Numerical primary decomposition

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Consider an ideal defining a complex affine variety . We describe the components associated to I by means of {em numerical primary decomposition} (NPD). The method is based on the construction of {em deflation ideal} I(d) that defines the {em deflated variety} dXd in a complex space of higher dimension. For every embedded component there exists d and an isolated component dYd of dId projecting onto Y. In turn, dYd can be discovered by existing methods for prime decomposition, in particular, the {em numerical irreducible decomposition}, applied to dXd. The concept of NPD gives a full description of the scheme Spec(R/I) by representing each component with a {em witness set}. We propose an algorithm to produce a collection of witness sets that contains a NPD and that can be used to solve the {em ideal membership problem} for I.
