Short overview of
PLURAL
SINGULAR
::
PLURAL
is a kernel extension of
SINGULAR
,
which is designed for considerably
fast computations within the class of non-commutative
polynomial algebras.
The system allows us to handle many problems,
coming from representation theory (including Lie and quantum
algebras), algebraic geometry, theoretical physics and
differential equations.
-
Major tools: a generalization of Buchberger's algorithm for
computing Gröbner bases and of Schreyer's algorithm for
computing syzygies and free resolutions.
-
Main computational objects: ideals/modules over non-commutative
G-algebras over various ground fields.
- Many algorithms implemented in kernel (written in
C/C++ ).
- Intuitive, C-like programming language
- Some algorithms implemented as
PLURAL
libraries.
- Development started in 2000.
PLURAL
will be freely available
for most hard- and software platforms (Unix, Windows, Macintosh) soon.
