Description

• 

Important: The diffalg package has been deprecated. Use the superseding package DifferentialAlgebra instead.

• 

The function preparation_polynomial computes a preparation polynomial of p with respect to a.

• 

The preparation polynomial of p with respect to a is a sort of expansion of p according to mparama and its derivatives. It plays a prominent role in the determination of the essential components of the radical differential ideal generated by a single differential polynomial.

• 

A differential polynomial a is said to be regular if it has no common factor with its separant. This property is therefore dependent on the ranking defined on R.

• 

If A is omitted, the preparation polynomial appears with an  indeterminate  (local variable) looking like  _A.

• 

If A is  specified, the preparation polynomial is in the  differential indeterminate A. Then, A, nor its derivatives, should appear in p nor a.

• 

Assume that preparation_polynomial(p, a, R, 'm') = , where the Mi are differential monomials in  and the  are polynomials in R. Then

  

- , where m belongs to R.

  

- The  are not reduced to zero by a, and therefore do not belong to the general component of a.

  

- m is a power product of factors of the initial and separant of a).

• 

The command with(diffalg,preparation_polynomial) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

Studying the degree in  (or ) and its derivatives in these preparation polynomials, we can deduce that  is an essential singular zero of  while  is not.

The preparation polynomial can be used to further study the relationships between the general zero and the singular zeros of .

The general zero of  is an essential singular zero of  while the general zero of  is not. Thus, the straight lines , zeros of , must be limits of either some non singular zeros of  or of the non singular zeros of . Again studying the degrees of the preparation polynomials of  and  we can deduce that the straight lines are in fact limits of the non singular zeros of both (cf. [Kolchin]).
