Two Remarks on Independent Sets

Hans-Gert Gräbe

DOI: 10.1023/A:1022459607909

Abstract

In the first part we generalize the notion of strongly independent sets, introduced in [10] for polynomial ideals, to submodules of free modules and explain their computational relevance. We discuss also two algorithms to compute strongly independent sets that rest on the primary decomposition of squarefree monomial ideals.
Usually the initial ideal in( I) of a polynomial ideal I is worse than I. In [9] the authors observed that nevertheless in( I) is not as bad as one should expect, showing that in( I) is connected in codimension one if I is prime.
