NC.LC

Leading coefficient of a polynomial in a free monoid ring.
Syntax
          
NC.LC(F:LIST):INT or RAT

          

Description
Please note: The function(s) explained on this page is/are using the ApCoCoAServer. You will have to start the ApCoCoAServer in order to use it/them.

Please set ring environment coefficient fieldK, alphabet (or set of indeterminates) X and ordering via the functions NC.SetFp, NC.SetX and NC.SetOrdering, respectively, before calling the function. The default coefficient field is Q. The default ordering is length-lexicographic ordering ("LLEX"). For more information, please check the relevant functions.

Example
NC.SetX("abc");
F:=[[1,"ab"],[2,"aa"],[3,"bb"],[4,"bab"]];
NC.SetOrdering("ELIM");
NC.LC(F);
