Singular Manual: locNormal

| #### D.4.11.1 locNormal Procedure from library `locnormal.lib` (see locnormal_lib). Usage: locNormal(I [,options]); I = prime ideal, options = list of options. Optional parameters in list options (can be entered in any order): modular: use a modular approach for the local computations. The number of primes is increased one at a time, starting with 2 primes, until the result stabelizes. noVerificication: if the modular approach is used, the result will not be verified. Assume: I is a prime ideal (the algorithm will also work for radical ideals as long as the normal command does not detect that the ideal under consideration is not prime). Return: a list of an ideal U and a universal denominator d such that U/d is the normalization. Remarks: We use the local-to-global algorithm given in [1] to compute the normalization of A = R/I, where R is the basering. The idea is to stratify the singular locus of A, apply the normalization algorithm given in [2] locally at each stratum, and put the local results together. If the option modular is given, the result is returned as a probabilistic result or verified, depending on whether the option noVerificication is used or not. The normalization of A is represented as an R-module by returning a list of U and d, where U is an ideal of A and d is an element of A such that U/d is the normalization of A. In fact, U and d are returned as an ideal and a polynomial of the base ring R.

    LIB "locnormal.lib";
    ring R = 0,(x,y,z),dp;
    int k = 4;
    poly f = (x^(k+1)+y^(k+1)+z^(k+1))^2-4*(x^(k+1)*y^(k+1)+y^(k+1)*z^(k+1)+z^(k+1)*x^(k+1));
    f = subst(f,z,3x-2y+1);
    ring S = 0,(x,y),dp;
    poly f = imap(R,f);
    ideal i = f;
    list L = locNormal(i);
