“…It is widely known that the theories and methods of triangular sets are different from those of Gröbner bases conceptually and operationally. The questions that have motivated our work here and in [31,32] are what inherent relationship there may exist between triangular sets and Gröbner bases and how to connect or combine the two algorithmic approaches to amplify their applicability and power. These questions have been touched primarily for some special polynomial ideals such as bivariate ideals [18] and zero-dimensional ideals [22,12,19], while the general literature of studies on triangular sets and Gröbner bases is extremely rich (see [2,4,6,7,8,9,12,13,14,15,17,18,20,21,23,24,25,26,28,29,31,32] and references therein).…”
