15:53 CoCoA-5 Bug #1640: MinSubsetOfGens does not find min subset
During skype meeting, we implemented an improvement (discarding longest polynomial first). Now the given example is ... Anna Maria Bigatti

00:11 CoCoA-5 Bug #1640: MinSubsetOfGens does not find min subset
I have now re-read the manual, and understood what it was trying to say.
Maybe re-write the manual entry to make it ...

00:09 CoCoA-5 Bug #1640: MinSubsetOfGens does not find min subset
I had wanted to show @MinSubsetOfGens@ to my students, but maybe it is better not to do so.
The code is weird; I a...

00:08 CoCoA-5 Bug #1640 (Closed): MinSubsetOfGens does not find min subset
Not sure what @MinSubsetOfGens@ does, but it does not find a min card subset of the gens which generate the same idea... John Abbott
20:26 CoCoA-5 Bug #1639: RealRoots: crashes after interrupting
I still get a crash with @product([x-k | k in 0..600])@ and interrupting after about 20s.
Trying with 500 instead of...

17:49 CoCoA-5 Bug #1639 (New): RealRoots: crashes after interrupting
Naturally I discovered this while giving a demo to my students...... John Abbott

20:37 CoCoA-5 Slug #1638: MinSubsetOfGens sometimes very slow
There are only 256 subsets to try; and some can be quickly eliminated.
I saw the source, and understand that it is n...

20:35 CoCoA-5 Slug #1638 (New): MinSubsetOfGens sometimes very slow
I have just tried @MinSubsetOfGens@, and was surprised how slow it was on a small example.... John Abbott

14:49 CoCoALib Feature #1637 (New): Intersection of Ideals: has GBasis?
When one computes the intersection of two ideals, are the resulting generators a GBasis?
Sometimes they are: can we ...

18:48 CoCoA-5 Bug #1104: Eigenvectors: inconsistent return type
Here is an observation about the given example:
* in the case that the eigenvalue is rational (_i.e._ in the field),...

18:44 CoCoA-5 Slug #1629: RingElem slow with many indets
Anna implemented a quick fix: it was much faster, but would also sometimes give a wrong answer (we understood why).

17:10 CoCoALib Support #262: Play with GIT
Does anyone have useful experience to help decide between Github/Gitlab/other? And also how one goes about in practice? John Abbott
17:08 CoCoALib Support #262: Play with GIT
Florian and Bernhard suggest putting the source on Github/Gitlab.

17:13 CoCoA-5 Support #1636 (In Progress): Missing/Incomplete manual entries
Some entries in the online manual are missing or very incomplete.... John Abbott
16:47 CoCoALib Feature #1635 (In Progress): NR for polys with coeffs in PID
Make @NR@ work also polys with coeffs in a PID (at least in @ZZ@).
This is a stepping stone to GBasis over @ZZ@.

22:06 CoCoALib Support #256 (Resolved): Improve doc about ordering/grading for poly rings
I think the doc in @SparsePolyRing.txt@ is OK now. Do you agree, Anna?

17:15 CoCoA-5 Bug #1634: Unexpected or unhelpful error using GroebnerFanIdeals
The problem is that the ordering matrix has some big entry (after being converted into a matrix with positive entries... Anna Maria Bigatti

It seems that the first two rows are "almost parallel" -- why should that be?
Anyway, it should be easy to reduce th...

17:02 CoCoA-5 Bug #1622: BuiltinOneLiners -- less precise location in error messages
I believe that the error must be clear enough in CoCoALib so that there is no need to intercept (all??) situations li... Anna Maria Bigatti

12:04 CoCoALib Feature #1633: Make polynomial multiplication interruptible?
This is weird. I reverted to the old code because I wanted to confirm that it is not interruptible.
Indeed, it took...

11:50 CoCoALib Feature #1633: Make polynomial multiplication interruptible?
The relevant source code is probably @myMul@ in @SparsePolyOps-RingElem.C@ around line 413.
