Abstract

In this paper, the characterizability of radical differential ideals is discussed and the characterizability criterion for them is proved. This criterion is based on the known algorithm for decomposing a radical differential ideal into characterizable components. The inclusion problem is also considered, in the light of which the algorithm for minimal characteristic decomposition of principal ideals is discussed. This algorithm is improved by using the proven characterizability criterion. Differential and algebraic properties of autoreduced sets are discussed, and the structure of differential chains and characteristic sets of radical differential ideals is revealed. The corresponding algorithms are constructed and discussed.
