quotient' -- matrix quotient (opposite)

Synopsis

Usage:

q = quotient'(f,g)
Inputs:
- f, a matrix
- g, a Gröbner basis or a matrix, with the same source as f
Outputs:
- q, the quotient of f upon (opposite) division by g

Description

The equation q*g+r == f will hold, where r is the map provided by remainder' . The sources and targets of the maps should be free modules. This function is obtained from quotient by transposing the inputs and outputs.

i3 : g = transpose (vars R ++ vars R)

o3 = {-1} | x 0 |
