DistributedMultivariatePolynomial which is abbreviated as DMP and HomogeneousDistributedMultivariatePolynomial, which is abbreviated as HDMP, are very similar to MultivariatePolynomial except that they are represented and displayed in a non-recursive manner.
The constructor DMP orders its monomials lexicographically while HDMP orders them by total order refined by reverse lexicographic order.
These constructors are mostly used in Gröbner basis calculations.
Note that we get a different Gröbner basis when we use the HDMP polynomials, as expected.
GeneralDistributedMultivariatePolynomial is somewhat more flexible in the sense that as well as accepting a list of variables to specify the variable ordering, it also takes a predicate on exponent vectors to specify the term ordering. With this polynomial type the user can experiment with the effect of using completely arbitrary term orderings. This flexibility is mostly important for algorithms such as Gr\"{o}bner basis calculations which can be very sensitive to term ordering.
