Singular Manual: Groebner basis conversion

| ### A.2.2 Groebner basis conversion The performance of Buchberger's algorithm is sensitive to the chosen monomial order. A Groebner basis computation with respect to a less favorable order such as the lexicographic ordering may easily run out of time or memory even in cases where a Groebner basis computation with respect to a more efficient order such as the degree reverse lexicographic ordering is very well feasible. Groebner basis conversion algorithms and the Hilbert-driven Buchberger algorithm are based on this observation: Groebner basis conversion: Given an ideal and a slow monomial order, compute a Groebner basis with respect to an appropriately chosen fast order. Then convert the result to a Groebner basis with respect to the given slow order. Hilbert-driven Buchberger algorithm: Homogenize the given generators for with respect to a new variable, say, . Extend the given slow ordering on to a global product ordering on . Compute a Groebner basis for the ideal generated by the homogenized polynomials with respect to a fast ordering. Read the Hilbert function, and use this information when computing a Groebner basis with respect to the extended (slow) ordering. Finally, dehomogenize the elements of the resulting Groebner basis. SINGULAR provides implementations for the FGLM conversion algorithm (which applies to zero-dimensional ideals only, see stdfglm) and variants of the Groebner walk conversion algorithm (which works for arbitrary ideals, See frwalk, grwalk_lib). An implementation of the Hilbert-driven Buchberger algorithm is accessible via the `stdhilb` command (see also std). For the ideal below, `stdfglm` is more than 100 times and `stdhilb` about 10 times faster than `std`.
