LPP

the leading power-product of a polynomial or vector

Syntax
LPP(P:POLY or VECTOR):POLY

Description
This function returns the leading power-product of P.

Example
/**/  Use R ::= QQ[x,y];
/**/  LPP(3*x^2*y+y);  -- LPP is the same as LT for polynomials
x^2*y

/**/  LPP(Vector(2x,y));  --***OBSOLETE MANUAL: WORK IN PROGRESS***
x

/**/  LT(Vector(2x,y));  --***OBSOLETE MANUAL: WORK IN PROGRESS***
                         -- Note the difference between LPP and LT
                         -- for vectors.
Vector(x, 0)
