Symbolic coefficients in polynomial expressions

[vyudu]

Hello! Is there a way to have a polynomial with some symbolic coefficients (like a*x^2 + b*x + c). as an input to the mixed_volume? I am starting with a Symbolics expression but am unsure whether it's possible to convert it to a DynamicPolynomial while keeping the coefficients as symbolic. This would be quite useful for calculations for chemical reaction network steady states.

Apologies in advance if this issue is misplaced, but thought it might be a useful case for this package since I believe the mixed volume doesn't actually depend on the coefficients?

I think all functions that accept a polynomial also accept a matrix representing the support of the polynomial. Usually the conversion is done internally by using the support function. This also accepts the variables of the polynomial which in your a*x^2 + b*x + c example would be just [x].

Ah, I see, thank you!
