Groebner Bases Applet

 

This applet computes the reduced Groebner basis of a polynomial ideal in Q[x1, x2, ..., xn].

Instructions.

  1. Write the generators in the text area labeled "Generators:", one polynomial per row. Write the polynomial as a series of monomials with coefficients before indeterminates. Use "^" for powers. Examples:

    -2*x1^3+x1*x2-1 OK
    1-x1*2/3-x2*5 NO
    1-2/3*x1-5*x2 OK
    y*(x-z)+(2x)^3 NO
    y*x-y*z+8*x^3 OK
    -2*(x-1) NO
    -2*x+2 OK


  2. Write the indeterminates you have used separated by blanks, in decreasing order. Examples:

    x y z t means x>y>z>t
    x1 x2 x3 means x1>x2>x3
    x3 x2 x1 means x3>x2>x1


  3. Choose a monomial ordering among:

    LEX Lexicographic
    GRLEX Graded Lexicographic
    GREVLEX Graded Reverse Lexicographic
    ELIM kth-elimination order.
    You must specify k in the textfield on the right
    (1 is the default).


  4. Tick off the "detailed output" check box if you want the applet to print a detailed output of the steps actually performed to compute the basis. I think this is a nice option from a didactic point of view.

  5. Click the "Compute" button to start the applet or "Clear" to clear all the fields.
If your browser recognized the applet tag, you would see an applet here.
EXAMPLE
The reduced Groebner basis of I = (t3+x+y, t2+1/2x2-x-z2, t2+y-z2)computed by the applet (with the 1st elimination order and t>x>y>z):
