Abstract

This paper deals with the effective computation of the radical of certain polynomial ideals. Let k be a characteristic zero field, f 1,..., f n−r ε k[X 1,..., X n ] a regular sequence with d:=maxj deg fj,

the generated ideal,

its radical, and suppose that the factor ring k[X 1,...,X n ]/

is a Cohen-Macaulay ring. Under these assumptions we exhibit a single exponential algorithm which computes a system of generators of
