randomLift -- Get random lift-vectors to produce coherent subdivisions.

Usage:

Lift = randomLift( f, m )
Inputs:
- f, a list, of polynomials
- m, an integer, range of random numbers assigned to vertices of Newton polytopes
Outputs:
- Lift, a list, values of lifting function at the vertices of Newton polytopes

Description

Randomly selects additional coordinates for the list of points whose sub-division is to be determined. Tight coherent mixed sub-divisions (TCMD) determine the admissible sub-modules of the resultant complex required for the Cayley formula: CayleyFormula and mixedSubdivision. To reduce the number of cells in the sub-division, we specify the lift function only at the vertices of the Newton polytopes and not on the entire support set. Randomly chosen liftings almost always result in tight mixed sub-divisions.

i2 : A = QQ[c_1..c_(#flatten supp)];

i3 : R = A[t_1..t_(#(supp#0#0))];
