Hi I factored this polynomial and found out that the number: > > 4294967296 (which should ring a bell) > > is a factor of the polynomial! >
It didn't ring a bell for me, but factor(4294967296) enlightens me. :-) > It seems that the hilbert numerator uses singular. Can that be that > singular can not deal with very big integers?? Or with too many variables? > I *think* the first sentence on this page is related to your question: http://www.singular.uni-kl.de/Manual/latest/sing_90.htm#SEC129 In principle you could get around it using another Hilbert function. You could try frobby, which is actually in Sage (in mine, anyway), but I've never used it, so I can't be more helpful, sorry. john perry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
