TY - GEN AU - Mora, Teo TI - Solving Polynomial Equation Systems III: algebraic solving, Vol. 157 SN - 9780521811552 U1 - 512.94 PY - 2015/// CY - Cambridge PB - Cambridge University Press KW - Mathematics KW - Equations KW - Intermediate KW - Algebra KW - Numerical Solutions KW - Polynomials N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index N2 - This third volume of four finishes the program begun in Volume 1 by describing all the most important techniques, mainly based on Gröbner bases, which allow one to manipulate the roots of the equation rather than just compute them. The book begins with the 'standard' solutions (Gianni-Kalkbrener Theorem, Stetter Algorithm, Cardinal-Mourrain result) and then moves on to more innovative methods (Lazard triangular sets, Rouillier's Rational Univariate Representation, the TERA Kronecker package). The author also looks at classical results, such as Macaulay's Matrix, and provides a historical survey of elimination, from Bézout to Cayley. This comprehensive treatment in four volumes is a significant contribution to algorithmic commutative algebra that will be essential reading for algebraists and algebraic geometers ER -
