Ring of formal power series in Macaulay2

643 Views Asked by At

How does one define the ring $\mathbb{C}[[x,y]]$ of formal power series in two variables over $\mathbb{C}$ in Macaulay2? Or Singular? I have seen some papers that claim to perform calculations in Macaulay2 with modules over formal power series rings, but they do not explain how.

@Ashwin,

As mentioned by David Eisenbud on the Mark's link, Singular is optimised for local ordering.

In Singular you can define something called as local ordering. For example, the following Singular code might help you:

ring r = 0, (x,y,z), ds;

For more details and examples, have a look at Singular help.

Hope this helps!
