7.5.2.0. bfct

Usage:

bfct(f [,s,t,v]); f a poly, s,t optional ints, v an optional intvec

Return:

list of ideal and intvec

Purpose:

computes the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial b(s)
for the hypersurface defined by f.

Assume:

The basering is commutative and of characteristic 0.

Background:

In this proc, the initial Malgrange ideal is computed according to
the algorithm by Masayuki Noro and then a system of linear equations is
solved by linear reductions.

Note:

In the output list, the ideal contains all the roots
and the intvec their multiplicities.
If s<>0, std is used for GB computations,
otherwise, and by default, slimgb is used.
If t<>0, a matrix ordering is used for Groebner basis computations,
otherwise, and by default, a block ordering is used.
If v is a positive weight vector, v is used for homogenization
computations, otherwise and by default, no weights are used.

Display:

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