D.4.7.8 flatteningStrat

Usage:

flatteningStrat(M); M module

Return:

list of ideals.
The list entries L[1],...,L[r] describe the flattening stratification of M'=coker(M): setting L[0]=0, L[r+1]=1, the flattening stratification is given by the open sets Spec(A/V(L[i-1])) \ V(L[i]), i=1,...,r+1 (A = basering).
