A New Type of Gröbner Basis and Its Complexity
share
The new type of ideal basis introduced herein constitutes a compromise between the Gröbner bases based on the Buchberger's algorithm and the characteristic sets based on the Wu's method. It reduces the complexity of the traditional Gröbner bases and subdues the notorious intermediate expression swell problem and intermediate coefficient swell problem to a substantial extent. The computation of an S-polynomial for the new bases requires at most O(mln^2mlnln m) word operations whereas O(m^6ln^2m) word operations are requisite in the Buchberger's algorithm. Here m denotes the upper bound for the numbers of terms both in the leading coefficients and for the rest of the polynomials. The new bases are for zero-dimensional polynomial ideals and based on univariate pseudo-divisions. However in contrast to the pseudo-divisions in the Wu's method for the characteristic sets, the new bases retain the algebraic information of the original ideal and in particular, solve the ideal membership problem. In order to determine the authentic factors of the eliminant, we analyze the multipliers of the pseudo-divisions and develop an algorithm over principal quotient rings with zero divisors.
