killCycles -- Adjoins variables to make non-bounding cycles boundaries in the lowest positive degree with nontrivial homology.

Synopsis

Usage:

B = killCycles(A)
Inputs:
- A, an instance of the type DGAlgebra,
Optional inputs:
- EndDegree => ..., default value -1, Option to specify the degree to stop looking for cycles
- StartDegree => ..., default value 1, Option to specify the degree to start looking for cycles
Outputs:
- B, an instance of the type DGAlgebra,
