Post subject:  Solving Polynomial equations with parameter coefficients

I was wondering whether it is possible to solve a system of polynomial equations with parameter coeffiecients in terms of the parameter coefficients using one of the libraries of Singular.

The question is what you mean by "solving" in this context.

Assume that the system is 0-dimensional where the parameters belong to the ground field (e.g. a,b parameters, x,y,z variables: ring r=(0,a,b),(x,y,z),lp; )
Then the library 'triang.lib' provides routines for computing triangular systems (analog of row-echelon form for polynomial equations). Each system contains one univariate polynomial with coefficient being rational functions in the parameters, a second polynomial depending on two varaible, etc. This does, in principle, allow an analysis of the solution set in terms of the parameters.

Caveats:
- The polynomials (and coefficients) are usually quite big.
- During Groebner bases computations, Singular extracts and forgets the content of the coefficients. Hence the dependence on the parameters is only generically true.
- A further symbolic analysis would require algebraic extensions of coefficient fields containing parameters which is not implemented.
