A.3.9 Primary decomposition

There are two algorithms implemented in SINGULAR which provide primary decomposition: primdecGTZ, based on Gianni/Trager/Zacharias (written by Gerhard Pfister) and primdecSY, based on Shimoyama/Yokoyama (written by Wolfram Decker and Hans Schoenemann).

The result of primdecGTZ and primdecSY is returned as a list of pairs of ideals, where the second ideal is the prime ideal and the first ideal the corresponding primary ideal.

  // prime, even linear subspaces, one 3-dimensional,

  // example, compute the minimal associated primes and

  // (prime) component.
