[sage-devel] Re: infinity

2008-05-13 Thread Bjake Hammersholt Roune
The current implementation using InfinityRing and SignedInfinityRing is very close to having a value saying "not defined" (i.e. NaN), and viewed in that light the way things currently work makes sense. It works for the purpose of not raising an exception on division by zero. I am not at all sure I

[sage-devel] Monomial ideal interface

2008-05-09 Thread Bjake Hammersholt Roune
Many otherwise intractable computations are possible on large monomial ideals by using monomial ideal algorithms in place of the more general algorithms. I am considering how best to give users of Sage access to these algorithms, as they become available through integration with Frobby. I would li

[sage-devel] A simple Cython example spkg

2008-05-06 Thread Bjake Hammersholt Roune
I have been trying out Cython in order to wrap a C++ library (Frobby) for Sage, and I had a bit of trouble getting things set up. With help from #sage-devel I have managed to get a minimal example running now, and I promised to describe what I came up with, so I've packaged it up as a very simple

[sage-devel] An spkg for Frobby

2008-04-24 Thread Bjake Hammersholt Roune
As a first effort of getting Frobby into Sage, I have an spkg ready at http://www.broune.com/frobby-0.7.3.spkg along with a Python interface at http://www.broune.com/frobby.py This interface does irreducible decomposition of monomial ideals using Frobby. I've also created a trac ticket at h

[sage-devel] Frobby: Software for computations on monomial ideals

2008-03-30 Thread Bjake Hammersholt Roune
I am the author of the program Frobby, which does computations on monomial ideals. I think Sage is a great project, and I would like to contribute by making it possible to use Frobby as a part of Sage. My question is whether Frobby is an appropriate thing to add to Sage, and if so how I might begi
