A database of invariant rings.
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.
An algorithm is described which computes generators of the kernel of derivations on k[X₁,...,Xₙ] up to a previously given bound. For w-homogeneous derivations it is shown that if the algorithm computes a generating set for the kernel then this set is minimal.
We give an effective procedure to find minimal bases for ideals of the ring of polynomials over the integers.
