binomialRadical -- Radical of a binomial ideal

Synopsis

Description

If the input is a cellular binomial ideal then a very fast algorithm is used. If one knows this and also the cellular variables then cellularBinomialRadical should be used.
i1 : R = QQ[x,y]

o1 = R

o1 : PolynomialRing
i2 : I = ideal (y^2, x*y-y, x^2-1)

             2            2
o2 = ideal (y , x*y - y, x  - 1)

o2 : Ideal of R
i3 : binomialRadical I

             2            2
o3 = ideal (y , x*y - y, x  - 1, y)

o3 : Ideal of R
