D.4.2.1 algebra_containment

Usage:

algebra_containment(p,A[,k]); p poly, A ideal, k integer.
A = A[1],...,A[m] generators of subalgebra of the basering

Return:

- k=0 (or if k is not given) an integer: 1 : if p is contained in the subalgebra K[A[1],...,A[m]] 0 : if p is not contained in K[A[1],...,A[m]] - k=1 : a list, say l, of size 2, l[1] integer, l[2] ring, satisfying l[1]=1 if p is in the subalgebra K[A[1],...,A[m]] and then the ring l[2]: ring, contains poly check = h(y(1),...,y(m)) if p=h(A[1],...,A[m]) l[1]=0 if p is not in the subalgebra K[A[1],...,A[m]] and then l[2] contains the poly check = h(x,y(1),...,y(m)) if p satisfies the nonlinear relation p = h(x,A[1],...,A[m]) where x = x(1),...,x(n) denote the variables of the basering

Display:

if k=0 and printlevel >= voice+1 (default) display the polynomial check

Note:

The proc inSubring uses a different algorithm which is sometimes faster.

Theory:

The ideal of algebraic relations of the algebra generators A[1],..., A[m] is computed introducing new variables y(i) and the product order with x(i) >> y(i).
p reduces to a polynomial only in the y(i) <=> p is contained in the subring generated by the polynomials A[1],...,A[m].

==> // The ring contains the polynomial check which defines the algebraic rel\

==> // To access to the ring and see check you must give the ring a name,
==> // e.g.:
==>                def S = l[2]; setring S; check;
