LIBRARY: dmod.lib     Algorithms for algebraic D-modules
AUTHORS: Viktor Levandovskyy,     levandov@math.rwth-aachen.de
@*             Jorge Martin Morales,    jorge@unizar.es

THEORY: Given a polynomial ring R = K[x_1,...,x_n] and a polynomial F in R,
@*      one is interested in the R[1/F]-module of rank one, generated by F^s
@*      for a natural number s.
@* In fact, the module R[1/F]*F^s has a structure of a D(R)[s]-module, where D(R)
@* is an n-th Weyl algebra K<x_1,...,x_n,d_1,...,d_n | d_j x_j = x_j d_j +1> and
@* D(R)[s] = D(R) tensored with K[s] over K.
@* Constructively, one needs to find a left ideal I = I(F^s) in D(R), such
@* that K[x_1,...,x_n,1/F]*F^s is isomorphic to D(R)/I as a D(R)-module.
@* We often write just D for D(R) and D[s] for D(R)[s].
@* One is interested in the following data:
@* - Ann F^s = I = I(F^s) in D(R)[s], denoted by LD in the output
@* - global Bernstein polynomial in K[s], denoted by bs, its minimal integer root s0 and
@*   the list of all roots of bs, which are rational, with their multiplicities is denoted by BS
@* - Ann F^s0 = I(F^s0) in D(R), denoted by LD0 in the output (LD0 is a holonomic ideal in D(R))
@* - Ann^(1) F^s in D(R)[s], denoted by LD1 (logarithmic derivations)
@* - an operator in D(R)[s], denoted by PS, such that PS*F^(s+1) = bs*F^s holds in K[x_1,...,x_n,1/F^s].

@* We provide the following implementations:
@* OT) the classical Ann F^s algorithm from Oaku and Takayama (J. Pure
        Applied Math., 1999),
@* LOT) Levandovskyy's modification of the Oaku-Takayama algorithm (ISSAC 2007)
@* BM) the Ann F^s algorithm by Briancon and Maisonobe (Remarques sur
        l'ideal de Bernstein associe a des polynomes, preprint, 2002)

GUIDE:
@* - Ann F^s = I = I(F^s) = LD in D(R)[s] can be computed by SannfsBM, SannfsOT, SannfsLOT
@* - Ann^(1) F^s in D(R)[s] can be computed by Sannfslog
@* - global Bernstein polynomial bs resp. BS in K[s] can be computed by bernsteinBM
@* - Ann F^s0 = I(F^s0) = LD0 in D(R) can be computed by annfs0, annfsBM, annfsOT, annfsLOT, annfs2
@* - all the relevant data (LD, LD0, bs, PS) are computed by operatorBM

PURPOSE: compute the D-module structure of basering[1/f]*f^s, according
to the algorithm by Oaku and Takayama
NOTE:    activate this ring with the @code{setring} command. In this ring,
@*       - the ideal LD (which is a Groebner basis) is the needed D-module structure,
@*         which is obtained by substituting the minimal integer root of a Bernstein
@*         polynomial into the s-parametric ideal;
@*       - the list BS contains roots with multiplicities of a Bernstein polynomial of f.
@*       If eng <>0, @code{std} is used for Groebner basis computations,
@*       otherwise, and by default @code{slimgb} is used.
@*       If printlevel=1, progress debug messages will be printed,
@*       if printlevel>=2, all the debug messages will be printed.

NOTE:    activate this ring with the @code{setring} command.
