LIBRARY: ncfactor.lib  Tools for factorization in some noncommutative algebras
AUTHORS: Albert Heinle,     albert.heinle@rwth-aachen.de
@*       Viktor Levandovskyy,     levandov@math.rwth-aachen.de

OVERVIEW: In this library, new methods for factorization on polynomials
@*  are implemented for two algebras, both generated by two generators (Weyl and
@*  shift algebras) over a field K. Recall, that   the first Weyl algebra over K
@*  is generated by x,d obeying the relation d*x=x*d+1.
@* The first shift algebra over K is generated by x,s obeying the relation s*x=x*s+s.
@* More detailled description of the algorithms can be found at
@url{http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~Albert.Heinle}.

Guide: We are interested in computing a tree of factorizations, that is at the moment
a list of all found factorizations is returned. It may contain factorizations, which
are further reducible.

PROCEDURES:
  facFirstWeyl(h);           factorization in the first Weyl algebra
  testNCfac(l[,h[,1]]);      tests factorizations from a given list for correctness
  facSubWeyl(h,X,D);         factorization in the first Weyl algebra as a subalgebra
  facFirstShift(h);          factorization in the first shift algebra
  homogfacFirstQWeyl(h);     [-1,1]-homogeneous factorization in the first Q-Weyl algebra
  homogfacFirstQWeyl_all(h); [-1,1] homogeneous factorization(complete) in the first Q-Weyl algebra
  tst_ncfactor();            Runs the examples of all contained not static functions. Test thing.

"USAGE: homogfacFirstWeyl(h); h is a homogeneous polynomial in the
 first Weyl algebra with respect to the weight vector [-1,1]
RETURN: list
PURPOSE: Computes a factorization of a homogeneous polynomial h with
  respect to the weight vector [-1,1] in the first Weyl algebra
THEORY: @code{homogfacFirstWeyl} returns a list with a factorization of the given,
 [-1,1]-homogeneous polynomial. If the degree of the polynomial is k with
 k positive, the last k entries in the output list are the second
 variable. If k is positive, the last k entries will be x. The other

PURPOSE: Computes all factorizations of a homogeneous polynomial h with respect
  to the weight vector [-1,1] in the first Weyl algebra
THEORY: @code{homogfacFirstWeyl} returns a list with all factorization of the given,
 homogeneous polynomial. It uses the output of homogfacFirstWeyl and permutes
 its entries with respect to the commutation rule. Furthermore, if a
 factor of degree zero is irreducible in K[  heta], but reducible in
 the first Weyl algebra, the permutations of this element with the other
 entries will also be computed.

  entries in the given list represent the same polynomial or 0
  otherwise.
 Case 2: One optional argument p is given. In this case it returns 1,
  if all the entries in l are factorizations of p, otherwise 0.
 Case 3: Second optional b is given. In this case a list is returned
  containing the difference between the product of each entry in
  l and p.
ASSUME: basering is the first Weyl algebra, the entries of l are polynomials
PURPOSE: Checks whether a list of factorizations contains factorizations of
  the same element in the first Weyl algebra
THEORY: @code{testNCfac} multiplies out each factorization and checks whether
 each factorization was a factorization of the same element.
@* - if there is only a list given, the output will be 0, if it
     does not contain factorizations of the same element. Otherwise the output
     will be 1.
@* - if there is a polynomial in the second argument, then the procedure checks
     whether the given list contains factorizations of this polynomial. If it
     does, then the output depends on the third argument. If it is not given,
     the procedure will check whether the factorizations in the list
     l are associated to this polynomial and return either 1 or 0, respectively.
     If the third argument is given, the output will be a list with
     the length of the given one and in each entry is the product of one
     entry in l subtracted by the polynomial.

 k positive, the last k entries in the output list are the second
