D.2.4.7 maxdeg

Usage:

maxdeg(id); id poly/ideal/vector/module/matrix

Return:

int/intmat, each component equals maximal degree of monomials in the corresponding component of id, independent of ring ordering (maxdeg of each var is 1).
Of type int if id is of type poly, of type intmat else

Note:

proc maxdeg1 returns 1 integer, the absolute maximum; moreover, it has an option for computing weighted degrees

LIB "poly.lib";
ring r = 0,(x,y,z),wp(1,2,3);
poly f = x+y2+z3;
deg(f);             //deg; returns weighted degree (in case of 1 block)!
==> 9
maxdeg(f);
==> 3
matrix m[2][2]=f+x10,1,0,f^2;
maxdeg(m);
==> 10,0,
==> -1,6
