binomialEdgeIdeal -- Binomial edge ideals

Synopsis

Description

This routine returns the (permanental) binomial edge ideal of G.
i1 : G={{1,2},{2,3},{3,1}}

o1 = {{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {3, 1}}

o1 : List
i2 : I = binomialEdgeIdeal(G,Field=>ZZ/2)

o2 = ideal (x y  + x y , x y  + x y , x y  + x y )
             1 2    2 1   1 3    3 1   2 3    3 2
