Description

I suggest making the manual entry for RandomLinearForm more explicit, now that we have HomogCompt which respects weighted degrees.

History

#1 Updated by John Abbott about 4 years ago

  • Status changed from New to In Progress
  • % Done changed from 0 to 10

Robbiano requested the new function LinearForm (see #1439), and clearly had in mind that it should be linear wrt the weighted degrees.

After some consideration I implemented HomogCompt (see #1439 again).

Now looking for "linearform" in the manual gives the page for RandomLinearForm, a function which ignores the weighted degrees!

I think that page should have a "see also" referring to HomogCompt, and the description should make it clear that the weights are ignored.

What do you think?

#2 Updated by John Abbott about 4 years ago

I have just checked in a (very) minor update to the man page for RandomLinearForm.
I have added a see-also to HomogCompt.

Is this issue now resolved satisfactorily?
I guess so. If so, close it!

  • Status changed from In Progress to Closed

The new fn HomogCompt seems to have solved the problem (provided the grading dim is 1).
I'll update the manual.
Closing.
