Hi! A part of my current project involves the computation of the Hilbert Poincaré series of a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring with degree weights on the generators.
Good: Singular can compute it in principle. Bad: In some of my examples, the coefficients are big, and so Singular gives up and raises an int overflow. Good: When I implemented the algorithm outlined in chapter 5 of "A Singular introduction to commutative algebra" [Greuel and Pfister] in Sage, I was able to compute some of the bigint examples. Bad: In other examples, the algorithm exceeds the permitted recursion depth. Good: There are strategies to reduce the recursion depth of the algorithm by doing more careful choices in some places -- see for example "Computation of Hilbert-Poincaré series" by Anna Bigatti (J. Pure and Applied Algebra 119, 237-253, 1997). Bad: I'd prefer not to implement it myself, if possible. So, the question is: Can I avoid to implement it myself? Can you point me to something in Sage that can compute Hilbert Poincaré series better than Singular?
