Ideal Theory and Gröbner Bases


New Features:

  • The pair handling in the F4 algorithm has been improved, leading to speedups in computing Groebner bases for some inputs.
  • The new parameter ReversePairs has been introduced for Groebner and related functions. It is relevant when setting PairsLimit to a particular value, so as to choose the subset of pairs in opposite order rather than by default.
  • The intrinsic ColonIdeal is now much faster for certain inputs.
  • New function MinimalDecomposition to minimize a decomposition of an ideal.
  • The function AbsoluteAlgebra now accepts affine algebras over finite fields.
  • New function RegularSequence computes a maximal regular sequence in an ideal of a polynomial ring over a field. The algorithm used is that of Eisenbud and Sturmfels. It is designed to produce a sequence of reasonably sparse polynomials.
  • New function ReesIdeal. For an ideal I of an affine algebra R, given by an ideal in the polynomial ring of which R is a quotient, this function returns a polynomial ideal J whose quotient algebra is isomorphic to the Rees algebra R(I) of I over R. There is also a ``flattening" option that quotients out by a-torsion for a a given non-zero divisor of R.
