testFVector -- Tests if it is possible for a simplicial poset to have a given f-vector.

Synopsis

Usage:

B = testFVector(L)
Inputs:
- L, a list, The f-vector to test.
Outputs:
- B, a Boolean value, Whether a poset with the given f-vector exists.

Description

See Stanley's paper for more details about what f-vectors a simplicial poset can have.

This is useful for validating the arguments of a function that takes an f-vector.

i1 : testFVector({1,4,6,4,1})

o1 = true

Ways to use testFVector :

testFVector(List)

For the programmer

The object testFVector is a method function.
