I'm trying to use Greek characters in Singular, but it's giving me an error. Is there any way to make this work or is there some other implementation of Greek characters in Singular? My main concern is with having more variables than there are letters in the alphabet, and if there are other solutions to this problem I would welcome those too. Thanks!
Code:
R = singular.ring(0,'(Ψ,Ω,α)','ds')
