Abstract

Let U be a submodule of P 8, P a ring of multivariate polynomials, let G 1, …, G r generate U, and let F 1:= Σb 1j G j ,…, F m := Σb ij G j with b mj P. If a set of generators for the module of syzygies w. r. t. (G 1,…, G r ) is given, then one problem is to compute a set of generators for the module of syzygies w. r. t. (F 1,…, F m ) and to decide whether F 1, …, F m also generate U. For this purpose an algorithm is presented which is similar to the Gauß-Jordan algorithm in linear algebra. It uses Gröbner bases techniques for modules and allows to solve some constructive problems in connection with modules.
