Scans values of a HashTable H and retains only those whose initial terms are minimal generators of the ideal (leadTerm f : f in values H). If values H constitute a Groebner basis of the ideal they generate, this method returns a minimal Groebner basis.

Polynomials are normalized so that the leading coefficient is 1. Note that keys of non-minimal entries are retained, and the corresponding table value is null.
The object minimalize is a method function.
