Abstract

In a preceding paper [9] we reported on some experience with a new version of the well known Gröbner algorithm with factorization and constraint inequalities. Here we discuss, how this approach may be refined to produce triangular systems in the sense of [12] and [13]. Such a refinement guarantees, different to the usual Gröbner factorizer, to produce a quasi prime decomposition, i.e. the resulting components are at least pure dimensional radical ideals. As in [9] our method weakens the usual restriction to lexicographic term orders.

Triangular systems are a very helpful tool between factorization at a heuristical level and full decomposition into prime components. Our approach grew up from a consequent interpretation of the algorithmic ideas in [5] as a delayed quotient computation in favour of early use of (multivariate) factorization. It is implemented in version 2.2 of the REDUCE package CALI [8].
