Abstract

Given a d×nd \times n integer matrix AA, the main result is an elementary, simple-to-state algorithm that finds the largest AA-graded ideal contained in any ideal II in a polynomial ring k[x1,,xn]\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]. The special case where AA is an identity matrix yields that (t.I)k[x1,,xn](t.I) \cap \Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n] is the largest monomial ideal in II, where the generators of t.It.I are those of II but with each variable xix_i replaced by tixit_i x_i for an invertible variable tit_i.
