D.2.8.10 mindeg

Procedure from library poly.lib (see poly_lib).

Usage:
mindeg(id); id poly/ideal/vector/module/matrix

Return:
minimal degree/s of monomials of id, independent of ring ordering (mindeg of each variable is 1) of type int if id of type poly, else of type intmat.

Example:
 
LIB "poly.lib";
ring r = 0,(x,y,z),ls;
poly f = x5+y2+z3;
ord(f);                  // ord returns weighted order of leading term!
==> 3
mindeg(f);               // computes minimal degree
==> 2
matrix m[2][2]=x10,1,0,f^2;
mindeg(m);               // computes matrix of minimum degrees
==> 10,0,
==> -1,4
