Overview:

The main purpose of this library is the handling of bimodules
which will help e.g. to determine weak normal forms of representation matrices
and total divisors within non-commutative, non-simple G-algebras.
We will use modules homomorphisms between a G-algebra and its enveloping algebra
in order to work left Groebner basis theory on bimodules.
Assume we have defined a (non-commutative) G-algebra A over the field K, and an (A,A)-bimodule M.
Instead of working with M over A, we define the enveloping algebra A^{env} = A otimes_K A^{opp}
(this can be done with command envelope(A)) and embed M into A^{env} via imap().
Thus we obtain the left A^{env}-module M otimes 1 in A^{env}.
This has a lot of advantages, because left module theory has much more commands
that are already implemented in SINGULAR:PLURAL. Two important procedures that we can use are std()
which computes the left Groebner basis, and NF() which computes the left normal form.
With the help of this method we are also able to determine the set of bisyzygies of a bimodule.

A built-in command twostd in PLURAL computes the two-sided Groebner basis of an ideal
by using the right completion algorithm of [2]. bistd from this library uses very different
approach, which is often superior to the right completion.
