proc normal(ideal id, list #)
"USAGE:  normal(id [,choose]); id = radical ideal, choose = optional string. @*
         Optional parameters in list choose (can be entered in any order):@*
         Decomposition:@*
         - \"equidim\" -> computes first an equidimensional decomposition,
         and then the normalization of each component (default).@*
         - \"prim\" -> computes first the minimal associated primes, and then
         the normalization of each prime. @*
         - \"noDeco\" -> no preliminary decomposition is done. If the ideal is
         not equidimensional radical, output might be wrong.@*
         - \"isPrim\" -> assumes that the ideal is prime. If this assumption
         does not hold, the output might be wrong.@*
         - \"noFac\" -> factorization is avoided in the computation of the
         minimal associated primes;
         Other:@*
         - \"useRing\" -> uses the original ring ordering.@*
         If this option is set and if the ring ordering is not global, normal
         will change to a global ordering only for computing radicals and prime
         or equidimensional decompositions.@*
         If this option is not set, normal changes to dp ordering and performs
         all computations with respect to this ordering.@*
         - \"withDelta\" (or \"wd\") -> returns also the delta invariants.@*
         If choose is not given or empty, only \"equidim\" but no other option
         is used.
ASSUME:  The ideal must be radical, for non-radical ideals the output may
         be wrong (id=radical(id); makes id radical). However, when using the
         \"prim\" option the minimal associated primes of id are computed first
         and hence normal computes the normalization of the radical of id.@*
NOTE:    \"isPrim\" should only be used if id is known to be prime.
RETURN:  a list, say nor, of size 2 (resp. 3 with option \"withDelta\").
@format  Let R denote the basering and id the input ideal.
         * nor[1] is a list of r rings, where r is the number of associated
         primes P_i with option \"prim\" (resp. >= no of equidimenensional
         components P_i with option \"equidim\").@*
         Each ring Ri := nor[1][i], i=1..r, contains two ideals with given
         names @code{norid} and @code{normap} such that: @*
         - Ri/norid is the normalization of the i-th component, i.e. the
          integral closure of R/P_i in its field of fractions (as affine ring);
         - @code{normap} gives the normalization map from R/id to
           Ri/norid for each i.@*
         - the direct sum of the rings Ri/norid, i=1,..r, is the normalization
           of R/id as affine algebra; @*
         * nor[2] is a list of size r with information on the normalization of
         the i-th component as module over the basering R:@*
         nor[2][i] is an ideal, say U, in R such that the integral closure
         of basering/P_i is generated as module over R by 1/c * U, with c
         the last element U[size(U)] of U.@*
         * nor[3] (if option \"withDelta\" is set) is a list of an intvec
         of size r, the delta invariants of the r components, and an integer,
         the total delta invariant of basering/id (-1 means infinite, and 0
         that R/P_i resp. R/id is normal).
@end format
THEORY:  We use here a general algorithm described in [G.-M.Greuel, S.Laplagne,
         F.Seelisch: Normalization of Rings (2009)].@*
         The procedure computes the R-module structure, the algebra structure
         and the delta invariant of the normalization of R/id:@*
         The normalization of R/id is the integral closure of R/id in its total
         ring of fractions. It is a finitely generated R-module and nor[2]
         computes R-module generators of it. More precisely: If U:=nor[2][i]
         and c:=U[size(U)], then c is a non-zero divisor and U/c is an R-module
         in the total ring of fractions, the integral closure of R/P_i. Since
         U[size(U)]/c is equal to 1, R/P_i resp. R/id is contained in the
         integral closure.@*
         The normalization is also an affine algebra over the ground field
         and nor[1] presents it as such. For geometric considerations nor[1] is
         relevant since the variety of the ideal norid in Ri is the
         normalization of the variety of the ideal P_i in R.@*
         The delta invariant of a reduced ring A is dim_K(normalization(A)/A).
         For A=K[x1,...,xn]/id we call this number also the delta invariant of
         id. nor[3] returns the delta invariants of the components P_i and of
         id.
NOTE:    To use the i-th ring type e.g.: @code{def R=nor[1][i]; setring R;}.
@*       Increasing/decreasing printlevel displays more/less comments
         (default: printlevel=0).
@*       Implementation works also for local rings.
@*       Not implemented for quotient rings.
@*       If the input ideal id is weighted homogeneous a weighted ordering may
         be used together with the useRing-option (qhweight(id); computes
         weights).

         option \"isPrim\" is not set, the minimal associated primes of id
         are computed first and hence normal computes the normalization of
         the radical of id. If option \"isPrim\" is set, the ideal must be
         a prime ideal otherwise the result may be wrong.
RETURN:  a list, say 'nor' of size 2 (resp. 3 if \"withRing\" is set).@*
         ** If option \"withRing\" is not set: @*
         Only the module structure is computed: @*
         * nor[1] is a list of ideals Ii, i=1..r, in the basering R where r
         is the number of minimal associated prime ideals P_i of the input
         ideal id, describing the module structure:@*
         If Ii is given by polynomials g_1,...,g_k in R, then c:=g_k is
         non-zero in the ring R/P_i and g_1/c,...,g_k/c generate the integral
         closure of R/P_i as R-module in the quotient field of R/P_i.@*
         * nor[2] shows the delta invariants: it is a list of an intvec
         of size r, the delta invariants of the r components, and an integer,
         the total delta invariant of R/id
         (-1 means infinite, and 0 that R/P_i resp. R/id is normal). @*
         ** If option \"withRing\" is set: @*
         The ring structure is also computed, and in this case:@*
         * nor[1] is a list of r rings.@*
         Each ring Ri = nor[1][i], i=1..r, contains two ideals with given
         names @code{norid} and @code{normap} such that @*
         - Ri/norid is the normalization of R/P_i, i.e. isomorphic as
           K-algebra (K the ground field) to the integral closure of R/P_i in
           the field of fractions of R/P_i; @*
         - the direct sum of the rings Ri/norid is the normalization
           of R/id; @*
         - @code{normap} gives the normalization map from R to Ri/norid.@*
         * nor[2] gives the module generators of the normalization of R/P_i,
         it is the same as nor[1] if \"withRing\" is not set.@*
         * nor[3] shows the delta invariants, it is the same as nor[2] if
         \"withRing\" is not set.
THEORY:  normalP uses the Leonard-Pellikaan-Singh-Swanson algorithm (using the
         Frobenius) cf. [A. K. Singh, I. Swanson: An algorithm for computing
         the integral closure, arXiv:0901.0871].
         The delta invariant of a reduced ring A is dim_K(normalization(A)/A).
         For A=K[x1,...,xn]/id we call this number also the delta invariant of
         id. The procedure returns the delta invariants of the components P_i
         and of id.
NOTE:    To use the i-th ring type: @code{def R=nor[1][i]; setring R;}.
@*       Increasing/decreasing printlevel displays more/less comments
         (default: printlevel = 0).
@*       Not implemented for local or mixed orderings or quotient rings.
         For local or mixed orderings use proc 'normal'.
@*       If the input ideal id is weighted homogeneous a weighted ordering may
         be used (qhweight(id); computes weights).
@*       Works only in characteristic p > 0, use proc normal in char 0.

         X(j) and T(j) are expressed as quotients in the total ring of
         fractions. Note that the X(j) and T(j) generate the integral closure
         as K-algebra, but not necessarily as R-module (since relations of the
         form X(1)=T(1)*T(2) may have been eliminated). Geometrically the
         algebra structure is relevant since the variety of the ideal norid in
         Ri is the normalization of the variety of the ideal P_i in R.@*
         The delta invariant of a reduced ring A is dim_K(normalization(A)/A).
         For A=K[x1,...,xn]/id we call this number also the delta invariant of
         id. nor[3] returns the delta invariants of the components P_i and of
         id.
NOTE:    To use the i-th ring type: @code{def R=nor[1][i]; setring R;}.
@*       Increasing/decreasing printlevel displays more/less comments
         (default: printlevel=0).
@*       Not implemented for local or mixed orderings or quotient rings.
         For local or mixed orderings use proc 'normal'.
@*       If the input ideal id is weighted homogeneous a weighted ordering may

"USAGE:   norTest(i,nor,[n]); i=prime ideal, nor=list, n=optional integer
ASSUME:  nor is the output of normal(i) (any options) or
         normalP(i,"withRing") or normalC(i) (any options).
         In particular, the ring nor[1][1] contains the ideal norid
         and the map normap: basering/i --> nor[1][1]/norid.
RETURN:  an intvec v such that:
@format
         v[1] = 1 if the normap is injective and 0 otherwise
         v[2] = 1 if the normap is finite and 0 otherwise
         v[3] = 1 if nor[1][1]/norid is normal and 0 otherwise
@end format
         If n=1 (resp n=2) only v[1] (resp. v[2]) is computed and returned
THEORY:  The procedure can be used to test whether the computation of the
         normalization was correct: basering/i --> nor[1][1]/norid is the
         normalization of basering/i if and only if v=1,1,0.
NOTE:    For big examples it can be hard to fully test correctness; the
         partial test norTest(i,nor,2) is usually fast
