affineFatPointsByIntersection -- computes ideal of fat points by intersecting powers of maximal ideals

Synopsis

• Usage:

  affineFatPointsByIntersection(M,mults,R)

• Inputs:
  • M, a matrix, in which each column consists of the coordinates of a point
  • mults, a list, in which each element determines the multiplicity of the corresponding point
  • R, a ring, coordinate ring of the affine space containing the points
• Outputs:
  • a list, grobner basis for ideal of a finite set of fat points
