In this paper we present an algorithm for construction of minimal involutive
polynomial bases which are Groebner bases of the special form. The most general
involutive algorithms are based on the concept of involutive monomial division
which leads to partition of variables into multiplicative and
non-multiplicative. This partition gives thereby the self-consistent
computational procedure for constructing an involutive basis by performing
non-multiplicative prolongations and multiplicative reductions. Every specific
involutive division generates a particular form of involutive computational
procedure. In addition to three involutive divisions used by Thomas, Janet and
Pommaret for analysis of partial differential equations we define two new ones.
These two divisions, as well as Thomas division, do not depend on the order of
variables. We prove noetherity, continuity and constructivity of the new
divisions that provides correctness and termination of involutive algorithms
for any finite set of input polynomials and any admissible monomial ordering.
We show that, given an admissible monomial ordering, a monic minimal involutive
basis is uniquely defined and thereby can be considered as canonical much like
the reduced Groebner basis.Comment: 22 page
