generalB(List,RingElement) -- global generalized Bernstein-Sato polynomial

Synopsis

Description

Bernstein-Sato polynomial for an arbitrary affine variety was introduced in Budur, Mustata, and Saito ``Bernstein--Sato polynomials of arbitrary varieties''. If the option Exponent is specified, then the m-generalized Bernstein-Sato polynomial is computed. See Berkesch and Leykin ``Algorithms for Bernstein-Sato polynomials and multiplier ideals'' for definitions.

Caveat

The input could be either in a polynomial ring or the Weyl algebra. In the latter case the algebra should not have any central variables and should not be a homogeneous Weyl algebra.
