D.4.11.4 depth

Usage:

depth(M,[I]); M module, I ideal

Return:

int,
- if called with 1 argument: the depth of M'=coker(M) w.r.t. the ideal generated by the variables in the basering
(which is the maximal ideal, if the ring is local)
- if called with 2 arguments: the depth of M'=coker(M) w.r.t. the ideal I.

Note:

if I*M==M, depth is infinity, return -1 in this case.

Note:

procedure makes use of KoszulHomology.

LIB "homolog.lib";
ring R=0,(x,y,z),dp;
ideal I=x2,xy,yz;
module M=0;
depth(M,I);
==> -1
ring r=0,(x,y,z),ds;  // local ring
matrix M[2][2]=x,xy,1+yz,0;
print(M);
==> x,   xy,
==> 1+yz,0  
depth(M);     // depth(maxideal,coker(M))
==> 2
ideal I=x;
depth(M,I);   // depth(<x>,coker(M))
==> 0
I=x+z;
depth(M,I);   // depth(<x+z>,coker(M))
==> 1
