D.15.12.31 difformDiff

Procedure from library difform.lib (see difform_lib).

Usage:
difformDiff(df); df difform

Return:
the image of df under the differential

Remark:
To compute the image, the universal derivation is applied to each coefficient and multiplied with the corresponding generator

Note:
- the differential is a map Omega_R^(p) -> Omega_R^(p+1) and this procedure applies the differential to all homogeneous parts of df
- this procedure can also be apllied to polynomials - in this case it is just the universal derivation

Example:
 
LIB "difform.lib";
ring R = 0,(x,y,z,a,b,c),lp;
diffAlgebra();
==> // The differential algebra Omega_R was constructed and the differential \
   forms dx, dy, dz, da, db, dc are available.
////////////////////////////////////////
// Construction of differential forms //
////////////////////////////////////////
difform df_1 = y*dx + z*dy + x*dz + a*db + b*dc + c*da;
difform df_2 = -5*c4*dc*dz*dy + 3*dx*dz - 13*a4*da*db + 12*a4*da*db + x8*dx*dy + 12 + dy*da + dz*dx - (y4-y5)*x12*dx*db*dz - dx - dy + db + x2*db*dy;
poly f = 3x2y2 - z3*c;
///////////////////////////////////////
// Differential applied to the forms //
///////////////////////////////////////
difformDiff(df_1);
==> (-1)*dx*dy+dx*dz+(-1)*dy*dz+da*db+(-1)*da*dc+db*dc
==> 
difformDiff(df_2);
==> (-2x)*dx*dy*db+(5x12y4-4x12y3)*dx*dy*dz*db
==> 
difformDiff(f);
==> 6xy2*dx+6x2y*dy+(-3z2c)*dz+(-z3)*dc
==> 
// The composition of differentials is the zero-map:
difformDiff(difformDiff(df_1));
==> 0
==> 
kill Omega_R,df_1,df_2,f,dx,dy,dz,da,db,dc;
