Hi everyone. I created a Sage wrapper for the C interface of FGb, which makes it easy to call FGb from within Sage. The sources are available on Github [1] and can be installed as a Python package into Sage:
[1] https://github.com/mwageringel/fgb_sage FGb is a C-library by J. C. Faugère for computing Gröbner bases and supposedly it is one of the faster implementations that exist. It is included with Maple [2]. FGb is closed source, but comes with a C interface that is freely distributed for academic use. Some of the features: • The computations run in parallel. (This only seems to work for computations over finite fields.) • Elimination/block orders are supported. • It runs on Linux and Mac. (There seem to be some issues, though. I could not get FGb to work on my Ubuntu machine. It fails with an "Illegal instruction" error.) In my Sage interface, I implemented just two functions: computing Gröbner bases and elimination ideals. Supposedly, the FGb C-library supports other functionality like computing Hilbert polynomials, but that part of the library is not documented very well, so it does not make sense to try to create wrappers for that. The focus is finding a Gröbner basis which, once computed, can be used by Sage for further computations. I just wanted to share this. Maybe it is useful for someone.
