This paper presents algorithms for computing the Groebner fan of an arbitrary polynomial ideal. The computation involves enumeration of all reduced Groebner bases of the ideal. Our algorithms are based on a uniform definition of the Groebner fan that applies to both homogeneous and non-homogeneous ideals and a proof that this object is a polyhedral complex. We show that the cells of a Groebner fan can easily be oriented acyclically and with a unique sink, allowing their enumeration by the memory-less reverse search procedure. The significance of this follows from the fact that Groebner fans are not always normal fans of polyhedra in which case reverse search applies automatically. Computational results using our implementation of these algorithms in the software package Gfan are included.
We outline a generalization of the Groebner fan of a homogeneous ideal with maximal cells parametrizing truncated Groebner bases. This "truncated" Groebner fan is usually much smaller than the full Groebner fan and offers the natural framework for conversion between truncated Groebner bases. The generic Groebner walk generalizes naturally to this setting by using the Buchberger algorithm with truncation on facets. We specialize to the setting of lattice ideals. Here facets along the generic walk are given by unique (facet) binomials. This along with the representation of binomials as integer v…
In this paper we describe how an idea centered on the concept of self-saturation allows several improvements in the computation of Groebner bases via Buchberger's Algorithm.
We present an algorithm for computing Groebner bases of vanishing ideals of points that is optimized for the case when the number of points in the associated variety is less than the number of indeterminates. The algorithm first identifies a set of essential variables, which reduces the time complexity with respect to the number of indeterminates, and then uses PLU decompositions to reduce the time complexity with respect to the number of points. This gives a theoretical upper bound for its time complexity that is an order of magnitude lower than the known one for the standard Buchberger-Moell…
We propose an algorithm to compute the GIT-fan for torus actions on affine varieties with symmetries. The algorithm combines computational techniques from commutative algebra, convex geometry and group theory. We have implemented our algorithm in the Singular library gitfan.lib. Using our implementation, we compute the Mori chamber decomposition of the cone of movable divisors of $\bar{M}_{0,6}$.
In this paper we describe an efficient involutive algorithm for constructing Groebner bases of polynomial ideals. The algorithm is based on the concept of involutive monomial division which restricts the conventional division in a certain way. In the presented algorithm a reduced Groebner basis is the internally fixed subset of an involutive basis, and having computed the later, the former can be output without any extra computational costs. We also discuss some accounts of experimental superiority of the involutive algorithm over Buchberger's algorithm.
We give upper bounds for the solving degree and the last fall degree of the polynomial system associated to the HFE (Hidden Field Equations) cryptosystem. Our bounds improve the known bounds for this type of systems. We also present new results on the connection between the solving degree and the last fall degree and prove that, in some cases, the solving degree is independent of coordinate changes.
We introduce a general constructive method to find a p-basis (and the Ulm invariants) of a finite Abelian p-group M. This algorithm is based on Groebner bases theory. We apply this method to determine the additive structure of indecomposable modules over the following Dedeking-like rings: ZCp, where Cp is the cyclic group of order a prime p, and the p-pullback Z --> Zp <-- Z of Z+Z.
This paper presents an algorithm for computing Groebner bases based upon labeled polynomials and ideas from the algorithm F5. The main highlights of this algorithm compared with analogues are simplicity both of the algorithm and of the its correctness proof achieved without loss of the efficiency. This leads to simple implementation which performance is in par with more complex analogues
A contemporary and exciting application of Groebner bases is their use in computational biology, particularly in the reverse engineering of gene regulatory networks from experimental data. In this setting, the data are typically limited to tens of points, while the number of genes or variables is potentially in the thousands. As such data sets vastly underdetermine the biological network, many models may fit the same data and reverse engineering programs often require the use of methods for choosing parsimonious models. Grobner bases have recently been employed as a selection tool for polynomi…
This paper introduces a strategy for signature-based algorithms to compute Groebner basis. The signature-based algorithms generate S-pairs instead of S-polynomials, and use s-reduction instead of the usual reduction used in the Buchberger algorithm. There are two strategies for s-reduction: one is the only-top reduction strategy which is the way that only leading monomials are s-reduced. The other is the full reduction strategy which is the way that all monomials are s-reduced. A new strategy, which we call selective-full strategy, for s-reduction of S-pairs is introduced in this paper. In the…
Faugere's F5 algorithm computes a Groebner basis incrementally, by computing a sequence of (non-reduced) Groebner bases. The authors describe a variant of F5, called F5C, that replaces each intermediate Groebner basis with its reduced Groebner basis. As a result, F5C considers fewer polynomials and performs substantially fewer polynomial reductions, so that it terminates more quickly. We also provide a generalization of Faugere's characterization theorem for Groebner bases.
The theory of Groebner Bases originated in the work of Buchberger and is now considered to be one of the most important and useful areas of symbolic computation. A great deal of effort has been put into improving Buchberger's algorithm for computing a Groebner Basis, and indeed in finding alternative methods of computing Groebner Bases. Two of these methods include the Groebner Walk method and the computation of Involutive Bases. By the mid 1980's, Buchberger's work had been generalised for noncommutative polynomial rings by Bergman and Mora. This thesis provides the corresponding generalisati…
We show how tropical varieties of ideals I over a field K with non-trivial valuation can be traced back to tropical varieties of ideals in R[[t]][x] over some dense subring R in its ring of integers. Moreover, for homogeneous ideals, we present algorithms on how the latter can be computed in finite time, provided that generators are polynomial in t. While doing so, we also comment on the computation of the Groebner polytope structure and p-adic Groebner bases using our framework. All algorithms solely rely on existing standard basis techniques.
We present an effective algorithm for computing the standard cohomology spaces of finitely generated Lie (super) algebras over a commutative field K of characteristic zero. In order to reach explicit representatives of some generators of the quotient space Z^k/B^k of cocycles Z^k modulo coboundaries B^k, we apply Groebner bases techniques (in the appropriate linear setting) and take advantage of their strength. Moreover, when the considered Lie (super) algebras enjoy a grading -- a case which often happens both in representation theory and in differential geometry --, all cohomology spaces Z^k…
One of the main contributions which Volker Weispfenning made to mathematics is related to Groebner bases theory. In this paper we present an algorithm for computing all algebraic intermediate subfields in a separably generated unirational field extension (which in particular includes the zero characteristic case). One of the main tools is Groebner bases theory. Our algorithm also requires computing primitive elements and factoring over algebraic extensions. Moreover, the method can be extended to finitely generated K-algebras.
We generalise the notion of Gröbner fan to ideals in R[[t]][x_1,...,x_n] for certain classes of coefficient rings R and give a constructive proof that the Gröbner fan is a rational polyhedral fan. For this we introduce the notion of initially reduced standard bases and show how these can be computed in finite time. We deduce algorithms for computing the Gröbner fan, implemented in the computer algebra system Singular. The problem is motivated by the wish to compute tropical varieties over the p-adic numbers, which are the intersection of a subfan of a Gröbner fan as studied in this paper by so…
In this paper, we consider parametric ideals and introduce a notion of comprehensive involutive system. This notion plays the same role in theory of involutive bases as the notion of comprehensive Groebner system in theory of Groebner bases. Given a parametric ideal, the space of parameters is decomposed into a finite set of cells. Each cell yields the corresponding involutive basis of the ideal for the values of parameters in that cell. Using the Gerdt-Blinkov algorithm for computing involutive bases and also the Montes algorithm for computing comprehensive Groebner systems, we present an alg…
We present here an overview of the hypermatrix spectral decomposition deduced from the Bhattacharya-Mesner hypermatrix algebra. We describe necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a spectral decomposition. We further extend to hypermatrices the notion of resolution of identity and use them to derive hypermatrix analog of matrix spectral bounds. Finally we describe an algorithm for computing generators of the spectral elimination ideals which considerably improves on Groebner basis computation suggested in.
The goal of this paper is to show that the local Gröbner fan is a polyhedral fan for ideals in the ring of power series and the homogenized ring of analytic differential operators. We will also discuss about relations between the local Gröbner fan and the (global) Gröbner fan for a given ideal and algorithms of computing local Gröbner fans. In rings of differential operators, finiteness and convexity of local Gröbner fans were firstly proved by Assi, Castro-Jiménez and Granger. But they did not prove that they are polyhedral fans.

Ihe first author presented an efficient algorithm for computing involutive (and reduced Groebner) bases. In this paper, we consider a modification of this algorithm which simplifies matters to understand it and to implement. We prove correctness and termination of the modified algorithm and also correctness of the used criteria. The proposed algorithm has been implemented in Maple. We present experimental comparison, via some examples, of performance of the modified algorithm with its original form which has been implemented in Maple too. In doing so, we have taken care to provide uniform impl…
We consider the Rosenfeld-Groebner algorithm for computing a regular decomposition of a radical differential ideal generated by a set of ordinary differential polynomials in n indeterminates. For a set of ordinary differential polynomials F, let M(F) be the sum of maximal orders of differential indeterminates occurring in F. We propose a modification of the Rosenfeld-Groebner algorithm, in which for every intermediate polynomial system F, the bound M(F) is less than or equal to (n-1)!M(G), where G is the initial set of generators of the radical ideal. In particular, the resulting regular syste…
