Description

The method isSmooth uses Jacobian criterion to check the smoothness of an ideal or a Curve.

Synopsis

Synopsis

  • Usage:
    B = isSmooth(C)
  • Inputs:
    • C, an instance of the type Curve
  • Outputs: 
i1 : C = curve(5,2);
 
i2 : isSmooth C

o2 = true

Ways to use this method:

  • isSmooth(Curve)
  • isSmooth(Ideal) -- checks smoothness of an ideal or of a Curve
