Abstract

Let R be a ring of polynomials in m+n variables over a field K and let I be an ideal in R. Furthermore, let (R"r"s)"r","s"@?"Z be the natural bifiltration of the ring R and let (M"r"s)"r","s"@?"Z be the corresponding natural bifiltration of the R-module M=R/I associated with the given set of generators introduced by Levin. The author shows an algorithm for constructing a characteristic set G={g"1,...,g"s} of I with respect to a special type of reduction introduced by Levin, that allows one to find the Hilbert polynomial in two variables of the bifiltered and bigraded R-module R/I. This algorithm can be easily extended to the case of bifiltered R-submodules of free R-modules of finite rankp over R.
