D.2.12.3 changevar

Procedure from library ring.lib (see ring_lib).

Usage:
changevar(vars[,r]); vars=string, r=ring/qring

Return:
ring R, obtained from the ring r [default: r=basering], by changing varstr(r) according to the value of vars.
If, say, vars = "t()" and the ring r exists and has n variables, the new basering will have name R and variables t(1),...,t(n).
If vars = "a,b,c,d", the new ring will have the variables a,b,c,d.

Note:
This procedure is useful in connection with the procedure ringtensor, when a conflict between variable names must be avoided. This proc uses 'execute' or calls a procedure using 'execute'.

Example:
 
LIB "ring.lib";
ring r=0,(x,y,u,v),(dp(2),ds);
ideal i = x^2,y^2-u^3,v;
qring Q = std(i);
setring(r);
def R=changevar("A()"); R; "";
