# PolynomialIdeal(F, Expon, VarSet, DPoly)¶

This domain represents polynomial ideals with coefficients in any field and supports the basic ideal operations, including intersection, sum and quotient. An ideal is represented by a list of polynomials (the generators of the ideal) and a boolean that is true if the generators are a Groebner basis. The algorithms used are based on Groebner basis computations. The ordering is determined by the datatype of the input polynomials. Users may use refinements of total degree orderings.
