7.7.2.0. linReduceIdeal

Usage:

linReduceIdeal(I [,s,t,u]); I an ideal, s,t,u optional ints

Return:

ideal or list, linear reductum (over field) of I by its elements

Purpose:

reduces a list of polys only by linear reductions (no monomial
multiplications)

Note:

If s<>0, a list consisting of the reduced ideal and the coefficient
vectors of the used reductions given as module is returned.
Otherwise (and by default), only the reduced ideal is returned.
If t<>0 (and by default) all monomials are reduced (if possible),
otherwise, only leading monomials are reduced.
If u<>0 (and by default), the ideal is first sorted in increasing order.
If u is set to 0 and the given ideal is not sorted in the way described,
the result might not be as expected.

Display:

If printlevel=1, progress debug messages will be printed,
if printlevel>=2, all the debug messages will be printed.
