where <bas> is a
<A HREF=r37_0381.html>groebner</A> basis in the current
term order (see
<A HREF=r37_0352.html>ideal parameters</A>).
<em>gdimension</em> computes the dimension of the ideal
spanned by the given basis and returns the dimension as an integer
number. The Kredel-Weispfenning algorithm is used: the dimension
is the length of the longest independent variable set,
