WeierstrassSemigroups -- Compute smoothing families for Weierstrass semigroups

Description

This package contains methods to compute one parameter, positively graded smoothing families over QQ for certain numerical semigroup rings. By Pinkham's Theorem a semigroup is a Weierstrass semigroup if and only if the semigroup ring has a graded smoothing in negative T^1 directions.
