Comprehensive Gröbner Systems in Rings of Differential Operators, Holonomic D-modules and B-functions

Abstract

An algorithm for computing comprehensive Gröbner systems (CGS) is introduced in rings of linear partial differential operators. Their applications to b-functions are considered. The resulting algorithm designed for a wide use of computing comprehensive Gröbner systems can be used to compute all the roots of b-functions and relevant holonomic D-modules. Furthermore, with our implementation, effective methods are illustrated for computing holonomic D-modules associated with hypersurface singularities. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is full of versatility.
