Hello, I have a system of 11 quadratic equations over GF(2) in 8 variables. I compute it's groebner basis. The ideal generated by it has dimension 0 so I compute its variety. It results in 16 solutions (16 possible sets of values for the 8 variables). I take one of the solutions and then i replace half of the variables of my system (ie. 4 variables) with their respective values from the taken solution. This results in a new system of equations of 4 variables.
The dimension of the ideal of the groebner basis of the new system is 4 and not 0? Why? I would like to compute the variety of the new system and I would expect to find the solution of the other half of the variables. However the dimension of the ideal is 4 and i cannot compute the variety. Why the ideal dimension is 4, when it was 0 in the very beginning? Does ideal dimension 4 mean that i have infinite number of solutions? If yes, how is it possible when i see that there are exactly 16 solutions? Please see next for a specific example: I define P = PolynomialRing(GF(2), N, 'x',order='lex') I have a system of 11 quadratic equations over GF(2) in 8 variables. sage: e [x0*x4 + x0*x5 + x0*x7 + x0 + x1*x4 + x1*x5 + x1 + x2*x4 + x2*x7 + x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3, x0*x4 + x0*x5 + x0*x6 + x1*x4 + x1*x5 + x1*x7 + x1 + x2*x4 + x2*x5 + x2 + x3*x4 + x3*x7, x0*x5 + x0*x6 + x0*x7 + x1*x4 + x1*x5 + x1*x6 + x2*x4 + x2*x5 + x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x4 + x3*x5 + x3, x0*x4 + x0*x6 + x0*x7 + x1*x4 + x1*x5 + x1*x6 + x2*x4 + x2*x5 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3, x0*x4 + x0*x5 + x0*x7 + x0 + x1*x4 + x1*x7 + x1 + x2*x7 + x3*x4 + x3*x6 + x3, x0*x4 + x0*x5 + x0*x6 + x1*x4 + x1*x5 + x1 + x2*x6 + x2*x7 + x3*x5 + x3*x7 + x3, x0*x5 + x0*x6 + x0*x7 + x1*x4 + x1*x5 + x1*x7 + x1 + x2*x4 + x2*x7 + x3*x7 + x3, x0*x5 + x0*x7 + x0 + x1*x5 + x1*x6 + x1*x7 + x2*x4 + x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x4 + x3*x5 + x3*x6 + x4 + x6 + x7 + 1, x0*x4 + x0*x5 + x0*x6 + x1*x6 + x1 + x2*x4 + x2*x5 + x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x5 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x7 + 1, x0*x4 + x0*x6 + x0 + x1*x4 + x1*x5 + x1*x6 + x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x4 + x3*x5 + x3*x7 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6, x0*x5 + x0*x6 + x0*x7 + x1*x4 + x1*x6 + x1 + x2*x4 + x2*x5 + x2*x6 + x3*x6 + x3 + x5 + x6 + x7] sage: The ideal generated by the polynomials in e has dimension 0: sage: I = ideal(e) sage: I.dimension() 0 sage: The ideal of the groebner basis of I has also dimension 0: sage: G=I.groebner_basis() sage: I2=ideal(G) sage: I2.dimension() 0 sage: So i compute the variety V of I2: sage: V=I2.variety() sage: V [{x1: 1, x0: 0, x3: 1, x2: 1, x5: 0, x4: 0, x7: 0, x6: 0}, {x1: 0, x0: 1, x3: 1, x2: 1, x5: 0, x4: 1, x7: 0, x6: 0}, {x1: 0, x0: 0, x3: 0, x2: 1, x5: 1, x4: 0, x7: 0, x6: 0}, {x1: 0, x0: 0, x3: 1, x2: 1, x5: 1, x4: 1, x7: 0, x6: 0}, {x1: 1, x0: 1, x3: 0, x2: 0, x5: 0, x4: 0, x7: 0, x6: 1}, {x1: 1, x0: 0, x3: 0, x2: 0, x5: 0, x4: 1, x7: 0, x6: 1}, {x1: 0, x0: 0, x3: 0, x2: 0, x5: 1, x4: 0, x7: 0, x6: 1}, {x1: 1, x0: 0, x3: 0, x2: 1, x5: 1, x4: 1, x7: 0, x6: 1}, {x1: 1, x0: 1, x3: 1, x2: 1, x5: 0, x4: 0, x7: 1, x6: 0}, {x1: 0, x0: 0, x3: 1, x2: 0, x5: 0, x4: 1, x7: 1, x6: 0}, {x1: 1, x0: 1, x3: 0, x2: 1, x5: 1, x4: 0, x7: 1, x6: 0}, {x1: 0, x0: 1, x3: 0, x2: 0, x5: 1, x4: 1, x7: 1, x6: 0}, {x1: 1, x0: 1, x3: 1, x2: 0, x5: 0, x4: 0, x7: 1, x6: 1}, {x1: 0, x0: 1, x3: 1, x2: 0, x5: 0, x4: 1, x7: 1, x6: 1}, {x1: 0, x0: 1, x3: 0, x2: 1, x5: 1, x4: 0, x7: 1, x6: 1}, {x1: 1, x0: 0, x3: 1, x2: 0, x5: 1, x4: 1, x7: 1, x6: 1}] sage: What i do next i set: x[0]=P(0) x[1]=P(1) x[4]=P(1) x[5]=P(0) Then my new system is: sage: e [x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3, x3*x7 + x3 + x7, x2*x7 + x6 + 1, x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3 + x6 + 1, x2*x7 + x3*x6 + x7, x2*x6 + x2*x7 + x3*x7 + x3, x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x7 + x3 + x7, x2*x6 + x3*x6 + x3, x2*x7 + x3 + x6 + x7 + 1, x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x7, x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3 + x7] sage: Its ideals dimension is 4: sage: I=ideal(e) sage: I.dimension() 4 sage: Its groebner basis is: sage: G=I.groebner_basis() sage: G [x7, x6 + 1, x3, x2 + x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3] sage: The dimension of the ideal generated by G is also 4 and i cannot compute the variety: sage: I2=ideal(G) sage: I2.dimension() 4 sage: V=I2.variety() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/vvesseli/sage/sage-3.1.2/<ipython console> in <module>() /home/vvesseli/sage/sage-3.1.2/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/ rings/polynomial/multi_polynomial_ideal.py in variety(self, ring) 1465 P = self.ring() 1466 if ring is not None: P = P.change_ring(ring) -> 1467 T = self.triangular_decomposition('singular:triangLfak') 1468 1469 V = [] /home/vvesseli/sage/sage-3.1.2/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/ rings/polynomial/multi_polynomial_ideal.py in triangular_decomposition(self, algorithm, singular) 702 703 if I.dimension() != 0: --> 704 raise TypeError, "dimension must be zero" 705 706 Ibar = I._singular_() TypeError: dimension must be zero sage: How can i solve e for the rest of the variables?
