    The Hilbert Zonotope and a Polynomial Time Algorithm for Universal Grobner Bases

    Full text link
    We provide a polynomial time algorithm for computing the universal Gr\"obner basis of any polynomial ideal having a finite set of common zeros in fixed number of variables. One ingredient of our algorithm is an effective construction of the state polyhedron of any member of the Hilbert scheme Hilb^d_n of n-long d-variate ideals, enabled by introducing the Hilbert zonotope H^d_n and showing that it simultaneously refines all state polyhedra of ideals on Hilb^d_n

    Minimal average degree aberration and the state polytope for experimental designs

    For a particular experimental design, there is interest in finding which polynomial models can be identified in the usual regression set up. The algebraic methods based on Groebner bases provide a systematic way of doing this. The algebraic method does not in general produce all estimable models but it can be shown that it yields models which have minimal average degree in a well-defined sense and in both a weighted and unweighted version. This provides an alternative measure to that based on "aberration" and moreover is applicable to any experimental design. A simple algorithm is given and bounds are derived for the criteria, which may be used to give asymptotic Nyquist-like estimability rates as model and sample sizes increase

    Una partició entera es diu triangular si el seu diagrama de Ferrers es pot separar del seu complement amb una línia recta. Aquest treball es basa en alguns desenvolupaments recents sobre el tema per obtenir nous resultats que ofereixen una visió integral de les particions triangulars des de la perspectiva de la combinatòria enumerativa i geomètrica. Es presenta una caracterització natural per a les particions triangulars, la qual es generalitza de forma natural a conceptes anàlegs en dimensions superiors. També es caracteritzen les cel·les esborrables i afegibles, definides per Bergeron i Mazin, i es descriuen els valors de la funció de Möbius al reticle de particions triangulars ordenades per inclusió. Es tracten diversos problemes de compteig, obtenint fórmules d'enumeració i derivant una nova demostració del teorema d'enumeració de paraules equilibrades de Lipatov. Es presenta un algoritme altament eficient per comptar particions triangulars segons la mida, fent possible l'estudi computeritzat de particions triangulars molt grans per primera vegada. La investigació s'estén després a generalitzacions en dimensions superiors anomenades particions piramidals, on es demostra que el nombre de cel·les esborrables i afegibles pot ser arbitràriament gran. En el cas dd-dimensional per a dd primer, es descriu el residu del nombre de particions piramidals de la mateixa mida mòdul dd. Finalment, s'estudien les particions convexes i còncaves, definides com particions amb un diagrama de Ferrers que pot ser separat del seu complement per una corba convexa o còncava. S'obtenen caracteritzacions per a ambdós casos, es demostra que els seus posets segons l'ordre d'inclusió són reticles i es troben els valors de les seves funcions de Möbius. S'estableixen una fita inferior i una superior pel nombre de particions convexes, i s'obté una fita inferior similar en el cas còncau.Una partición entera es triangular si su diagrama de Ferrers puede ser separado de su complemento por una línea recta.

En el caso dd-dimensional para dd primo, se describe el residuo del número de particiones piramidales de un mismo tamaño módulo dd. Finalmente, se estudian las particiones convexas y cóncavas, definidas como particiones cuyo diagrama de Ferrers puede ser separado de su complemento por una curva convexa o cóncava. Ambos casos se caracterizan, se demuestra que sus posets bajo el orden de inclusión son retículos y se encuentran los valores de sus funciones de Möbius. Se proporciona una cota inferior y superior para el número de particiones convexas y se obtiene una cota inferior similar en el caso cóncavo.An integer partition is said to be triangular if its Ferrers diagram can be separated from its complement by a straight line. This work builds on some recent developments on the topic in order to obtain new results that offer a comprehensive look on triangular partitions from the lens of enumerative and geometric combinatorics. A natural characterization for triangular partitions is given, and it is generalized nicely to higher-dimensional analogues. The removable and addable cells, defined by Bergeron and Mazin, are also characterized, and the values of the Möbius function in the lattice of triangular partitions ordered by containment are described. Different counting problems are tackled, obtaining several enumeration formulas and deriving a new proof of Lipatov's enumeration theorem for balanced words. A highly efficient algorithm to count triangular partitions by size is presented, allowing the computerized study of large triangular partitions for the first time. The research is then extended to higher-dimensional generalizations called pyramidal partitions, for which it is proved that the number of removable and addable cells can be arbitrarily high. In the dd-dimensional case for dd prime, the residue of the number of pyramidal partitions of the same size modulo dd is described. Finally, we study convex and concave partitions, defined as partitions whose Ferrers diagram can be separated from its complement by a convex or concave curve. Both cases are characterized, it is proved that their posets under the containment order are lattices and the values of their Möbius functions are found. A lower and an upper bound are given for the number of convex partitions and a similar lower bound is obtained in the concave case.Outgoin

    On the number of corner cuts

    No full text
    A corner cut in dimension d is a finite subset of N d 0 that can be separated from its complement in N d 0 by an affine hyperplane disjoint from N d 0. Corner cuts were first investigated by Onn and Sturmfels [6], the original motivation stemming from computational commutative algebra. Let us write N d 0 k¡cut for the set of corner cuts of cardinality k; in the computational geometer’s termi-nology, these are the k-sets of N d 0. Among other things, Onn and Sturmfels give an upper bound of O(k d−1 2d d+1) for the size of N d 0 k¡cut when the dimension is fixed. In two dimensions, it is known (see [3]) that #  N d 0 = Θ(k log k). k¡cut We will see that in general, for any fixed dimension d, the order of magnitude of #  N d 0 k¡cut is between kd−1 log k and (k log k) d−1. (It has been communicated to me that the same bounds have been found independently by Gaël Rémond.) In fact, the elements of N d 0 k¡cut correspond to the vertices of a certain polytope, and what our proof will show is that the above upper bound holds for the total number of flags of that polytope. Key words: corner cut, Gröbner fan, k-set, reverse search.
