gfanTropicalStartingCone -- a pair of Groebner bases for use with gfanTropicalTraverse

Synopsis

Description

This method compute a pair of Groebner bases as needed for gfanTropicalTraverse. It heuristically finds a cone of the Tropical Variety. Its first output is the Groebner basis of the cone's monomial-free initial ideal. And the second output is the Groebner basis of the original ideal. Note that gfanTropicalStartingCone uses graded reverse lex order.

o1 = QQ[x..z]

i4 : I=ideal(x+y)

o4 = ideal(x + y)

o4 : Ideal of QQ[x..y]

gfan Documentation

This program computes a starting pair of marked reduced Groebner bases to be used as input for gfan_tropicaltraverse. The input is a homogeneous ideal whose tropical variety is a pure d-dimensional polyhedral complex.
Options:
-g:
 Tell the program that the input is already a reduced Groebner basis.
-d:
 Output dimension information to standard error.
--stable:
 Find starting cone in the stable intersection or, equivalently, pretend that the coefficients are genereric.
