Jets -- compute jets of various algebraic, geometric and combinatorial objects

Description

This package enables computations with jet functors. It introduces the jets method to compute jets of polynomial rings, ideals, quotients, ring homomorphisms, and varieties. The construction of jets follows an algebraic procedure discussed in several sources, including the first three references below.

Additional features include an alternative algorithm to compute the radical of jets of monomial ideals, a function to construct jets of graphs, a method for principal components of jets, and an option for jets with "projective" gradings.
