StableBBasis5

Stable Border Basis of ideal of points

Syntax
 StableBBasis5(Pts: LIST, Toler: LIST): RECORD
 StableBBasis5(Pts: LIST, Toler: LIST, Gamma: RAT): RECORD

Description
***** NOT YET IMPLEMENTED ***** See TmpNBM

This function returns a record containing a stable order ideal of the ideal of points, and a list of almost vanishing polynomials. If the cardinality of the order ideal is equal to the number of points, it is in fact a quotient basis, and in this case a stable border basis founded on it is also returned. The boolean field StableBBasisFound is set to true if a stable border basis was found, otherwise false.

The first argument is a list of points in k-dimensional space, and the second argument is list of k positive tolerances (one for each dimension). The function builds the stable order ideal stepwise by testing, from a numerical point of view, the linear dependence of a set of vectors. So that the answer can be represented, the current ring must have at least k indeterminates; the term ordering is ignored as it plays no role in determining the border basis.

There is a third, optional argument: it is a real non negative number Gamma which is used for scaling the threshold on the admissible perturbation of the points. A value of Gamma << 1 should be used. If no value is specified then by default Gamma = 0.1

For a full description of the algorithms we refer to the paper J.Abbott, C.Fassino, L.Torrente Stable Border Bases for Ideals of Points (to appear in JSC or arXiv:07062316).
