\section{Groebner package} \begin{Introduction}{Groebner bases} The GROEBNER package calculates \nameindex{Groebner bases} using the \nameindex{Buchberger algorithm} and provides related algorithms for arithmetic with ideal bases, such as ideal quotients, Hilbert polynomials (\nameindex{Hollmann algorithm}), basis conversion ( \nameindex{Faugere-Gianni-Lazard-Mora algorithm}), independent variable set (\nameindex{Kredel-Weispfenning algorithm}). Some routines of the Groebner package are used by \nameref{solve} - in that context the package is loaded automatically. However, if you want to use the package by explicit calls you must load it by \begin{verbatim} load_package groebner; \end{verbatim} For the common parameter setting of most operators in this package see \nameref{ideal parameters}. \end{Introduction} \begin{Concept}{Ideal Parameters} \index{polynomial} Most operators of the \name{Groebner} package compute expressions in a polynomial ring which given as \meta{R}[\meta{var},\meta{var},...] where \meta{R} is the current REDUCE coefficient domain. All algebraically exact domains of REDUCE are supported. The package can operate over rings and fields. The operation mode is distinguished automatically. In general the ring mode is a bit faster than the field mode. The factoring variant can be applied only over domains which allow you factoring of multivariate polynomials. The variable sequence \meta{var} is either declared explicitly as argument in form of a \nameref{list} in \nameref{torder}, or it is extracted automatically from the expressions. In the second case the current REDUCE system order is used (see \nameref{korder}) for arranging the variables. If some kernels should play the role of formal parameters (the ground domain \meta{R} then is the polynomial ring over these), the variable sequences must be given explicitly. All REDUCE \nameref{kernel}s can be used as variables. But please note, that all variables are considered as independent. E.g. when using \name{sin(a)} and \name{cos(a)} as variables, the basic relation \name{sin(a)^2+cos(a)^2-1=0} must be explicitly added to an equation set because the Groebner operators don't include such knowledge automatically. The terms (monomials) in polynomials are arranged according to the current \nameref{term order}. Note that the algebraic properties of the computed results only are valid as long as neither the ordering nor the variable sequence changes. The input expressions \meta{exp} can be polynomials \meta{p}, rational functions \meta{n}/\meta{d} or equations \meta{lh}=\meta{rh} built from polynomials or rational functions. Apart from the \name{tracing} algorithms \nameref{groebnert} and \nameref{preducet}, where the equations have a specific meaning, equations are converted to simple expressions by taking the difference of the left-hand and right-hand sides \meta{lh}-\meta{rh}=>\meta{p}. Rational functions are converted to polynomials by converting the expression to a common denominator form first, and then using the numerator only \meta{n}=>\meta{p}. So eventual zeros of the denominators are ignored. A basis on input or output of an algorithm is coded as \nameref{list} of expressions \{\meta{exp},\meta{exp},...\} . \end{Concept} %----------------------------------------------------------------- \subsection{Term order} %----------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Introduction}{Term order} \index{distributive polynomials} For all \name{Groebner} operations the polynomials are represented in distributive form: a sum of terms (monomials). The terms are ordered corresponding to the actual \name{term order} which is set by the \nameref{torder} operator, and to the actual variable sequence which is either given as explicit parameter or by the system \nameref{kernel} order. \end{Introduction} \begin{Operator}{torder} The operator \name{torder} sets the actual variable sequence and term order. 1. simple term order: \begin{Syntax} \name{torder}\(\meta{vl}, \meta{m}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{vl} is a \nameref{list} of variables (\nameref{kernel}s) and \meta{m} is the name of a simple \nameref{term order} mode \ref{lex term order}, \ref{gradlex term order}, \ref{revgradlex term order} or another implemented parameterless mode. 2. stepped term order: \begin{Syntax} \name{torder} \(\meta{vl},\meta{m},\meta{n}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{m} is the name of a two step term order, one of \nameref{gradlexgradlex term order}, \nameref{gradlexrevgradlex term order}, \nameref{lexgradlex term order} or \nameref{lexrevgradlex term order}, and \meta{n} is a positive integer. 3. weighted term order \begin{Syntax} \name{torder} \(\meta{vl}, \name{weighted}, \meta{n},\meta{n},...\); \end{Syntax} where the \meta{n} are positive integers, see \nameref{weighted term order}. 4. matrix term order \begin{Syntax} \name{torder} \(\meta{vl}, \name{matrix}, \meta{m}\); \end{Syntax} where \meta{m} is a matrix with integer elements, see \nameref{torder_compile}. 5. compiled term order \begin{Syntax} \name{torder} \(\meta{vl}, \name{co}\); \end{Syntax} where \meta{co} is the name of a routine generated by \nameref{torder_compile}. \name{torder} sets the variable sequence and the term order mode. If the an empty list is used as variable sequence, the automatic variable extraction is activated. The defaults are the empty variable list an the \nameref{lex term order}. The previous setting is returned as a list. Alternatively to the above syntax the arguments of \name{torder} may be collected in a \nameref{list} and passed as one argument to \name{torder}. \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Operator}{torder_compile} \index{term order} A matrix can be converted into a compilable LISP program for faster execution by using \begin{Syntax} \name{torder\_compile}\(\meta{name},\meta{mat}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{name} is an identifier for the new term order and \meta{mat} is an integer matrix to be used as \nameref{matrix term order}. Afterwards the term order can be activated by using \meta{name} in a \nameref{torder} expression. The resulting program is compiled if the switch \nameref{comp} is on, or if the \name{torder\_compile} expression is part of a compiled module. \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{lex term order} \index{term order}\index{variable elimination} The terms are ordered lexicographically: two terms t1 t2 are compared for their degrees along the fixed variable sequence: t1 is higher than t2 if the first different degree is higher in t1. This order has the \name{elimination property} for \name{groebner basis} calculations. If the ideal has a univariate polynomial in the last variable the groebner basis will contain such polynomial. \name{Lex} is best suited for solving of polynomial equation systems. \end{Concept} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{gradlex term order} \index{term order} The terms are ordered first with their total degree, and if the total degree is identical the comparison is \nameref{lex term order}. With \name{groebner} basis calculations this term order produces polynomials of lowest degree. \end{Concept} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{revgradlex term order} \index{term order} The terms are ordered first with their total degree (degree sum), and if the total degree is identical the comparison is the inverse of \nameref{lex term order}. With \nameref{groebner} and \nameref{groebnerf} calculations this term order is similar to \nameref{gradlex term order}; it is known as most efficient ordering with respect to computing time. \end{Concept} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{gradlexgradlex term order} \index{term order} The terms are separated into two groups where the second parameter of the \nameref{torder} call determines the length of the first group. For a comparison first the total degrees of both variable groups are compared. If both are equal \nameref{gradlex term order} comparison is applied to the first group, and if that does not decide \nameref{gradlex term order} is applied for the second group. This order has the elimination property for the variable groups. It can be used e.g. for separating variables from parameters. \end{Concept} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{gradlexrevgradlex term order} \index{term order} Similar to \nameref{gradlexgradlex term order}, but using \nameref{revgradlex term order} for the second group. \end{Concept} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{lexgradlex term order} \index{term order} Similar to \nameref{gradlexgradlex term order}, but using \nameref{lex term order} for the first group. \end{Concept} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{lexrevgradlex term order} \index{term order} Similar to \nameref{gradlexgradlex term order}, but using \nameref{lex term order} for the first group \nameref{revgradlex term order} for the second group. \end{Concept} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{weighted term order} \index{term order} establishes a graduated ordering similar to \nameref{gradlex term order}, where the exponents first are multiplied by the given weights. If there are less weight values than variables, the weight list is extended by ones. If the weighted degree comparison is not decidable, the \nameref{lex term order} is used. \end{Concept} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{graded term order} \index{term order} establishes a cascaded term ordering: first a graduated ordering similar to \nameref{gradlex term order} is used, where the exponents first are multiplied by the given weights. If there are less weight values than variables, the weight list is extended by ones. If the weighted degree comparison is not decidable, the term ordering described in the following parameters of the \nameref{torder} command is used. \end{Concept} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{matrix term order} \index{term order} Any arbitrary term order mode can be installed by a matrix with integer elements where the row length corresponds to the variable number. The matrix must have at least as many rows as columns. It must have full rank, and the top nonzero element of each column must be positive. The matrix \name{term order mode} defines a term order where the exponent vectors of the monomials are first multiplied by the matrix and the resulting vectors are compared lexicographically. If the switch \nameref{comp} is on, the matrix is converted into a compiled LISP program for faster execution. A matrix can also be compiled explicitly, see \nameref{torder_compile}. \end{Concept} %--------------------------------------------------------------- %------------------------------------------------------------ \subsection{Basic Groebner operators} %------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{gvars} \begin{Syntax} \name{gvars}\(\{\meta{exp},\meta{exp},... \}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{exp} are expressions or \nameref{equation}s. \name{gvars} extracts from the expressions the \nameref{kernel}\name{s} which can play the role of variables for a \nameref{groebner} or \nameref{groebnerf} calculation. \end{Operator} %--------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{groebner} \index{Buchberger algorithm} \begin{Syntax} \name{groebner}\(\{\name{exp}, ...\}\) \end{Syntax} where \{\name{exp}, ... \} is a list of expressions or equations. The operator \name{groebner} implements the Buchberger algorithm for computing Groebner bases for a given set of expressions with respect to the given set of variables in the order given. As a side effect, the sequence of variables is stored as a REDUCE list in the shared variable \nameref{gvarslast} - this is important in cases where the algorithm rearranges the variable sequence because \nameref{groebopt} is \name{on}. \begin{Examples} groebner({x**2+y**2-1,x-y}) & \{X - Y,2*Y**2 -1\} \end{Examples} \begin{Related} \item[ \nameref{groebnerf} operator] \item[ \nameref{gvarslast} variable] \item[ \nameref{groebopt} switch] \item[ \nameref{groebprereduce} switch] \item[ \nameref{groebfullreduction} switch] \item[ \nameref{gltbasis} switch] \item[ \nameref{gltb} variable] \item[ \nameref{glterms} variable] \item[ \nameref{groebstat} switch] \item[ \nameref{trgroeb} switch] \item[ \nameref{trgroebs} switch] \item[ \nameref{groebprot} switch] \item[ \nameref{groebprotfile} variable] \item[ \nameref{groebnert} operator] \end{Related} \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{groebner\_walk} The operator \name{groebner\_walk} computes a \nameref{lex} basis from a given \nameref{graded} (or \nameref{weighted}) one. \begin{Syntax} \name{groebner\_walk}\(\meta{g}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{g} is a \nameref{graded} basis (or \nameref{weighted} basis with a weight vector with one repeated element) of the polynomial ideal. \name{Groebner\_walk} computes a sequence of monomial bases, each time lifting the full system to a complete basis. \name{Groebner\_walk} should be called only in cases, where a normal \nameref{kex} computation would take too much computer time. The operator \nameref{torder} has to be called before in order to define the variable sequence and the term order mode of \meta{g}. The variable \nameref{gvarslast} is not set. Do not call \name{groebner\_walk} with \name{on} \nameref{groebopt}. \name{Groebner\_walk} includes some overhead (such as e. g. computation with division). On the other hand, sometimes \name{groebner\_walk} is faster than a direct \nameref{lex} computation. \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Switch}{groebopt} If \name{groebopt} is set ON, the sequence of variables is optimized with respect to execution speed of \name{groebner} calculations; note that the final list of variables is available in \nameref{gvarslast}. By default \name{groebopt} is off, conserving the original variable sequence. An explicitly declared dependency using the \nameref{depend} declaration supersedes the variable optimization. \begin{Examples} depend a, x, y; \end{Examples} guarantees that a will be placed in front of x and y. \end{Switch} %------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Variable}{gvarslast} After a \nameref{groebner} or \nameref{groebnerf} calculation the actual variable sequence is stored in the variable \name{gvarslast}. If \nameref{groebopt} is \name{on} \name{gvarslast} shows the variable sequence after reordering. \end{Variable} %-------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Switch}{groebprereduce} If \name{groebprereduce} set ON, \nameref{groebner} and \nameref{groebnerf} try to simplify the input expressions: if the head term of an input expression is a multiple of the head term of another expression, it can be reduced; these reductions are done cyclicly as long as possible in order to shorten the main part of the algorithm. By default \name{groebprereduce} is off. \end{Switch} %--------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Switch}{groebfullreduction} If \name{groebfullreduction} set off, the polynomial reduction steps during \nameref{groebner} and \nameref{groebnerf} are limited to the pure head term reduction; subsequent terms are reduced otherwise. By default \name{groebfullreduction} is on. \end{Switch} %---------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Switch}{gltbasis} If \name{gltbasis} set on, the leading terms of the result basis of a \nameref{groebner} or \nameref{groebnerf} calculation are extracted. They are collected as a basis of monomials, which is available as value of the global variable \nameref{gltb}. \end{Switch} %------------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Variable}{gltb} See \nameref{gltbasis} \end{Variable} %------------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Variable}{glterms} If the expressions in a \nameref{groebner} or \nameref{groebnerf} call contain parameters (symbols which are not member of the variable list), the share variable \name{glterms} is set to a list of expression which during the calculation were assumed to be nonzero. The calculated bases are valid only under the assumption that all these expressions do not vanish. \end{Variable} %----------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Switch}{groebstat} if \name{groebstat} is on, a summary of the \nameref{groebner} or \nameref{groebnerf} computation is printed at the end including the computing time, the number of intermediate H polynomials and the counters for the criteria hits. \end{Switch} %----------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Switch}{trgroeb} if \name{trgroeb} is on, intermediate H polynomials are printed during a \nameref{groebner} or \nameref{groebnerf} calculation. \end{Switch} %----------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Switch}{trgroebs} if \name{trgroebs} is on, intermediate H and S polynomials are printed during a \nameref{groebner} or \nameref{groebnerf} calculation. \end{Switch} %----------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{gzerodim?} \begin{Syntax} \name{gzerodim!?}\(\meta{basis}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{bas} is a Groebner basis in the current \nameref{term order} with the actual setting (see \nameref{ideal parameters}). \name{gzerodim!?} tests whether the ideal spanned by the given basis has dimension zero. If yes, the number of zeros is returned, \nameref{nil} otherwise. \end{Operator} %--------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{gdimension} \index{ideal dimension}\index{groebner} \begin{Syntax} \name{gdimension}\(\meta{bas}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{bas} is a \nameref{groebner} basis in the current term order (see \nameref{ideal parameters}). \name{gdimension} computes the dimension of the ideal spanned by the given basis and returns the dimension as an integer number. The Kredel-Weispfenning algorithm is used: the dimension is the length of the longest independent variable set, see \nameref{gindependent\_sets} \end{Operator} %--------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{gindependent\_sets} \index{ideal variables}\index{ideal dimension}\index{groebner} \index{Kredel-Weispfenning algorithm} \begin{Syntax} \name{gindependent\_sets}\(\meta{bas}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{bas} is a \nameref{groebner} basis in any \name{term order} (which must be the current \name{term order}) with the specified variables (see \nameref{ideal parameters}). \name{Gindependent_sets} computes the maximal left independent variable sets of the ideal, that are the variable sets which play the role of free parameters in the current ideal basis. Each set is a list which is a subset of the variable list. The result is a list of these sets. For an ideal with dimension zero the list is empty. The Kredel-Weispfenning algorithm is used. \end{Operator} %-------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{dd_groebner} For a homogeneous system of polynomials under \nameref{graded term order}, \nameref{gradlex term order}, \nameref{revgradlex term order} or \nameref{weighted term order} a Groebner Base can be computed with limiting the grade of the intermediate S polynomials: \begin{Syntax} \name{dd_groebner}\(\meta{d1},\meta{d2},\meta{plist}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{d1} is a non negative integer and \meta{d2} is an integer or ``infinity". A pair of polynomials is considered only if the grade of the lcm of their head terms is between \meta{d1} and \meta{d2}. For the term orders \name{graded} or \name{weighted} the (first) weight vector is used for the grade computation. Otherwise the total degree of a term is used. \end{Operator} %-------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{glexconvert} \index{ideal variables}\index{term order} \begin{Syntax} \name{glexconvert}\(\meta{bas}[,\meta{vars}][,MAXDEG=\meta{mx}] [,NEWVARS=\meta{nv}]\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{bas} is a \nameref{groebner} basis in the current term order, \meta{mx} (optional) is a positive integer and \meta{nvl} (optional) is a list of variables (see \nameref{ideal parameters}). The operator \name{glexconvert} converts the basis of a zero-dimensional ideal (finite number of isolated solutions) from arbitrary ordering into a basis under \nameref{lex term order}. The parameter \meta{newvars} defines the new variable sequence. If omitted, the original variable sequence is used. If only a subset of variables is specified here, the partial ideal basis is evaluated. If \meta{newvars} is a list with one element, the minimal \nameindex{univariate polynomial} is computed. \meta{maxdeg} is an upper limit for the degrees. The algorithm stops with an error message, if this limit is reached. A warning occurs, if the ideal is not zero dimensional. \begin{Comments} During the call the \name{term order} of the input basis must be active. \end{Comments} \end{Operator} %-------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{greduce} \begin{Syntax} \name{greduce}\(exp, \{exp1, exp2, \ldots , expm\}\) \end{Syntax} where exp is an expression, and \{exp1, exp2, ... , expm\} is a list of expressions or equations. \name{greduce} is functionally equivalent with a call to \nameref{groebner} and then a call to \nameref{preduce}. \end{Operator} %--------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{preduce} \begin{Syntax} \name{preduce}\(\meta{p}, \{\meta{exp}, \ldots \}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{p} is an expression, and \{\meta{exp}, ... \} is a list of expressions or equations. \name{Preduce} computes the remainder of \name{exp} modulo the given set of polynomials resp. equations. This result is unique (canonical) only if the given set is a \name{groebner} basis under the current \nameref{term order} see also: \nameref{preducet} operator. \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{idealquotient} \begin{Syntax} \name{idealquotient}\(\{\meta{exp}, ...\}, \meta{d}\) \end{Syntax} where \{\meta{exp},...\} is a list of expressions or equations, \meta{d} is a single expression or equation. \name{Idealquotient} computes the ideal quotient: ideal spanned by the expressions \{\meta{exp},...\} divided by the single polynomial/expression \meta{f}. The result is the \nameref{groebner} basis of the quotient ideal. \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{hilbertpolynomial} \index{Hollmann algorithm} \begin{Syntax} hilbertpolynomial\(\meta{bas}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{bas} is a \nameref{groebner} basis in the current \nameref{term order}. The degree of the \name{Hilbert polynomial} is the dimension of the ideal spanned by the basis. For an ideal of dimension zero the Hilbert polynomial is a constant which is the number of common zeros of the ideal (including eventual multiplicities). The \name{Hollmann algorithm} is used. \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{saturation} \begin{Syntax} \name{saturation}\(\{\meta{exp}, ...\}, \meta{p}\) \end{Syntax} where \{\meta{exp},...\} is a list of expressions or equations, \meta{p} is a single polynomial. \name{Saturation} computes the quotient of the polynomial \meta{p} and a power (with unknown but finite exponent) of the ideal built from \{\meta{exp}, ...\}. The result is the computed quotient. \name{Saturation} calls \nameref{idealquotient} several times until the result does not change any more. \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------------------------- \subsection{Factorizing Groebner bases} %------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{groebnerf} \begin{Syntax} \name{groebnerf}\(\{\meta{exp}, ...\}[,\{\},\{\meta{nz}, ... \}]\); \end{Syntax} where \{\meta{exp}, ... \} is a list of expressions or equations, and \{\meta{nz},... \} is an optional list of polynomials to be considered as non zero for this calculation. An empty list must be passed as second argument if the non-zero list is specified. \name{groebnerf} tries to separate polynomials into individual factors and to branch the computation in a recursive manner (factorization tree). The result is a list of partial Groebner bases. Multiplicities (one factor with a higher power, the same partial basis twice) are deleted as early as possible in order to speed up the calculation. The third parameter of \name{groebnerf} declares some polynomials nonzero. If any of these is found in a branch of the calculation the branch is canceled. \begin{Bigexample} groebnerf({ 3*x**2*y+2*x*y+y+9*x**2+5*x = 3, 2*x**3*y-x*y-y+6*x**3-2*x**2-3*x = -3, x**3*y+x**2*y+3*x**3+2*x**2 }, {y,x}); {{Y - 3,X}, 2 {2*Y + 2*X - 1,2*X - 5*X - 5}} \end{Bigexample} \begin{Related} \item[ \nameref{groebresmax} variable] \item[ \nameref{groebmonfac} variable] \item[ \nameref{groebrestriction} variable] \item[ \nameref{groebner} operator] \item[ \nameref{gvarslast} variable] \item[ \nameref{groebopt} switch] \item[ \nameref{groebprereduce} switch] \item[ \nameref{groebfullreduction} switch] \item[ \nameref{gltbasis} switch] \item[ \nameref{gltb} variable] \item[ \nameref{glterms} variable] \item[ \nameref{groebstat} switch] \item[ \nameref{trgroeb} switch] \item[ \nameref{trgroebs} switch] \item[ \nameref{groebnert} operator] \end{Related} \end{Operator} % ------------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Variable}{groebmonfac} The variable \name{groebmonfac} is connected to the handling of monomial factors. A monomial factor is a product of variable powers as a factor, e.g. x**2*y in x**3*y - 2*x**2*y**2. A monomial factor represents a solution of the type x = 0 or y = 0 with a certain multiplicity. With \nameref{groebnerf} the multiplicity of monomial factors is lowered to the value of the shared variable \name{groebmonfac} which by default is 1 (= monomial factors remain present, but their multiplicity is brought down). With \name{groebmonfac}:= 0 the monomial factors are suppressed completely. \end{Variable} % ---------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Variable}{groebresmax} The variable \name{groebresmax} controls during \nameref{groebnerf} calculations the number of partial results. Its default value is 300. If more partial results are calculated, the calculation is terminated. \end{Variable} % ---------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Variable}{groebrestriction} During \nameref{groebnerf} calculations irrelevant branches can be excluded by setting the variable \name{groebrestriction}. The following restrictions are implemented: \begin{Syntax} \name{groebrestriction} := \name{nonnegative} \\ \name{groebrestriction} := \name{positive}\\ \name{groebrestriction} := \name{zeropoint} \end{Syntax} With \name{nonnegative} branches are excluded where one polynomial has no nonnegative real zeros; with \name{positive} the restriction is sharpened to positive zeros only. The restriction \name{zeropoint} excludes all branches which do not have the origin (0,0,...0) in their solution set. \end{Variable} %--------------------------------------------------------- \subsection{Tracing Groebner bases} %--------------------------------------------------------- \index{tracing Groebner} \begin{Switch}{groebprot} If \name{groebprot} is \name{ON} the computation steps during \nameref{preduce}, \nameref{greduce} and \nameref{groebner} are collected in a list which is assigned to the variable \nameref{groebprotfile}. \end{Switch} %---------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Variable}{groebprotfile} See \nameref{groebprot} switch. \end{Variable} %---------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{groebnert} \begin{Syntax} \name{groebnert}\(\{\meta{v}=\meta{exp},...\}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{v} are \nameref{kernel}\name{s} (simple or indexed variables), \meta{exp} are polynomials. \name{groebnert} is functionally equivalent to a \nameref{groebner} call for \{\meta{exp},...\}, but the result is a set of equations where the left-hand sides are the basis elements while the right-hand sides are the same values expressed as combinations of the input formulas, expressed in terms of the names \meta{v} \begin{Bigexample} groebnert({p1=2*x**2+4*y**2-100,p2=2*x-y+1}); GB1 := {2*X - Y + 1=P2, 2 9*Y - 2*Y - 199= - 2*X*P2 - Y*P2 + 2*P1 + P2} \end{Bigexample} \end{Operator} %---------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{preducet} \begin{Syntax} \name{preduce}\(\meta{p},\{\meta{v}=\meta{exp}...\}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{p} is an expression, \meta{v} are kernels (simple or indexed variables), \name{exp} are polynomials. \name{preducet} computes the remainder of \meta{p} modulo \{\meta{exp},...\} similar to \nameref{preduce}, but the result is an equation which expresses the remainder as combination of the polynomials. \begin{Bigexample} GB2 := {G1=2*X - Y + 1,G2=9*Y**2 - 2*Y - 199} preducet(q=x**2,gb2); - 16*Y + 208= - 18*X*G1 - 9*Y*G1 + 36*Q + 9*G1 - G2 \end{Bigexample} \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------------------------ \subsection{Groebner Bases for Modules} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Concept}{Module} Given a polynomial ring, e.g. R=Z[x,y,...] and an integer n>1. The vectors with n elements of R form a free MODULE under elementwise addition and multiplication with elements of R. For a submodule given by a finite basis a Groebner basis can be computed, and the facilities of the GROEBNER package are available except the operators \nameref{groebnerf} and \name{groesolve}. The vectors are encoded using auxiliary variables which represent the unit vectors in the module. These are declared in the share variable \nameref{gmodule}. \end{Concept} \begin{Variable}{gmodule} The vectors of a free \nameref{module} over a polynomial ring R are encoded as linear combinations with unit vectors of M which are represented by auxiliary variables. These must be collected in the variable \name{gmodule} before any call to an operator of the Groebner package. \begin{verbatim} torder({x,y,v1,v2,v3})$ gmodule := {v1,v2,v3}$ g:=groebner({x^2*v1 + y*v2,x*y*v1 - v3,2y*v1 + y*v3}); \end{verbatim} compute the Groebner basis of the submodule \begin{verbatim} ([x^2,y,0],[xy,0,-1],[0,2y,y]) \end{verbatim} The members of the list \name{gmodule} are automatically appended to the end of the variable list, if they are not yet members there. They take part in the actual term ordering. \end{Variable} %------------------------------------------------------------ \subsection{Computing with distributive polynomials} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Operator}{gsort} \index{distributive polynomials} \begin{Syntax} \name{gsort}\(\meta{p}\) \end{Syntax} where \meta{p} is a polynomial or a list of polynomials. The polynomials are reordered and sorted corresponding to the current \nameref{term order}. \begin{Examples} torder lex;\\ gsort(x**2+2x*y+y**2,{y,x}); & {y**2+2y*x+x**2} \end{Examples} \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------------------------ \begin{Operator}{gsplit} \index{distributive polynomials} \begin{Syntax} \name{gsplit}\(\meta{p}[,\meta{vars}]\); \end{Syntax} where \meta{p} is a polynomial or a list of polynomials. The polynomial is reordered corresponding to the the current \nameref{term order} and then separated into leading term and reductum. Result is a list with the leading term as first and the reductum as second element. \begin{Examples} torder lex;\\ gsplit(x**2+2x*y+y**2,{y,x}); & \{y**2,2y*x+x**2\} \end{Examples} \end{Operator} %------------------------------------------------------- \begin{Operator}{gspoly} \index{distributive polynomials} \begin{Syntax} \name{gspoly}\(\meta{p1},\meta{p2}\); \end{Syntax} where \meta{p1} and \meta{p2} are polynomials. The \name{subtraction} polynomial of p1 and p2 is computed corresponding to the method of the Buchberger algorithm for computing \name{groebner bases}: p1 and p2 are multiplied with terms such that when subtracting them the leading terms cancel each other. \end{Operator}
