A NOTE ON MULTIVARIATE POLYNOMIAL DIVISION AND GRÖBNER BASES

Aleksandar T. Lipkovski, Samira Zeada

Matematicki fakultet, Univerzitet u Beogradu, Beograd, Serbia

Abstract: We first present purely combinatorial proofs of two facts: the well-known fact that a monomial ordering must be a well ordering, and the fact (obtained earlier by Buchberger, but not widely known) that the division procedure in the ring of multivariate polynomials over a field terminates even if the division term is not the leading term, but is freely chosen. The latter is then used to introduce a previously unnoted, seemingly weaker, criterion for an ideal basis to be Gröbner, and to suggest a new heuristic approach to Gröbner basis computations.

Classification (MSC2000): 13P10;12Y05;06A07
