The methodology of Markov basis initiated by Diaconis and Sturmfels(1998) stimulated active research on Markov bases for more than ten years. It also motivated improvements of algorithms for Grobner basis computation for toric ideals, such…

Let $I_1\subset I_2\subset\dots$ be an increasing sequence of ideals of the ring $\Bbb Z[X]$, $X=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ and let $I$ be their union. We propose an algorithm to compute the Gr\"obner base of $I$ under the assumption that the…

Associated to any vector configuration A is a toric ideal encoded by vectors in the kernel of A. Each toric ideal has two special generating sets: the universal Gr\"obner basis and the Graver basis. While the former is generally a proper…
