I prefer minimalize
to be made obsolescent; instead one should use I := IdealOfMinGens(I)
which is longer to write, but also clearer (in my opinion). Actually I presume the correct way to call minimalize
is with a reference parameter, like this minimialize(ref I)
.
This does assume that IdealOfMinGens
will preserve as much information as possible when it creates the new ideal.

Trying to "save" it and postponing it, I wasted time.
I realized that the CoCoALib function myMinimalize
is just a member function.
So, keeping minimalize
in CoCoA-5 (after removing minimalized
) was not as compatible with CoCoALib as I had imagined.
Moreover it was actually hard to do and intrisically inefficient, so I made it obsolescent.
John will be pleased ;-)
