Since you are still in a ring with 8 (and not 4) variables. <snip> > What i do next i set: > > x[0]=P(0) > x[1]=P(1) > > x[4]=P(1) > x[5]=P(0) > > Then my new system is: > > sage: e > > [x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3, > x3*x7 + x3 + x7, > x2*x7 + x6 + 1, > x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3 + x6 + 1, > x2*x7 + x3*x6 + x7, > x2*x6 + x2*x7 + x3*x7 + x3, > x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x7 + x3 + x7, > x2*x6 + x3*x6 + x3, > x2*x7 + x3 + x6 + x7 + 1, > x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x7, > x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3 + x7] Apparently x2,x3,... are still generators of your original polynomial ring P -- and P has 8 variables, even though the new system of polynomials e uses only four of them. Defining a new ring with only the "surviving" variables has the expected result: sage: P.<x2,x3,x6,x7> = PolynomialRing(GF(2), 4, 'x',order='lex') sage: e = [x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3, ....: x3*x7 + x3 + x7, ....: x2*x7 + x6 + 1, ....: x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3 + x6 + 1, ....: x2*x7 + x3*x6 + x7, ....: x2*x6 + x2*x7 + x3*x7 + x3, ....: x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x7 + x3 + x7, ....: x2*x6 + x3*x6 + x3, ....: x2*x7 + x3 + x6 + x7 + 1, ....: x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x7, ....: x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3 + x7] sage: I=ideal(e) sage: I.dimension() 0 sage: I2=ideal(I.groebner_basis()) sage: V=I2.variety() sage: V [{x2: 0, x7: 0, x6: 1, x3: 0}] Substitution of variables in a polynomial ideal *and* carrying it to a smaller polynomial ring seems to be a common problem. The subs-method does the substitution but keeps the ring: sage: I.subs({x2:0}) Ideal (x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3, x3*x7 + x3 + x7, x2*x7 + x6 + 1, x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3 + x6 + 1, x2*x7 + x3*x6 + x7, x2*x6 + x2*x7 + x3*x7 + x3, x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x7 + x3 + x7, x2*x6 + x3*x6 + x3, x2*x7 + x3 + x6 + x7 + 1, x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x7, x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3 + x7) of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x2, x3, x6, x7 over Finite Field of size 2 Question to everybody: Is there a method that substitutes, say, x2=0 and returns an ideal in a polynomial ring over x3, x6, x7? If not, do you agree that such method (called, say, "specialisation") would be useful?
