7.10.1.4 lpHilbert

Usage:

lpHilbert(G[,degbound,n]); G an ideal, degbound, n optional integers

Return:

intvec, containing the coefficients of the Hilbert series

Purpose:

Compute the truncated Hilbert series of K<X>/<G> up to a degree bound

Assume:

- basering is a Letterplace ring.
- if you specify a different degree bound degbound,
degbound <= attrib(basering,uptodeg) holds.

Theory:

Hilbert series of an algebra K<X>/<G> is sum_(i>=0) h_i t^i, where h_i is the K-dimension of the space of monomials of degree i, not contained in <G>. For finitely presented algebras Hilbert series NEED NOT be a rational function, though it happens often. Therefore in general there is no notion of a Hilbert polynomial.

Note:

- If degbound is set, there will be a degree bound added. 0 means no
degree bound. Default: attrib(basering,uptodeg).
- n is the number of variables, which can be set to a different number.
Default: attrib(basering, lV).
- In the output intvec I, I[k] is the (k-1)-th coefficient of the Hilbert
series, i.e. h_(k-1) as above.
