LIBRARY: primdec.lib   Primary Decomposition and Radical of Ideals
AUTHORS:  Gerhard Pfister, pfister@mathematik.uni-kl.de (GTZ)@*
          Wolfram Decker, decker@math.uni-sb.de         (SY)@*
          Hans Schoenemann, hannes@mathematik.uni-kl.de (SY)@*
          Santiago Laplagne, slaplagn@dm.uba.ar         (GTZ)

OVERVIEW:
    Algorithms for primary decomposition based on the ideas of
    Gianni, Trager and Zacharias (implementation by Gerhard Pfister),
    respectively based on the ideas of Shimoyama and Yokoyama (implementation
    by Wolfram Decker and Hans Schoenemann).@*
    The procedures are implemented to be used in characteristic 0.@*
    They also work in positive characteristic >> 0.@*
    In small characteristic and for algebraic extensions, primdecGTZ
    may not terminate.@*
    Algorithms for the computation of the radical based on the ideas of
    Krick, Logar, Laplagne and Kemper (implementation by Gerhard Pfister and Santiago Laplagne).
    They work in any characteristic.@*
    Baserings must have a global ordering and no quotient ideal.


PROCEDURES:

 minAssChar(I...); the minimal associated primes using characteristic sets
 testPrimary(L,k); tests the result of the primary decomposition
 radical(I);       computes the radical of I via Krick/Logar (with modifications by Laplagne) and Kemper
