application ideal

This application allows to define ideals and enables other applications to use these. For example we can compute the tropical variety of an ideal via gfan in the application 'tropical'. Using this application with the bundled extension Singular adds a lot more commutative algebra power.

imports from:

  • Groebner:
    The Groebner object collects information about an ideal depending on the monomial ordering of the ambient ring.

  • Ideal:
    An ideal in a polynomial ring.

  • SlackIdeal:
    The type SlackIdeal is a thin wrapper around Ideal that allows avoiding saturation. The current algorithm for computing the SLACK_IDEAL of a Polytope first computes an ideal whose saturation is the actual slack ideal. This last step is very expensive and probably necessary for many applications. Hence the SlackIdeal contains a second ideal NON_SATURATED as a property and the actual saturation step is only done once one asks for the GENERATORS of the SlackIdeal.

With these clients you can create ideals belonging to various parameterized families which occur frequently in comumutative algebra.
