Abstract

A symbolic-numeric method for calculating an H-basis for the ideal of a positive dimensional complex affine algebraic variety, possibly defined numerically, is given. H-bases for ideals I in I, introduced by Macaulay and later studied by Möller and Sauer, are an analog of Gröbner bases with respect to a global degree ordering: f is an element of I of total degree n if and only f is a C-linear combination of polynomials of total degree n or less which are monomial multiples of members of the H-basis. The method uses the interplay of local and global duality. Applications include factoring multivariable polynomials, analyzing singular curves, finding equations for the union of varieties, and, most importantly, finding equations for components of reducible varieties given numerically.
