### 7.3.29 twostd

`Syntax:`
  `twostd(` ideal_expression`)`;
`Type:`
  ideal
`Purpose:`
  returns a left Groebner basis of the two-sided ideal, generated by the input, treated as a set of two-sided generators. see std
`Remark:`
  There are algebras with no two-sided ideals except 0 and the whole algebra (like Weyl algebras).
`Example:`

      LIB "ncalg.lib";
      def U = makeUsl2(); // this algebra is U(sl_2)
      setring U;
      ideal i= e^3, f^3, h^3 - 4*h;
      option(redSB);
      option(redTail);
      ideal I = std(i);
      print(matrix(I)); // print a compact presentation of I
      ==> h3-4h,fh2-2fh,eh2+2eh,2efh-h2-2h,f3,e3
      ideal J = twostd(i);
      // print a compact presentation of J:
      print(matrix(ideal(J[1..6]))); // first 6 gen's
      ==> h3-4h,fh2-2fh,eh2+2eh,f2h-2f2,2efh-h2-2h,e2h+2e2
      print(matrix(ideal(J[7..size(J)]))); // the rest of gen's
      ==> f3,ef2-fh,e2f-eh-2e,e3
      // compute the set of elements present in J but not in I
      ideal K = NF(J,I);
      K = K+0; // simplify K
      print(matrix(K));
      ==> f2h-2f2,e2h+2e2,ef2-fh,e2f-eh-2e
