The first (greatest) term of a polynomial p for this ordering and the corresponding monomial and coefficient are respectively called the leading term, leading monomial and leading coefficient and denoted, in this article, lt(p), lm(p) and lc(p). Most polynomial operations related to Gröbner bases involve the leading terms.
The leading term of a polynomial is thus the term of the largest monomial (for the chosen monomial ordering). Concretely, let R be any ring of polynomials. Then the set M of the (monic) monomials in R is a basis of R , considered as a vector space over the field of the coefficients.
Now any rational root p/q corresponds to a factor of degree 1 in Q[X] of the polynomial, and its primitive representative is then qx − p, assuming that p and q are coprime. But any multiple in Z[X] of qx − p has leading term divisible by q and constant term divisible by p, which proves the statement.
A term with no indeterminates and a polynomial with no indeterminates are called, respectively, a constant term and a constant polynomial. [b] The degree of a constant term and of a nonzero constant polynomial is 0. The degree of the zero polynomial 0 (which has no terms at all) is generally treated as not defined (but see below). [9]
For example, the polynomial x 2 y 2 + 3x 3 + 4y has degree 4, the same degree as the term x 2 y 2. However, a polynomial in variables x and y, is a polynomial in x with coefficients which are polynomials in y, and also a polynomial in y with coefficients which are polynomials in x. The polynomial
The leading term of e λ t (X 1, ..., X n) is X λ. Proof. The leading term of the product is the product of the leading terms of each factor (this is true whenever one uses a monomial order, like the lexicographic order used here), and the leading term of the factor e i (X 1, ..., X n) is clearly X 1 X 2 ···X i.
The leading term of a nonzero polynomial [,, …,], denoted by () is the monomial term of maximal order in and the leading term of = is . The ideal of leading terms , denoted by L T ( I ) {\displaystyle LT(I)} , is the ideal generated by the leading terms of every element in the ideal, that is, L T ( I ) = ( L T ( f ) ∣ f ∈ I ...
A crude version of this algorithm to find a basis for an ideal I of a polynomial ring R proceeds as follows: Input A set of polynomials F that generates I Output A Gröbner basis G for I. G := F; For every f i, f j in G, denote by g i the leading term of f i with respect to the given monomial ordering, and by a ij the least common multiple of g ...
