// define if the Buchberger alg should be used
//   to compute a reduced GB of a omega-homogenoues ideal
// default: we use the hilbert driven algorithm.
#define BUCHBERGER_ALG  //we use the improved Buchberger alg.
 
//#define UPPER_BOUND //for the original "Tran" algorithm
//#define REPRESENTATION_OF_SIGMA //if one perturbs sigma in Tran
 
//#define TEST_OVERFLOW
 
#define CHECK_IDEAL_MWALK //to print intermediate results
 
//#define NEXT_VECTORS_CC
//#define PRINT_VECTORS //to print weight vectors
 
#define INVEPS_SMALL_IN_FRACTAL  //to choose the small invers of epsilon
#define INVEPS_SMALL_IN_MPERTVECTOR  //to choose the small invers of epsilon
#define INVEPS_SMALL_IN_TRAN  //to choose the small invers of epsilon
 
#define FIRST_STEP_FRACTAL // to define the first step of the fractal
#define MSTDCC_FRACTAL // apply Buchberger alg to compute a red GB, if tau doesn't stay in the correct cone
 
//#define TIME_TEST // print the used time of each subroutine
//#define ENDWALKS //print the size of the last omega-homogenoues Groebner basis

/* Implementation of the improved Groebner walk algorithm which is written

   One perturbs the original target weight vector, only if
   the next intermediate weight vector is equal to the current target weight
   vector. This must be repeated until the wanted reduced Groebner basis
   to reach.
   If the numbers of variables is big enough, the representation of the origin
   weight vector may be very big. Therefore, it is possible the intermediate
   weight vector doesn't stay in the correct Groebner cone.
   In this case we have just a reduced Groebner basis of the given ideal
   with respect to another monomial order. Then we have to compute
   a wanted reduced Groebner basis of it with respect to the given order.
   At the following subroutine we use the improved Buchberger algorithm or
   the changed perturbation walk algorithm with a decrased degree.
