In this short note, we extend Faugére’s F4-algorithm for computing Gröbner bases to polynomial rings with coefficients in an Euclidean ring. Instead of successively reducing single S-polynomials as in Buchberger’s algorithm, the F4-algorithm is based on the simultaneous reduction of several polynomials.
We present an algorithm to compute a primary decomposition of an ideal in a polynomial ring over the integers. For this purpose we use algorithms for primary decomposition in polynomial rings over the rationals, resp. over finite fields, and the idea of Shimoyama-Yokoyama, resp. Eisenbud-Hunecke-Vasconcelos, to extract primary ideals from pseudo-primary ideals. A parallelized version of the algorithm is implemented in Singular. Examples and timings are given at the end of the article.
