A combinatorial description of the minimal free resolution of a lattice ideal allows us to the connection of Integer Linear Programming and Al1gebra. The non null reduced homology spaces of some simplicial complexes are the key. The extremal rays of the associated cone reduce the number of variables.
In this paper, we study the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of square-free monomial ideals generated in degree . We define some operations on the clutters associated to such ideals and prove that the regularity is preserved under these operations. We apply these operations to introduce some classes of ideals with linear resolutions and also show that any clutter corresponding to a triangulation of the sphere does not have linear resolution while any proper subclutter of it has a linear resolution....
