D.4.25.12 getSmallest

Procedure from library normal.lib (see normal_lib).

Usage:
getSmallest(J); J is an ideal.

Return:
the generator of J of smallest degree. If there are more than one, it chooses the one with smallest number of monomials.

Note:
It looks only at the generator of J, not at all the polynomials in the ideal.
It is intended maninly to compute a good universal denominator in the normalization algorithms.

Example:
 
LIB "normal.lib";
printlevel = printlevel+1;
ring s = 0,(x,y),dp;
ideal J = x3-y, y5, x2-y2+1;
getSmallest(J);
==> x2-y2+1
printlevel = printlevel-1;
