## Input Parameters

- field - the `DMField` object

- cellIS - the index set of points over which we want know the invariance

## Output Parameters

- minDegree - the degree of the largest polynomial space contained in the field on each element

- maxDegree - the largest degree of the smallest polynomial space containing the field on any element
