|  |  D.14.3.3 PH_ais Procedure from libraryphindex.lib(see  phindex_lib).
 
Example:Usage:
PH_ais(I); I ideal of coordinates of the vector field.
Return:
the Poincare-Hopf index of type int.
Note:
the isolated singularity must be algebraically isolated.
Theory:
The Poincare-Hopf index of a real vector field X at the isolated
singularity 0 is the degree of the map (X/|X|) : S_epsilon ---> S,
where S is the unit sphere, and the spheres are oriented as
(n-1)-spheres in R^n. The degree depends only on the germ, X, of X
at 0. If the vector field X is real analytic, then an invariant of
the germ is its local ring
Qx=R[[x1..xn]]/Ix
 where R[[x1,..,xn]] is the ring of germs at 0 of real-valued analytic
functions on R^n, and Ix is the ideal generated by the components
of X. The isolated singularity of X is algebraically isolated if the
algebra Qx is finite dimensional as real vector space, geometrically
this mean that 0 is also an isolated singularity for the
complexified vector field. In this case the Poincare-Hopf index is
the signature of the non degenerate bilinear form <,> obtained by
composition of the product in the algebra Qx with a linear
functional map
 <,> : (Qx)x(Qx) ---(.)--> Qx ---(L)--> R
 with L(Jo)>0, where Jo is the residue class of the Jacobian
determinant in Qx. Here, we use a natural linear functional defined
as follows. Suppose that E={E_1,..E_r} is a basis of Qx, then Jo can
be written as
 Jo=a_1E_{j1}+...+a_kE_{jk}, js\in {1...r}, s=1..k, k<=r,
where a_s are constant. The linear functional L:Qx--->R is defined as
L(E_{j1})=(a_1)/|a_1|=sign of a_1,
 the other elements of the base are sent to 0.
