Computing the Rational Univariate Represenation of a Polynomial SystemRoman Pearce
A rational univariate representation is a triangular form for a polynomial system particularily well-suited to symbolic solving. Most notably, the polynomials in this representation have very small coefficients - often much smaller than in a lexicographic Groebner basis. Dahan and Schost proved at ISSAC this year that the size of the integer coefficients of the polynomials in this representation is LINEAR (in certain quantities) whereas they are QUADRATIC in a lex Groebner basis. We will discuss the problem of computing this representation without introducing large numbers, and we will present a modular method. A preliminary implementation of this method allows Maple to solve substantially larger polynomial systems. |
