dispersion,integerDistances


\begin{usage}
dispersion~p\\ dispersion(p, q)\\
integerDistances~p\\ integerDistances(p, q)
\end{usage}

\begin{signatures}
dispersion: & \% $\to$\ \htmlref{\texttt{Integer}}{Integer}...
...f{\texttt{List}}{List} \htmlref{\texttt{Integer}}{Integer}\\\end{signatures}

\begin{params}
{\em p} & \% & A nonzero polynomial\\
{\em q} & \% & A nonzero polynomial (optional)\\\end{params}

\begin{retval}
integerDistances(p, q) returns
all the integers $e \in {\mathbbm...
...ictly smaller than $0$,
its maximal nonnegative element otherwise.
\end{retval}

\begin{remarks}
The parameter $q$\ is optional for both functions,
its default value being $p$.
