freeVariables -- free variables of a triangular set

Synopsis

Description

The free variables of $T$ are the ones that do not appear as the main variable of a polynomial in $T$.

i1 : R = QQ[a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h, MonomialOrder=>Lex];
i2 : F = {a*d - b*c, c*f - d*e, e*h - f*g};
i3 : H = {d, f, h};
i4 : T = triaSystem(R,F,H)

o4 = {a*d - b*c, c*f - d*e, e*h - f*g} / {d, f, h}

o4 : TriaSystem
i5 : freeVariables T

o5 = {b, d, f, g, h}

o5 : List
