/  Use R ::= QQ[x,y];
/**/  I := ideal(x^4-x, y*x-2*x);
/**/  saturate(I, ideal(x));
ideal(y -2, x^3 -1)

  HSaturation(I, ideal(x)); -- ***** NOT YET IMPLEMENTED *****
