A Theory and an Algorithm of Approximate Gröbner Bases

摘要

In this paper, we treat polynomials with coefficients of floating-point numbers. The conventional concept of ideal breaks down for such polynomials, and we first define a concept of "approximate ideal''. Then, introducing "accuracy-guarding reductions'', we define approximate Groebner bases and give an algorithm for computing the approximate Groebner bases. We prove several theorems showing basic properties of approximate Groebner bases. The algorithm has been implemented, and we explain the approximate Groebner bases concretely by instructive examples.
