### 5.1.141 sres

`Syntax:`
  `sres (` ideal_expression`,` int_expression `)`
  `sres (` module_expression`,` int_expression `)`
`Type:`
  resolution
`Purpose:`
  computes a free resolution of an ideal or module with Schreyer's method. The ideal, resp. module, has to be a standard basis. More precisely, let M be given by a standard basis and .Then `sres` computes a free resolution of

  If the int expression k is not zero then the computation stops after k steps and returns a list of modules (given by standard bases) , i=1..k.
  `sres(M,0)` returns a list of n modules where n is the number of variables of the basering.

  Even if `sres` does not compute a minimal resolution, the `betti` command gives the true betti numbers! In many cases of interest `sres` is much faster than any other known method. Let `list L=sres(M,0);` then `L[1]=M` is identical to the input, `L[2]` is a standard basis with respect to the Schreyer ordering of the first syzygy module of `L[1]`, etc. ( in the notations from above.)

`Note:`
  Accessing single elements of a resolution may require some partial computations to be finished and may therefore take some time.
`Example:`

        ring r=31991,(t,x,y,z,w),ls;
        ideal M=t2x2+tx2y+x2yz,t2y2+ty2z+y2zw,
                t2z2+tz2w+xz2w,t2w2+txw2+xyw2;
        M=std(M);
        resolution L=sres(M,0);
        L;
