The F5 Algorithm in Buchberger's Style

Symbolic Computation 2010-12-30 v2

Abstract

The famous F5 algorithm for computing \gr basis was presented by Faug\`ere in 2002. The original version of F5 is given in programming codes, so it is a bit difficult to understand. In this paper, the F5 algorithm is simplified as F5B in a Buchberger's style such that it is easy to understand and implement. In order to describe F5B, we introduce F5-reduction, which keeps the signature of labeled polynomials unchanged after reduction. The equivalence between F5 and F5B is also shown. At last, some versions of the F5 algorithm are illustrated.
