IntBasis
Note: A more recent version of the code below
is contained in Maple V release 5, and is available
here.
IntBasis is a maple package which contains a number of algorithms for
computing with algebraic curves.
The purpose of this html page is to give additional documentation
for this package. The main algorithm in IntBasis is
integral_basis. It computes an integral basis of an algebraic function
field using Puiseux expansions. An application is to compute normal
forms for algebraic curves of genus 0 and genus 1.
Version Dec 1995 version of
IntBasis for Maple 5.3.
Additional code "ratpar", date: Jan 3 1996, for rational parametrizations
and a file with test examples .
The new version (Sep 28 1996) of this code, called algcurves.
Available as a
tar.gz file containing the source files
(make .m files out of these, and then the code can be used after the command
with(algcurves) in Maple).
Also available (this takes less time to install)
as a single text file which is more or less just
the concatenation of the source files in the tar.gz file
(to use this just read the file in
Maple). This code works under Maple 5.3 and Maple 5.4, but unfortunately
the help pages only work under Maple 5.3. It will be shipped with the
next release of maple in the package algcurves.
