SCHUBERT
--------

This is a special kind of LISTobjects, the elements of the
list are MONOM objects, where the self part are PERMUTATION
objects, this is like POLYNOM or SCHUR objects.


To access the parts of the object there are the macros and
routines

NAME:
	m_perm_sch
SYNOPSIS:
	INT m_perm_sch(OP perm, res)
DESCRIPTION:
	build out of a PERMUTATION object perm,
	a SCHUBERT object res, which is labeled by a copy
	of the permutation and which has coefficient 1.
	Compare this with the functions m_pa_s, which
	does the same for SCHUR objects.

COMMENT:
As the Schubertpolynomials form a basis of the ring of polynomials
in several variables there are routines for the change
of basis

NAME:
	t_POLYNOM_SCHUBERT
SYNOPSIS:
	INT t_POLYNOM_SCHUBERT(OP a,b)
DESCRIPTION:
	you enter a POLYNOM object a and the result is
        the corresponding SCHUBERT object b. The variables a and b
	may be equal.

NAME:
	t_SCHUBERT_POLYNOM
SYNOPSIS:
	INT t_SCHUBERT_POLYNOM(OP a,b)
DESCRIPTION:
	you enter a SCHUBERT object a and the result is
        the corresponding POLYNOM object b.


NAME:
	divdiff_perm_schubert
SYNOPSIS:
	INT divdiff_perm_schubert(OP perm,sb,res)
DESCRIPTION:
	applys the divided difference operator labeled by
	the PERMUTATION object perm on the SCHUBERT object sb.
	The result is a new SCHUBERT object res.
	Better us the general routine divdiff.


COMMENT:
As Schubert polynomials are objects labeled by PERMUTATION objects
it is natural to have the following routines

NAME:
	m_lehmer_schubert_monom_summe
SYNOPSIS:
	INT m_lehmer_schubert_monom_summe(OP a,b)
DESCRIPTION:
	you enter a VECTOR object, which is a Lehmer code
        (cf. PERMUTATION)  and the output is a POLYNOMobject b,
        which is the Schubert polynom, labeled by the permutation
        given by the Lehmer code.

NAME:
	 m_perm_schubert_monom_summe
SYNOPSIS:
	    INT m_perm_schubert_monom_summe(OP a,b)
DESCRIPTION:
	  you enter the
        PERMUTATION object a which labels the Schubert polynomial,
        the output is the POLYNOM object b.

NAME:
	        m_perm_2schubert_monom_summe
SYNOPSIS:
	      INT m_perm_2schubert_monom_summe(OP a,b)
DESCRIPTION:
	   this routine computes the double schubert monomial
	coreesponding to the
        PERMUTATION object a which labeles the Schubert polynomial,
        the output is the POLYNOM object b. The self part of this
	POLYNOM object is to be interpreted as follows:
		position 0 is the exponent of the factor (x_1 - y_1)
		position 1 is the exponent of the factor (x_1 - y_2)
		position 2 is the exponent of the factor (x_2 - y_1)
		position 3 is the exponent of the factor (x_1 - y_3)
		position 4 is the exponent of the factor (x_2 - y_2)
		position 5 is the exponent of the factor (x_3 - y_1)
		...
	as an example look at the output of the permutation 2 3 4 1
	it is the polynomial 1 [1,0,1,0,0,1] this is the product
	(x_1 - y_1)(x_2 - y_1)(x_3 - y_1)

NAME:
	m_perm_2schubert_operating_monom_summe
SYNOPSIS:
	INT m_perm_2schubert_operating_monom_summe(OP a,b,c)
DESCRIPTION:
	computes the double Schubert polynomial indexed by
	the PERMUTATION object a, and substitutes the second alphabet
	by the permuted first alphabet (the permutation is given by
	the PERMUTATION object b)
	The result is a POLYNOM object (the monomial expansion)

NAME:
	    m_perm_schubert_qpolynom
SYNOPSIS:
	      INT m_perm_schubert_qpolynom(OP a,b)
DESCRIPTION:
	   as the routine m_perm_schubert_monom_summe, but you
        specify the alphabet a,b,c,... of the result as follows
        a->q^0 b->q^1 c->q^2 ... So the result is a POLYNOM object b
        in the alphabet of one variable.

NAME:
	        m_perm_schubert_dimension
SYNOPSIS:
	      INT m_perm_schubert_dimension(OP a,b)
DESCRIPTION:
	   as the routine m_perm_schubert_monom_summe, but you
        specify the alphabet a,b,c,... of the result as follows
        a->1 b->1 c->1 ... So the result is a INTEGER object b.

NAME:
	        m_i_schubert
SYNOPSIS:
	      INT m_i_schubert(INT a; OP b)
DESCRIPTION:
	   transform the INTEGER object a to a SCHUBERT object b,
	where a is the koeffizent of the identity permutation.
RETURN:
	        OK;

NAME:
			t_2SCHUBERT_POLYNOM
SYNOPSIS:
		INT t_2SCHUBERT_POLYNOM(OP a,b)
DESCRIPTION:
		to transfer the special POLYNOM object a, whose
	format was described in m_perm_2schubert_monom_summe, into
	an ordinary POLYNOM object, whose self part is a MATRIX object
	with two rows. (to code the 2 sets of variables)

NAME:
			 eval_2schubert
SYNOPSIS:
		INT eval_2schubert(OP a,vec,b)
DESCRIPTION:
		this routine specialices the second set of variables
	of double schubert polynomial a (this is a POLYNOM object
	in two sets of variables = result of the function  t_2SCHUBERT_POLYNOM)
	so you have to enter a VECTOR object vec which contains the
	values which should replace the variables of the second set.
	See also the function eval_polynom which has a simliar syntax.
EXAMPLE:

NAME:
		exchange_alphabets
SYNOPSIS:
	INT exchange_alphabets(OP a,b)
DESCRIPTION:
		this routine exchanges the two sets of variables in a
	POLYNOM object a, which should be the result of a earlier call
	to t_2SCHUBERT_POLYNOM. The result is the POLYNOM object b

NAME:
	        test_schubert
SYNOPSIS:
	     INT test_schubert()
DESCRIPTION:
	   tests the installation

NAME:
			tex_2schubert_monom_summe
SYNOPSIS:
		INT tex_2schubert_monom_summe(OP a)
DESCRIPTION:
		this is to provide a  TeX output of the POLYNOM
	object which was described in m_perm_2schubert_monom_summe.


NAME:
	        println_schub_lehmer
SYNOPSIS:
	      INT println_schub_lehmer(OP schub)
DESCRIPTION:
	   prints a SCHUBERT object schub to stdout, but instead
        of the permutations it prints the Lehmer code of the permutations,
        which label one Schubert polynomial.

NAME:
        outerproduct_schubert
SYNOPSIS:
        INT outerproduct_schubert(OP perma,permb,result)
DESCRIPTION:
        you enter two PERMUTATION objects, and the result is
        a SCHUBERT object, which is the expansion of the product
        of the two schubertpolynomials, labbeled by
        the two PERMUTATION objects perma and permb.
