Abstract: We encode the binomials belonging to the toric ideal IA associated with an integral dimesn matrix A using a short sum of rational functions as introduced by Barvinok cite{bar,newbar}. Under the assumption that d,n are fixed, this representation allows us to compute the Graver basis and the reduced Gr"obner basis of the ideal IA, with respect to any term order, in time polynomial in the size of the input. We also derive a polynomial time algorithm for normal form computation which replaces in this new encoding the usual reductions typical of the division algorithm. We describe other applications, such as the computation of Hilbert series of normal semigroup rings, and we indicate further connections to integer programming and statistics.
