upperShadow -- the upper shadow of a subset of a poset

Description

If $S$ is a subset of a poset, then the upper shadow of $S$ is the set of all elements of the poset which cover some element of $S$.

i1 : upperShadow(divisorPoset 12, {2,3})

o1 = {4, 6}

o1 : List
i2 : S = QQ[x,y]/(x^4, y^4)

o2 = S

o2 : QuotientRing
i3 : x = S_0

o3 = x

o3 : S
i4 : y = S_1

o4 = y

o4 : S
i5 : upperShadow(getPoset S, {x^3, x^2*y})

       3    2 2
o5 = {x y, x y }
