SLPexpressions :: getVarGates

getVarGates -- returns the input gates for variables in a polynomial ring

Synopsis

Usage:

getVarGates R
Inputs:
- R, a polynomial ring
Outputs:
- a list, of input gates for the variables in $R$

Description

This methods returns a List of input gates corresponding to variables in the given polynomial $R$, and caches the result in the ring for future use.
