Chordal :: suggestVariableOrder

suggestVariableOrder -- suggests a good variable ordering

Synopsis

Usage:

suggestVariableOrder I
Inputs:
- I, an ideal
Outputs:
- a list, variable ordering

Description

This method suggests a good variable ordering. The ordering is chosen by finding a good chordal completion of its constraint graph.

i1 : G = cartesianProduct(cycleGraph 3, pathGraph 3);

i2 : I = edgeIdeal G

o2 = monomialIdeal (x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x , x x )
                     1 2   1 3   1 4   3 4   2 5   2 6   3 6   2 7   4 7   6 7   5 8   6 8   5 9   7 9   8 9

o2 : MonomialIdeal of QQ[x ..x ]
                          1   9

i3 : X = suggestVariableOrder I

o3 = {x , x , x , x , x , x , x , x , x }
