Overview:

In G-algebras, elimination of variables is more involved than in the commutative case.
One, not every subset of variables generates an algebra, which is again a G-algebra.
Two, even if the subset of variables in question generates an admissible subalgebra, there might be no admissible elimination ordering, i.e. an elimination ordering which also satisfies the ordering condition for G-algebras.

The difference between the procedure eliminateNC provided in this library and the procedure eliminate (plural) from the kernel is that eliminateNC will always find an admissible elimination if such one exists. Moreover, the use of slimgb for performing Groebner basis computations is possible.

As an application of the theory of elimination, the procedure preimageNC is provided, which computes the preimage of an ideal under a homomorphism f: A -> B between G-algebras A and B. In contrast to the kernel procedure preimage (plural), the assumption that A is commutative is not required.
