Term orders#

Sage supports the following term orders:

Lexicographic (lex)

\(x^a < x^b\) if and only if there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_1 = b_1, \dots, a_{i-1} = b_{i-1}, a_i < b_i\). This term order is called ‘lp’ in Singular.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order='lex')
sage: x > y
True
sage: x > y^2
True
sage: x > 1
True
sage: x^1*y^2 > y^3*z^4
True
sage: x^3*y^2*z^4 < x^3*y^2*z^1
False
Degree reverse lexicographic (degrevlex)

Let \(\deg(x^a) = a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_n\), then \(x^a < x^b\) if and only if \(\deg(x^a) < \deg(x^b)\) or \(\deg(x^a) = \deg(x^b)\) and there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_n = b_n, \dots, a_{i+1} = b_{i+1}, a_i > b_i\). This term order is called ‘dp’ in Singular.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order='degrevlex')
sage: x > y
True
sage: x > y^2*z
False
sage: x > 1
True
sage: x^1*y^5*z^2 > x^4*y^1*z^3
True
sage: x^2*y*z^2 > x*y^3*z
False
Degree lexicographic (deglex)

Let \(\deg(x^a) = a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_n\), then \(x^a < x^b\) if and only if \(\deg(x^a) < \deg(x^b)\) or \(\deg(x^a) = \deg(x^b)\) and there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_1 = b_1, \dots, a_{i-1} = b_{i-1}, a_i < b_i\). This term order is called ‘Dp’ in Singular.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order='deglex')
sage: x > y
True
sage: x > y^2*z
False
sage: x > 1
True
sage: x^1*y^2*z^3 > x^3*y^2*z^0
True
sage: x^2*y*z^2 > x*y^3*z
True
Inverse lexicographic (invlex)

\(x^a < x^b\) if and only if there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_n = b_n, \dots, a_{i+1} = b_{i+1}, a_i < b_i\). This order is called ‘rp’ in Singular.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order='invlex')
sage: x > y
False
sage: y > x^2
True
sage: x > 1
True
sage: x*y > z
False

This term order only makes sense in a non-commutative setting because if P is the ring \(k[x_1, \dots, x_n]\) and term order ‘invlex’ then it is equivalent to the ring \(k[x_n, \dots, x_1]\) with term order ‘lex’.

Negative lexicographic (neglex)

\(x^a < x^b\) if and only if there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_1 = b_1, \dots, a_{i-1} = b_{i-1}, a_i > b_i\). This term order is called ‘ls’ in Singular.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order='neglex')
sage: x > y
False
sage: x > 1
False
sage: x^1*y^2 > y^3*z^4
False
sage: x^3*y^2*z^4 < x^3*y^2*z^1
True
sage: x*y > z
False
Negative degree reverse lexicographic (negdegrevlex)

Let \(\deg(x^a) = a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_n\), then \(x^a < x^b\) if and only if \(\deg(x^a) > \deg(x^b)\) or \(\deg(x^a) = \deg(x^b)\) and there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_n = b_n, \dots, a_{i+1} = b_{i+1}, a_i > b_i\). This term order is called ‘ds’ in Singular.

True
sage: x^2*y*z^2 > x*y^3*z
False
Negative degree lexicographic (negdeglex)

Let \(\deg(x^a) = a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_n\), then \(x^a < x^b\) if and only if \(\deg(x^a) > \deg(x^b)\) or \(\deg(x^a) = \deg(x^b)\) and there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_1 = b_1, \dots, a_{i-1} = b_{i-1}, a_i < b_i\). This term order is called ‘Ds’ in Singular.

Weighted degree reverse lexicographic (wdegrevlex), positive integral weights

Let \(\deg_w(x^a) = a_1w_1 + a_2w_2 + \dots + a_nw_n\) with weights \(w\), then \(x^a < x^b\) if and only if \(\deg_w(x^a) < \deg_w(x^b)\) or \(\deg_w(x^a) = \deg_w(x^b)\) and there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_n = b_n, \dots, a_{i+1} = b_{i+1}, a_i > b_i\). This term order is called ‘wp’ in Singular.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order=TermOrder('wdegrevlex',(1,2,3)))
sage: x > y
False

Weighted degree lexicographic (wdeglex), positive integral weights

Let \(\deg_w(x^a) = a_1w_1 + a_2w_2 + \dots + a_nw_n\) with weights \(w\), then \(x^a < x^b\) if and only if \(\deg_w(x^a) < \deg_w(x^b)\) or \(\deg_w(x^a) = \deg_w(x^b)\) and there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_1 = b_1, \dots, a_{i-1} = b_{i-1}, a_i < b_i\). This term order is called ‘Wp’ in Singular.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order=TermOrder('wdeglex',(1,2,3)))
sage: x > y
False
sage: x > x^2
False
sage: x > 1
True
sage: x^1*y^2 > x^2*z
False
sage: y*z > x^3*y
False
Negative weighted degree reverse lexicographic (negwdegrevlex), positive integral weights

Let \(\deg_w(x^a) = a_1w_1 + a_2w_2 + \dots + a_nw_n\) with weights \(w\), then \(x^a < x^b\) if and only if \(\deg_w(x^a) > \deg_w(x^b)\) or \(\deg_w(x^a) = \deg_w(x^b)\) and there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_n = b_n, \dots, a_{i+1} = b_{i+1}, a_i > b_i\). This term order is called ‘ws’ in Singular.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order=TermOrder('negwdegrevlex',(1,2,3)))
sage: x > y
True
sage: x > x^2
True
sage: x > 1
False
sage: x^1*y^2 > x^2*z
True
sage: y*z > x^3*y
False
Degree negative lexicographic (degneglex)

Let \(\deg(x^a) = a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_n\), then \(x^a < x^b\) if and only if \(\deg(x^a) < \deg(x^b)\) or \(\deg(x^a) = \deg(x^b)\) and there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_1 = b_1, \dots, a_{i-1} = b_{i-1}, a_i > b_i\). This term order is called ‘dp_asc’ in PolyBoRi. Singular has the extra weight vector ordering (a(1:n),ls) for this purpose.

EXAMPLES:

sage: t = TermOrder('degneglex')
sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, order=t)
sage: x*y > y*z # indirect doctest
False
sage: x*y > x
True
Negative weighted degree lexicographic (negwdeglex), positive integral weights

Let \(\deg_w(x^a) = a_1w_1 + a_2w_2 + \dots + a_nw_n\) with weights \(w\), then \(x^a < x^b\) if and only if \(\deg_w(x^a) > \deg_w(x^b)\) or \(\deg_w(x^a) = \deg_w(x^b)\) and there exists \(1 \le i \le n\) such that \(a_1 = b_1, \dots, a_{i-1} = b_{i-1}, a_i < b_i\). This term order is called ‘Ws’ in Singular.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order=TermOrder('negwdeglex',(1,2,3)))
sage: x > y
True
sage: x > x^2
True
sage: x > 1
False
sage: x^1*y^2 > x^2*z
False
sage: y*z > x^3*y
False

Of these, only ‘degrevlex’, ‘deglex’, ‘degneglex’, ‘wdegrevlex’, ‘wdeglex’, ‘invlex’ and ‘lex’ are global orders.

Sage also supports matrix term order. Given a square matrix \(A\),

\(x^a <_A x^b\) if and only if \(Aa < Ab\)

where \(<\) is the lexicographic term order.

EXAMPLES:

sage: m = matrix(2,[2,3,0,1]); m
[2 3]
[0 1]
sage: T = TermOrder(m); T
Matrix term order with matrix
[2 3]
[0 1]
sage: P.<a,b> = PolynomialRing(QQ,2,order=T)
sage: P
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in a, b over Rational Field
sage: a > b
False
sage: a^3 < b^2
True
sage: S = TermOrder('M(2,3,0,1)')
sage: T == S
True

Additionally all these monomial orders may be combined to product or block orders, defined as:

Let \(x = (x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n)\) and \(y = (y_1, y_2, \dots, y_m)\) be two ordered sets of variables, \(<_1\) a monomial order on \(k[x]\) and \(<_2\) a monomial order on \(k[y]\).

The product order (or block order) \(<\) \(:=\) \((<_1,<_2)\) on \(k[x,y]\) is defined as: \(x^a y^b < x^A y^B\) if and only if \(x^a <_1 x^A\) or (\(x^a =x^A\) and \(y^b <_2 y^B\)).

These block orders are constructed in Sage by giving a comma separated list of monomial orders with the length of each block attached to them.

EXAMPLES:

As an example, consider constructing a block order where the first four variables are compared using the degree reverse lexicographical order while the last two variables in the second block are compared using negative lexicographical order.

sage: P.<a,b,c,d,e,f> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 6,order='degrevlex(4),neglex(2)')
sage: a > c^4
False
sage: a > e^4
True
sage: e > f^2
False

The same result can be achieved by:

sage: T1 = TermOrder('degrevlex',4)
sage: T2 = TermOrder('neglex',2)
sage: T = T1 + T2
sage: P.<a,b,c,d,e,f> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 6, order=T)
sage: a > c^4
False
sage: a > e^4
True

If any other unsupported term order is given the provided string can be forced to be passed through as is to Singular, Macaulay2, and Magma. This ensures that it is for example possible to calculate a Groebner basis with respect to some term order Singular supports but Sage doesn’t:

sage: T = TermOrder("royalorder")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: unknown term order 'royalorder'
sage: T = TermOrder("royalorder",force=True)
sage: T
royalorder term order
sage: T.singular_str()
'royalorder'
