Buchberger algorithm and integer programming

From MaRDI portal





[For the entire collection see Zbl 0758.00016.] The problem of finding solutions in non-negative integers for a system of linear equations with integer coefficients can be translated to a subalgebra membership problem. Thus solutions can be found by computing the Gröbner basis of a certain binomial ideal (i.e. an ideal generated by term differences). The authors first describe this algorithm. The solution \(X_ T\) obtained by this algorithm depends on the term order \(T\) chosen for the Gröbner basis computation. Then they prove: if the given system has a minimal solution with respect to a linear cost function, then there is a term order \(T\) (which can be found explicitly) such that \(X_ T\) is a minimal solution. Finally the authors give some remarks that help to simplify the computations and discuss several examples.
