genMinDisIdeal -- generalized minimum distance function of an ideal

Synopsis

Description

Returns the value of the generalized minimum distance function (GMDF) of the ideal I on the parameters d and r. The GMDF generalizes the Hamming weights of Reed-Muller-type codes. The integers d and r indique that the function is computing the degree of the ideal generated by r-tuples of polynomials of degree at most d that are linearly independent modulo the ideal I. More information about the GMDF can be found in Definition 1.1 at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.06529v1.pdf.

i1 : K=ZZ/3;
i2 : R=K[t1,t2,t3,t4,t5,t6];
i3 : I=ideal(t1*t6-t3*t4,t2*t6-t3*t5);

o3 : Ideal of R
i4 : genMinDisIdeal(1,1,I)
