5.1.46 groebner

Procedure from library standard.lib (see standard_lib).

Syntax:
groebner ( ideal_expression )
groebner ( module_expression )
groebner ( ideal_expression, int_expression )
groebner ( module_expression, int_expression )
groebner ( ideal_expression, list of string_expressions )
groebner ( ideal_expression, list of string_expressions and int_expression )
groebner ( ideal_expression, int_expression )

Type:
type of the first argument

Purpose:
computes a standard basis of the first argument I (ideal or module) by a heuristically chosen method (default) or by a method specified by further arguments of type string. Possible methods are:
- the direct methods "std" or "slimgb" without conversion,
- conversion methods "hilb" or "fglm" where a Groebner basis is first computed with an "easy" ordering and then converted to the ordering of the basering by the Hilbert driven Groebner basis computation or by linear algebra. The actual computation of the Groebner basis can be specified by "std" or by "slimgb" (not for all orderings implemented).
A further string "par2var" converts parameters to an extra block of variables before a Groebner basis computation (and afterwards back). option(prot) informs about the chosen method.

Note:
If an additional argument, say wait, of type int is given, then the computation runs for at most wait seconds. That is, if no result could be computed in wait seconds, then the computation is interrupted, 0 is returned, a warning message is displayed, and the global variable Standard::groebner_error is defined. This feature uses MP and hence it is available on UNIX platforms, only.

Hint:
Since there exists no uniform best method for computing standard bases, and since the difference in performance of a method on different examples can be huge, it is recommended to test, for hard examples, first various methods on a simplified example (e.g. use characteristic 32003 instead of 0 or substitute a subset of parameters/variables by integers, etc.).

Example:
