5.1.121 prune

Syntax:
prune ( module_expression )
Type:
module
Purpose:
returns the module minimally embedded in a free module such that the corresponding factor modules are isomorphic.
Note:
If for the input module the attribute "isHomog" is set, prune also sets the attribute "isHomog".
For non-global orderings, only reduction steps with constant units are performed. Hence, the returned module does not need to be minimal.
Example:
 
  ring r=0,(x,y,z),dp;
  module m=gen(1),gen(3),[x,y,0,z],[x+y,0,0,0,1];
  print(m);
==> 1,0,x,x+y,
==> 0,0,y,0,  
==> 0,1,0,0,  
==> 0,0,z,0,  
==> 0,0,0,1   
  print(prune(m));
==> y,
==> z
