Description (last modified by Bouillaguet) (diff)
The dimension of an ideal cannot be negative (it would be mathematically incoherent). Yet, in SAGE, it is possible to create Boolean Ideals of dimension -1.....
sage: n=11 sage: R = BooleanPolynomialRing(n, 'x') sage: R2 = PolynomialRing(GF(2), n, 'x') sage: I = ideal([ R(f) for f in sage.rings.ideal.Cyclic(R2, n).gens() ]) sage: I.dimension() -1
In fact, all the BooleanPolynomialIdeal's should have dimension zero. Thus I suggest to overload the dimension() method to just return zero....

Looks good except for one minor detail
TESTS::
# check that Ticket #13155 is solved
should be rewritten as:
TESTS:
Check that :trac:`13155` is solved::
sage: ...
So there's an empty line between :: and the Sage tests (which I believe is required) and it uses the :trac:`foo` directive.

Sorry for being picky but there's still an issue there. The :: indicates that the code block follows (which is then used for doctests. You have two of those one after TESTS and one after the sentence. You need to drop the one after TESTS

I will eventually learn to do this right on the first try... Patch updated.


Agreed!
