Groebner Basis Conversion with FGLM

  The FGLM algorithm of Faugere, Gianni, Lazard and Mora, is a fast and
  effective way to construct Groebner bases for zero-dimensional ideals
  when at least one Groebner basis is already known.  One application is
  solving systems of polynomial equations, where a difficult lexicographic
  basis can be obtained from an easier total degree basis.  We will
  explain and demonstrate the method, and show how it can be used to
  compute the radical of an ideal.
