lowerBoundResurgence -- computes a lower bound for the resurgence of a given ideal.

Synopsis

Usage:

lowerBoundResurgence(Ideal)
Inputs:
- I, an ideal,
Optional inputs:
- SampleSize => ..., default value 5, optional parameter used for approximating asymptotic invariants that are defined as limits.
- UseWaldschmidt => ..., default value false, optional input for computing a lower bound for the resurgence of a given ideal.
Outputs:
- a rational number,

The resurgence of an ideal $I$, defined by Harbourne and Bocci, is given by $\rho(I) :=$ sup $\lbrace a/b : I^{(a)}$ &nsub; $I^b \rbrace.$

Given an ideal $I$, finds the maximum of the quotients $m/k$ that fail $I^{(m)} \subseteq I^k$ with $k \leq$ the optional input SampleSize.
