| ### A.4.1 Milnor and Tjurina number The Milnor number, resp. the Tjurina number, of a power series f in is respectively where`jacob(f)` is the ideal generated by the partials of `f`. `tjurina(f)` is finite, if and only if `f` has an isolated singularity. The same holds for `milnor(f)` if K has characteristic 0. SINGULAR displays -1 if the dimension is infinite. SINGULAR cannot compute with infinite power series. But it can work in ,the localization of at the maximal ideal .To do this, one has to define a ring with a local monomial ordering such as ds, Ds, ls, ws, Ws (the second letter 's' referring to power 's'eries), or an appropriate matrix ordering. See Monomial orderings for a menu of possible orderings. For theoretical reasons, the vector space dimension computed over the localization ring coincides with the Milnor (resp. Tjurina) number as defined above (in the power series ring). We show in the example below the following: set option `prot` to have a short protocol during standard basis computation define the ring `r1` of characteristic 32003 with variables `x,y,z`, monomial ordering `ds`, series ring (i.e., K[x,y,z] localized at (x,y,z)) list the information about `r1` by typing its name define the integers `a,b,c,t` define a polynomial `f` (depending on `a,b,c,t`) and display it define the jacobian ideal `i` of `f` compute a standard basis of `i` compute the Milnor number (=250) with `vdim` and create and display a string in order to comment the result (text between quotes " "; is a 'string') compute a standard basis of `i+(f)` compute the Tjurina number (=195) with `vdim` then compute the Milnor number (=248) and the Tjurina number (=195) for `t`=1 reset the option to `noprot` See also sing_lib for the library commands for the computation of the Milnor and Tjurina number.
