orientedCircuits -- compute the oriented circuits of an oriented matroid or point or vector configuration

Synopsis

Description

An oriented circuit is determined by a linear relationship on the columns of (the augmented matrix of) $A$, of minimal support. The circuit is the pair of lists of indices of the columns where the coefficients is positive (respectively negative).

i1 : A = matrix {
         {0, -1, 2, 3, 4, -5, 6},
         {0, 1, -4, 9, 16, 25, 36},
         {0, 1, 8, -27, 64, 125, -216}}

Let's look at the linear relation giving rise to $\{\{0,3\}, \{ 2, 5, 6\}\}$.

i4 : Ahomog = A || matrix{{7:1}}

o4 = | 0 -1 2  3   4  -5  6    |
     | 0 1  -4 9   16 25  36   |
     | 0 1  8  -27 64 125 -216 |
     | 1 1  1  1   1  1   1    |

o4 : Matrix ZZ  <-- ZZ
 
i5 : Ahomog_{0,3,2,5,6}

o5 = | 0 3   2  -5  6    |
