Computing versal deformations with SINGULAR

From MaRDI portal





The paper describes an algorithm for computing a miniversal (= minimal versal) deformation of an isolated singularity, using Laudal's Massey products [see \textit{O. A. Laudal}, ``Formal moduli of algebraic structures, Lect. Notes Math. 754 (1979; Zbl 0438.14007) and in: Algebra, algebraic topology and their interactions, Proc. Conf., Stockholm 1983, Lect. Notes Math. 1183, 218-240 (1986; Zbl 0597.14010)]; the algorithm only terminates in good cases, which, however, include many cases of interest. Condensed proofs of the main theorems needed, together with details of an implementation in the computer algebra system SINGULAR, are given. There are a lot of misprints, none serious. SINGULAR (including a library containing the routines described in this paper) is available from \url{http://www.singular.uni-kl.de}. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00035].
