# formsList -- list of powers of (affine) linear forms cutting out a specified list of codimension one faces.

## Synopsis

• Usage:
L = formsList(V,E,r)
• Inputs:
• V, a list, list of coordinates of vertices
• E, a list, list of codimension 1 faces (each codimension 1 face is recorded as a list of indices of vertices taken from V)
• r, an integer, desired degree of smoothness
• Optional inputs:
• BaseRing (missing documentation) => a ring, default value null,
• Homogenize (missing documentation) => , default value true,
• CoefficientRing (missing documentation) => a ring, default value QQ,
• VariableName (missing documentation) => , default value t,
• InputType (missing documentation) => , default value ByFacets,
• Outputs:
• L, a list, L = list of (affine) linear forms cutting out codimension one faces specified by E, raised to the power (r+1)

## Description

This method returns a list of (affine) linear forms cutting out codimension one faces, raised to the power (r+1).
