LIBRARY: dmodvar.lib     Algebraic D-modules for varieties

OVERVIEW:
Theory: Let K be a field of characteristic 0. Given a polynomial ring R = K[x_1,...,x_n] and 
@* a set of polynomial f_1,..., f_r in R, define F = f_1 * ... * f_r and F^s:=f_1^s_1*...*f_r^s_r 
@* for symbolic discrete (that is shiftable) variables s_1,..., s_r.
@* The module R[1/F]*F^s has a structure of a D<S>-module, where 
D<S> := D(R) tensored with S over K, 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>
@*   - S is the universal enveloping algebra of gl_r, generated by s_{ij}, where s_{ii}=s_i.
@* One is interested in the following data:
@*   - the left ideal Ann F^s in D<S>, usually denoted by LD in the output
@*   - global Bernstein polynomial in one variable s = s_1 + ...+ s_r, denoted by bs,
@*   - its minimal integer root s0, the list of all roots of bs, which are known
@*     to be negative rational numbers, with their multiplicities, which is denoted by BS
@*   - an r-tuple of operators in D<S>, denoted by PS, such that the functional equality
@*     sum(k=1 to k=r) P_k*f_k*F^s = bs*F^s holds in R[1/F]*F^s.

generalized algorithm by Briancon and Maisonobe for affine varieties.
NOTE:    activate this ring with the @code{setring} command.
@*       In the ring D<S>, the ideal LD is the needed D<S>-module structure.
@*       The value of ORD must be an elimination ordering in D<Dt,S> for Dt
@*       written in the string form, otherwise the result may have no meaning.
@*       By default ORD = '(a(1..(P)..1),a(1..(P+P^2)..1),dp)'.
@*       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,

NOTE:    In the output list, say L,
@*       - L[1] of type ideal contains all the rational roots of a b-function,
@*       - L[2] of type intvec contains the multiplicities of above roots,
@*       - optional L[3] of type string is the part of b-function without
@*        rational roots.
@*       Note, that a b-function of degree 0 is encoded via L[1][1]=0, L[2]=0 and
@*       L[3] is 1 (for nonzero constant) or 0 (for zero b-function).
@*       If a<>0, the ideal is used as given. Otherwise, and by default, a
@*       heuristically better suited generating set is used to reduce computation
@*       time.
@*       If b<>0, @code{std} is used for GB computations in characteristic 0,
@*       otherwise, and by default, @code{slimgb} is used.
@*       If c<>0, a matrix ordering is used for GB computations, otherwise,
@*       and by default, a block ordering is used.
DISPLAY: If printlevel=1, progress debug messages will be printed,
@*       if printlevel>=2, all the debug messages will be printed.
