Let f1, . . . , fp be polynomials in C[x1, . . . , xn] and let D = Dn be the n-th Weyl algebra. The annihilating ideal of fs = f1 1 · · · f sp p in D[s] = D[s1, . . . , sp] is a necessary step for the computation of the Bernstein-Sato ideals of f1, . . . , fp. We point out experimental differences among the efficiency of the available methods to obtain this annihilating ideal and provide some u...
