A package for computations with classical resultants (Q1755194): Difference between revisions

This paper introduces the Macaulay2 package Resultants, a package for computation with resultants, discriminants, and Chow forms. \par Resultants are undoubtedly an essential tool in Computer Algebra and they appear in many applications since their importance in Elimination Theory. In the paper, Section 1 briefly recalls well known facts on the theory of multivariate resultants. In this section, the reader could find the most important references in this domain. Section 2 introduces the package and illustrates how to use it with the help of some examples. The algorithms implemented for computing resultants are the Poisson formula (by default, Theorem 1.7) and the Macaulay formula (Theorem 1.8). \par One can find all functions and commands of this package on the following website: \url{https://faculty.math.illinois.edu/Macaulay2/doc/Macaulay2-1.13/share/doc/Macaulay2/Resultants/html/index.html}.
