Overview:
The library normaliz.lib provides an interface for the use of Normaliz 2.11 or newer within SINGULAR. The exchange of data is via files. In addition to the top level functions that aim at objects of type ideal or ring, several other auxiliary functions allow the user to apply Normaliz to data of type intmat. Therefore SINGULAR can be used as a comfortable environment for the work with Normaliz.
Please see the Normaliz.pdf (included in the Normaliz distribution) for a more extensive documentation of Normaliz.

Normaliz allows the use of a grading. In the Singular functions that access Normaliz the parameter grading is an intvec that assigns a (not necessarily positive) degree to every variable of the ambient polynomial ring. But it must give positive degrees to the generators given to function.

Singular and Normaliz exchange data via files. These files are automatically created and erased behind the scenes. As long as one wants to use only the ring-theoretic functions there is no need for file management.
Note that the numerical invariants computed by Normaliz can be accessed in this "automatic file mode".
However, if Singular is used as a frontend for Normaliz or the user wants to inspect data not automatically returned to Singular, then an explicit filename and a path can be specified for the exchange of data. Moreover, the library provides functions for access to these files. Deletion of the files is left to the user.

Use of this library requires the program Normaliz to be installed. You can download it from http://www.mathematik.uni-osnabrueck.de/normaliz/. Please make sure that the executables are in the search path or use setNmzExecPath ( setNmzExecPath).
