The majority of the algorithms we develop in this study rely on our ability to find all places dividing any coefficient of the given quadratic form. This problem is equivalent to the factorization of fractional ideals in the ring of polynomial functions of a global function field. As a result, we begin by presenting alternative approaches for factoring fractional ideals that do not rely on determining the maximum order of the global function field in question. We then propose techniques for tackling the following quadratic form theory computational problems: how to detect whether a quadratic form is isotropic or not, how to detect whether a quadratic form is hyperbolic or not, how to compute the anisotropic dimension (or equivalently the Witt index) of a quadratic form, how to construct an anisotropic part of a quadratic form, how to determine if two forms are Witt-similar or are Ono-similar or not. We further explore algorithms for computing some important field invariants that are linked to quadratic forms. Those are: the length of a sum of squares, the level of a field, the Pythagoras number of a field, as well as a Pythagoras element of a field.","PeriodicalId":41965,"journal":{"name":"ACM Communications in Computer Algebra","volume":"56 1","pages":"150 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42574074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Let F = {F1,...,Fm+1} ⊂ K[x, u] be a given system, where (x) = (x1,...,xm) and (u) = (u1,...,un). Currently, we treat only such Fs that are \"healthy\" (see the text). Let [EQUATION], where [EQUATION], be the reduced Gröbner basis of ideal (F) w.r.t. the lexicographic order, to be abbreviated to GB(F). Let [EQUATION], be such that [EQUATION] is a small multiple of G1, and the leading monomial of [EQUATION], is a multiple (hopefully small) of the leading monomial of Gi. Our method computes [EQUATION] first, then computes [EQUATION]. Finally, we will apply Buchberger's method to system [EQUATION]. Four new theorems are given. The first and second ones are to compute the lowest-order element of the ideal generated by relatively prime G, H ∈ K[x, u], without computing any Spolynomial. The third theorem says that if F is healthy then [EQUATION]. We compute resultants in K[u], of F through different routes. Then, by Theorem 3, the resultants will be different multiples of G1. Hence, the GCD of them will be a small multiple of G1. In the elimination of x through different routes, we obtain sets of similar remainders such that the elements of each set have the same leading variable and nearly the same degrees. We call the leading coefficients of mutually similar remainders an \"LCsystem\". We eliminate the leading variables of suitably chosen LCsystems. The fourth theorem constructs a polynomial [EQUATION], such that the leading coefficient of [EQUATION] is the GCD of resultants of elements of an LCsystem chosen.","PeriodicalId":41965,"journal":{"name":"ACM Communications in Computer Algebra","volume":"56 1","pages":"97 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45433243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
