Abstract
In this paper it is shown how to transform a regular triangular set into a normal triangular set by computing the W-characteristic set of their saturated ideal and an algorithm is proposed for decomposing any polynomial set into finitely many strong characteristic pairs, each of which is formed with the reduced lexicographic Gr¨obner basis and the normal W-characteristic set of a characterizable ideal.
