isLogarithmic -- check if the given vector fields are logarithmic

Synopsis

• Usage:

  b=isLogarithmic(M,I)

  b=isLogarithmic(V,I)

  b=isLogarithmic(m,I)

• Inputs:
  • M, a matrix, of vector fields
  • V, a vector, a column from a matrix of vector fields
  • m, a module, of vector fields
  • I, an ideal, the ideal
• Outputs:
  • b, a Boolean value, whether the vector fields are in derlog(I)
