Triangular decomposition is one of the standard ways to represent the radical of a polynomial ideal. A general algorithm for computing such a decomposition was proposed by A. Szántó. In this paper, we give the first complete bounds for the degrees of the polynomials and the number of components in the output of the algorithm, providing explicit formulas for these bounds.
The complexity of computing the Galois group of a linear differential equation is of general interest. In a recent work, Feng gave the first degree bound on Hrushovski's algorithm for computing the Galois group of a linear differential equation. This bound is the degree bound of the polynomials used in the first step of the algorithm for finding a proto-Galois group (see Definition 2.7) and is sextuply exponential in the order of the differential equation. In this paper, we use Szántó's algorithm of triangular representation for algebraic sets to analyze the complexity of computing the Galois group of a linear differential equation and we give a new bound which is triple exponential in the order of the given differential equation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
