 PURPOSE:  Comprehensive Groebner Systems. Canonical Forms.

           bases of the specialized ideal for every point in S_i.
-

           The purpose of the routines in this library is to obtain CGS with
           better properties, namely disjoint segments forming a partition of
-          the parameter space and reduced bases. Reduced bases are sets of

           The lpp characterize the type of solution in each segment.
-          
+
           A further objective is to summarize as much as possible the segments
           with the same lpp into a single segment, and if possible to obtain
           a final result that is canonical, i.e. independent of the algorithm
           and only attached to the given ideal.

-          the same lpp, obtaining the minimal number of segments. The hypothesis

-          proof of the uniqueness of this minimal packing. Moreover, the

           On the other side, Michael Wibmer has proved that for homogeneous ideals,
           all the segments with reduced bases having the same lpp admit a unique
           basis specializing well. For this purpose it is necessary to extend the
           description of the elements of the bases to functions, forming sheaves
-          of polynomials instead of simple polynomials, so that the polynomials in 
-          a sheaf either preserve the lpp of the corresponding polynomial of 
+          of polynomials instead of simple polynomials, so that the polynomials in

           it specializes to 0. Moreover, in a sheaf, for every point in the

           Using Wibmer's Theorem we proved that an affine ideal can be homogenized,
           than discussed by mrcgs and finally de-homogenized. The bases so obtained
           can be reduced and specialize well in the segment. If the theoretic

+
           Finally it is possible to homogenize the whole affine ideal, and then
           the packing algorithm will provide canonical segments by dehomogenizing.
           This corresponds to crcgs routine. It provides the best description
-          of the segments and bases. In contrast crcgs algorithm is usually much 
-          more time consuming and it will not always finish in a reasonable time.

           But the actual algorithms in the library to pack segments have some lacks.
           They are not theoretically always able to pack the segments that we know
           that can be packed. Nevertheless, thanks to Wibmer's Theorem, the
-          algorithms rcgs and crcgs are able to detect if the objective has not been 
-          reached, and if so, to give a Warning. The warning does not invalidate the 
-          output, but it only recognizes that the theoretical objective is not 
-          completely reached by the actual campcting methods and that some segments

           The routine buildtree is the first algorithm used in all the previous
           methods providing a first disjoint CGS, and can be used if none of the
           three fundamental algorithms of the library finishes in a reasonable time.
